You want to bring out the trolls? Just mention what great attorneys Stoffel and Kazel are. You'll actually just get one troll, pretending to be many trolls responding to each other.
we are all tired of Wendy Kazel, she needs to get a life ! and find another blog to complain on

The conviction of OJ in the robbery case is one of the many shames of the Nevada "justice" system. Hopefully, when the case gets to federal court, a judge will see the travesty of this case.
Not a lawyer, at least, not one that understands federal habeas.

I find this case far less shameful than the shit that happens everyday to defendants who don't have money, media scrutiny, and a team of lawyers doing their best to make a name for themselves by getting an acquittal. My sympathy for OJ is relatively low.
I guess I am most outraged by J.Glass' refusal to permit voir dire on feelings about the prior case. I hope that when it gets to the Ninth Circuit, somebody cares.
Why would she permit voir dire on feelings about the prior case? It was unrelated and that line of questioning would only allow jurors to taint one another's views (or even influence those jurors that were asleep under a rock during the prior murder trial). I think that line of questioning is a double edged sword and well within Judge Glass' discretion to not permit.
uh… maybe because the potential jurors might feel so strongly about the acquittal in the murder case that they would convict on the robbery case despite the lack of proof? The taint can be controlled with individual voir dire.

What is the deal with all these overtime lawsuits? The Cosmo had one and now Boyd. Plus you have taxicab companies not paying minimum wage. Are companies really that cheap they can't pay a decent wage. Granted I think there is no need for a union, but damn at least pay someone a fair wage and pay them overtime if they work.
