calatty said:Another clueless wannabe lawyer, humptydumpty or whatever your name is, has to get her/his two bits in too. Who do you think defends child molesters and murderers? Criminal defense lawyers! That is their job! Aren't you a nurse's assistant or something? Go change some bedpans instead of pretending you know anything.
calatty said:Knows a few things? Ha ha ha! Random selection of knowledge:
In response to question what post-conviction relief is: "Hey Amos Moses: I have no idea, but I did try to find some info for you.
In response to question about sedition:" I can't answer your question directly but found these pretty interesting."
Advice to thief on how to avoid jail: "There's a criminal defense attorney over here, though, that might tell you how to avoid jail and extradiction [sic], so do stick around for additional answers."
Response to kid wondering whether the parents can get charged for kid's marijuana in their house: "Were these people drifters and living in a shack on your property or something? You might explain what happened and what the connection is so someone here might get a clearer picture?"
In response to question how much time person is facing in FL for 2 counts of battery w/ deadly weapon: "Ok -- here's my "legal" take (the other was my personal opinion!) You need an attorney for the criminal charges. If you can't afford one, one will be appointed. Listen to your attorney."
Whether visitor who is on probation can validly consent to search of host’s home in host’s absence: "If the person on probation gave them consent -- yes, they can."
Response to person asking about a parole search of someone who is no longer on parole: “If he's a parolee, no weapons allowed. If he's a parolee, he's subject to search at any time, also. If he's a parolee, no luck fighting this one, and back to the can he goes. If he's not a parolee, he'll need one good defense attorney.”
At least IAAL is a lawyer of obvious, though misguided, intelligence, who would be capable of giving good legal advice if he had an ounce of compassion and didn’t prefer kicking and mocking people who are less privileged, gifted, and fortunate than himself and, for whatever reason, have strayed down the wrong path. However, I have yet to see Hmbrdizzy give correct, or useful legal advice - anybody can say I don’t know and hunt down some urls. People who think they “know something” about law but don’t know s--- like Hmbrdzzm are the reason the state requires people to be licensed by the bar before they can dispense legal advice.
Since you, Hmbbddz, have chosen to practice without the benefit of an education in law, and since IAAL after 23 years seems to need a refresher in professional responsibility, here is a URL to a New York State Bar article which explains why criminal defense attorneys defend guilty sleazebags and how their job is necessary to the functioning of the adversary system:

You’re right IAAL, you are more likely to see myself and Mr. Atty at Bing Wong’s Take Out than at Boulevard (of course, I am in the Bay Area, being the liberal that I am), and I will be happy when I can move out of my rental unit into my one-step-above-the ghetto-housing. But we don’t stint on the sushi, and I wear a suit but a handful of times a year, I no longer have to deal with subordinates, I have almost no stress, and my job is recession-proof. I gave up all, well, most of, my venom and mellowed out. To each their own. “Defense counsel is the professional representative of the accused, not the accused’s alter ego.” I hate molesters as much as the next person. Why can't we all just get along?
calatty said:You don't even understand insults directed at you. No, those were examples of why you are deluded when you think you "know something" or that your advice is helpful. The reason it is "beyond your comprehension" why criminal defense attorneys do what they do, apart from the fact that you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is that you have not bothered to educate yourself on the matter. I defy you to find one occasion on which I extolled the virtues of a molester or expressed my approval of mayhem. One can give a client a professional opinion regarding the consequences of their actions without personally approving the actions. State-appointed criminal defense attorneys do not pick and choose among criminals based on their relative virtues. That would leave people without any representation at all, and -- if you educate yourself a little on the matter, instead of thinking you know something without the benefit of an education, presumably because you are innately wise -- that is not the American way of justice.

If these hostilities directed at calatty are because of the responses to "Fly_mj" in December, 2002. I have to agree with calatty. The people who actually witnessed the events are the people who should call the police or Child Protective Services. It would not be appropriate for the Police or Child Protective Services to respond on what somebody told Fly_mj. If the justice system worked in that manner, don't like your neighbor call the police say they did something illegal, provide no evidence. Poof, life sentence. Please note nowhere in the post does Fly_mj say the brother-in-law actually molested any child. Please note also that Fly_mj has major problems with his brother-in-law... read his other post. sounds fishy to me! (besides if I KNEW my brother in law was molesting children I'd make sure he was answering to his crimes. I'd try legal remedies first, but when all else fails...).

AmosMoses, why are you jumpin' on this bandwagon. calatty does not have to answer your question, As I write this neither did IAAL. I will. Generally speaking, post conviction relief applies to those who were convicted and are serving time in jail and there is evidence (e.g. DNA) that exonerates them.

hmmbrdzz, Opinion is the death of knowledge. I've seen you spout off about liberal this or liberal that. We are on the WORLD WIDE WEB, do me a favor read/listen/see something other than mainstream press. You have access to many news sources. Conservative and liberal. You can start by reading the article on the NY City Jogger Rape. Then move on to current events: the War (invasion of) on Iraq. Read the letter from Rumsfield (et al) to Clinton in 1998, found on conservative press and move on from there. Perhaps it will keep you from spouting other sh*t you know nothing about. How I miss DRN.

Homeguru, you've missed your calling. Your wit is astoundingNow if you would only pull your head outta IAAL azz.

IAAL, I wish I could say something nasty about you but I can't (really). After reading some of your more informative responses, I think I better understand and appreciate your views, I may sometimes disagree with them, none the less... I do think you've misunderstood calatty response to the Fly_mj thread. I have a request, can you pull those heads (your fan club) from your azz, I know it must be uncomfortable.
___
calatty, I really do appreciate your being here, I have much gratitude for your responses. We are not all here because we are in trouble legally. I'm here to learn from informed responses.

My response:
Oh, bull s h i t !
That's a typical "cockroach" statement.
I've always understood you! I know and understand Constitutional law as much, or more, than you do. But, what I could never "understand" was your ultra liberal approach, and the way defense tactics would "trip off your fingers" to your keyboard, to assist even the most vile of our society. Thank goodness you're not on any Appellate bench because if it were up to you, the prisons would be emptied out.
You know, it's one thing to "practice" from an office. But, it's a whole other matter to "search out" those *******s on the Internet, and these forums, to spread your liberal view on life - - it's almost as if you're giving them permission and hope - - permission to "do it" again. Remember the writer who had a question about "three strikes"? You came in on that thread and, in effect, instructed and advised that he didn't have to worry about 3 strikes - - when I was trying to keep him from committed another crime! That's what I mean, Cockroach!
It's one thing to be appointed by the court to defend a child molester - - you've got no choice in that regard. But, to actually attempt even a modest form of "defense" by aiding such a felon voluntarily on these forums is a vulgarity.
It's time for you to slither back to wherever you normally slither to.
