gotta keep it quick tonight, as our profs seem to have gone a bit overboard with the work load as of late...

one good thing to come out of the legal writing assignment is that now have some practical legal knowledge as to how to keep any confessions i make under police interrogation from being admitted in a trial.

• stay in the interrogation room for as long as possible without any breaks for food or sleep.
• don't remind anyone to read me my rights.
• do everything in my power to get the cops to keep me uncomfortably in handcuffs. the best case scenario would be to have the cops rough me up a little bit.
• take everything they say as a threat; cry often and act constantly distraught.
• only confess after seeming to misconstrue something they say as a promise for leniency.

looks like somebody got his learn on!

it's been a tough week, but at least we can all look forward to the 50 pages of torts sebok assigned for friday's class! i average about 8 pages / hour in that book, so it should be a fun thursday night. speaking of big T, i'd like some more details from the anonymous poster who saw him stumbling out of a bar w/ two ladies... (not that i buy it, but i'll suspend my disbelief for such a seemingly fun fiction)

back to work for now...

peace and chicken grease,
