We are aware there is a presidential preference primary day and other news affecting that election which you may want to discuss. Accordingly, please feel free to discuss in a civil manner in the other special post today dedicated to those topics.
Perhaps the MSG / Sphere ought to use their $51M profit to pay some of it mechanic’s liens. This reeks of Adelson’s antics with contractors in the building of the Venetian in the late 90’s.
Or like for traffic control? Road construction? Parking? Have you driven down there? It’s a mess and really dangerous. Idiots running all over the road at night trying to take pictures, cars driving the wrong way, and no where for anyone to park. Vegas continues to set the standard very low for developers with money. Our county commissioners are useless and deserve to lose their jobs to a bunch of avocado toast eating Gen Z-ers.
He has an arbitrator in a big AAA arb I did once. We were sending runners back and forth to Bill’s house (that’s where he was working). I didn’t agree with his decision, but it was a solid decision.
Although it has not made the news yet, the DA filed a motion in the Robert Telles murder trial. The motion simply asks to videotape the deposition of a crime scene analyst, but has an interesting recounting of the police interaction with RT prior to his arrest. I wonder if these are the interactions that were deleted that RT has made such a fuss about. Apparently, at least one of these interactions was recorded separately by an officer (although this isn’t entirely clear). The police claim RT didn’t initially invoke his right to an attorney, although this seems a little murky. To a civil practitioner, it seems that there is a lot of extra, extraneous information in this motion. It would be nice to get some criminal practitioners to comment on the motion. Do you see any footholds here for Draskovich to exclude evidence?
This is just getting out of hand. I thought barring the DA from serving was already nuts, but now you want to bar other civic-minded members of our community like school teachers from serving in the state legislature? That’s nuts. If that’s the case we need to bar members of the NJA. The NJA inevitably puts forward 4 or 5 bills each session to enrich themselves. I’d much rather have a school teacher or nurse from UMC–someone who is concerned with and familiar with the problems of our community–than some local attorney looking to enhance their law firms ability to get larger verdicts at trial.
No absolute immunity. What a surprise!

If you think traffic is bad now, wait for the baseball stadium on the Tropicana site.
Just learned that William “Bill” Turner passed away at his home this past Saturday, February 3rd. Bill was 79. Good dude
Sorry to hear this. He was a good man.

The fringe of this theory includes barring attorneys from serving in the legislature on the theory that attorneys are “officers of the court.”
And then the attorneys get to play guess-what-the-non-attorneys-were-thinking with statutory interpretation. Fun times to be had by all.
