Once, there was a time when a corporation (British East India Tea Company) was the most powerful force in the world. We are doing our best to try and repeat that reality.

This is a textbook description of a confrontation clause violation
I negotiate these pleas all the time and I am happy for my clients when I can. Still, the drastic punishment range creates the possibility for abuse and that possibility shouldn't be ignored

Definitely appalling. If you are sentenced under this particular statute your mandatory minimum is 25 years and you are not eligible for parole. Whatever sentence the jury or the judge gives you is the sentence you serve. In the worst prisons in the country

In Texas, the accused can face a range of punishment between 25 years and life. Prosecutors often offer a lesser included offense where you can get deferred adjudication and no more than 10 years in prison. Thus making taking a case to trial nearly impossible

@tx_pros @ElLockeLawGroup Are you in a state where the jury does the sentence? I am & trying to guess what a jury will do is sometimes very hard. I once had a lady that stole over 300k from an employer; jury gave a fine only and ordered half restitution. I couldn’t have picked that outcome w/ 100 tries
@bradnovreske @ElLockeLawGroup Exactly. Like I was already struggling under a mountain of burnout and feelings of futility and this feels very much like the last straw for me.
@TehWonderkitty @ElLockeLawGroup Like there's only so much postconviction appeals can do to correct these wrongs when so much deference is given and harmless error analysis has eroded most of our rights 🙃🙃🙃
@ElLockeLawGroup Client was found guilty based on a hearsay statement. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do with that as a criminal defense attorney. Like, what is the point of me if that's a thing the state can do?
@ElLockeLawGroup I’ve made it a habit to just make a confrontation clause objection every single time I make a hearsay objection. The judge may not think the statement is testimonial, but the writ lawyer may disagree
A judge might let the state use hearsay by an alleged victim WITHOUT THE VICTIM. The vic isn't unavailable as a matter of law, has never been crossed & the state will ask the jury to convict based on a statement by the vic's friend abt what the victim told her happened.
@tx_pros @ElLockeLawGroup I don’t have any information about rejection rates, but in my county dismissals are hard to come by, with the exception of family violence cases. YMMV.
@tx_pros @ElLockeLawGroup I am of two minds about this. It is called a plea bargain; the prosecutor should get a plea and the defense should get a bargain. There should be some reward for taking responsibility for conduct and sparing everybody the aggravation of a trial.
@ElLockeLawGroup A defense lawyer MUST ask for a plea bargain in every case even if the client maintains his innocence.
@ElLockeLawGroup In Michigan, you always serve your whole minimum. Get a 25 year mandatory minimum and you're going to serve 25 years. I don't think people really understand how long 25 years in a cage is. It's an entire career for a prison guard.
@ElLockeLawGroup The perniciousness of the myriad of laws allows "stacking", so defendants face far more jail time than the base crime deserves.
@ElLockeLawGroup It's easy to say choice B when it's not your liberty at stake
@ConLawWarrior @ElLockeLawGroup Try being a criminal defense attorney for a while.
