As readers of this blog are aware, one of my pet peeves is the public’s blind trust in the little metal boxes that analyze a DUI suspect’s breath and spit out a number that supposedly represents the amount of alcohol in his blood. The simple, scientifically proven fact is that a

Over the past decade, Buddhism, Taoism, and Greek and Roman wisdom are all being scientifically validated. Probably there is little reason to read past Marcus Aurelius'

CrimLaw - http://crimlaw.blogspot.comSorry, Ladies & Gentlemen, but I'm going back to "short" rss feeds. I know it makes things less convenient for those of you using aggregators, but I just did a quick search around the interweb and it's gotten pretty obvious that a number of sites are

Since I've been posting on this blawg, I've gotten a lot of email press releases. Politicians, publishers, think tanks, and people who want the world to know about something that has piqued their ire all seem to think it to be important that I know certain things. So, I can't say I was surprised ...

So, I'm breaking down all the cases from the last month to put them in Virginia Criminal Cases & Law and I think I'm pretty close to the end. I've only got two cases left to figure out and think that it'll probably take a couple hours. Nope

I wrote a couple of months ago about a growing number of false blood-alcohol tests that had been discovered in the Colorado Springs Metro Crime Lab. At the time, about 1,000 tests were suspect, of which 82 had been confirmed as being falsely high. See

I have worked at a junk yard and detasseled corn. I know something of the "working man." I made many sacrifices and worked very hard so that I would not end up like the working man. Indeed, my father and I got into a huge argument when I was young: He made

Some guy who has a so-so blog and has been blogging for all of a few months has decided that blogging culture must change. This cultural shift, coincidentally, totally overlaps with his personal interests.
In a perfectly sensible post, Scott Greenfeld noted that

The Virginia State Bar has made a spectacularly stupid idea officially unethical: you can no longer sleep with your client.

A bunch of corrupt and/or incompetent police and prosecutors had an innocent man sent to prison to rot for over a decade. John Grisham wrote a book about the police and prosecutors. What do you suppose happened?Did Scalia's new police professionals reflect on how they sent an

As anyone who has been reading my blawg for a while knows, I have been keen on the idea of a workable tablet which could be carried to court instead of files. This is particularly of interest because both the Clerk of our Circuit Court and my boss are trying to get us to the point that paper isn't ...
