Trump’s lawyer could be a godsend for Jack Smith’s obstruction case

It’s been about two months since a lawyer for former President Donald Trump was forced to testify as part of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the handling of classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago. It wasn’t clear at the time why a federal judge opted to approve a “crime fraud exception” to the usual shield of attorney-client privilege and ordered Evan Corcoran to testify. But now we have an inkling — and it’s not an encouraging development if the former president is still hoping to avoid a federal indictment.

This development seems makes for compelling evidence in a possible obstruction

Civil rape case against Donald Trump begins in Manhattan court

E. Jean Carroll’s accusation that Donald Trump raped her was not a “he said, she said” dispute, a lawyer representing the writer said as a civil trial over the former US president’s conduct nearly three decades ago got underway.

Shawn Crowley, who represents the former Elle magazine advice columnist, said during her opening statement on Tuesday that Trump “slammed Ms. Carroll against the wall” and “pressed his lips to hers,” an account that other witnesses were prepared to verify.

“This is not a ‘he said, she said’ case,” Crowley said in federal court in Manhattan.

Even lawyers in the civil rape case against Trump can’t learn jurors’ names

We learned last month that Donald Trump is getting a rare anonymous jury at his upcoming civil trial in the rape and defamation lawsuit brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll. But the former president’s aggressive behavior has continued such that even the lawyers can’t learn those jurors’ names.

It was remarkable enough when Judge Lewis Kaplan decided to treat the impending civil jury like one in a terrorism or organized crime case. In doing so, Kaplan recounted Trump’s whipping up of Jan. 6 rioters and his urging of supporters to “take our country back” in the face of

Definition, Essentials and Duties of Bailor and Bailee under the Indian Contract Act, 1872

Bailment in simple words means delivering goods to a particular person without transfer of ownership. It is a technical word or term in common law although etymologically it means overhanding of goods. Anyone who gets custody without possession is not a bailee.

‘Can you spell lynching?’: lawyer’s shocking note in Texas execution case | Texas

In April 1999, John Balentine, a Black man on trial for murder in Amarillo, Texas, sat before an all-white jury as they deliberated whether he should live or die.

Should he be given a life sentence, in which case he would probably end his days behind prison bars? Or should they send him to death row to await execution?

Balentine had been convicted days earlier of murdering three white teenagers who had threatened to kill him because he was romantically engaged with one of the teenagers’ white sisters – an interracial liaison widely frowned upon in heavily segregated Amarillo. Now
