Group-<br>
<br>
I have asked in several kind ways to be removed from this list. None of the requests have had any apparent impact. I know several of you on the "list-serve" and you will find my engagement humorous because you know me. At any rate, and from this point forward,
any email I receive from this distribution list will be responded to "Reply To All.". It will contain completely annoying queries and things that are completely non sequitur to your practice. That is because of the following:<br>
<br>
1). I am a criminal defense attorney who handles some pretty "serious biz" in state and federal court. A good example would be death penalty cases and large scale federal narcotics conspiracies. These do not involve lien laws and things that are within your
normal banter.<br>
<br>
2). I have thrice asked to be removed from this list. Included in those communications has been the fact that my dad practices in the construction law realm, but I cannot receive emails on his behalf. I have a thriving practice of my own and cannot take responsibility
for forwarding emails to him.<br>
<br>
3). The stop-gap measure of "send it to a specified folder in your email" is unacceptable. I do not need the emails in the first instance. Thus, I don't need to deal with this.<br>
<br>
4). I completely hate being a "horse's ass," but expecting me to enjoy 50 emails a day is insane!<br>
<br>
5). Given the foregoing, I am going to ask all of you to remove me from your "string."<br>
<br>
6). In the absence of your removal of my email address, I would love for a few people to help me out on an evidentiary question on the admissibility of my client's self serving hearsay statements when he/she spoke with the cops. There is some great case law
out there which seems to indicate that I may be able to get it in under the "Rule of Completeness" and/or the "Best Evidence Rule" if the cop attributes inculpatory statements to my client. And, if you really care, it is an "in car video" from the patrol car
that helps to prove my client's case. <br>
<br>
So, I am going to look forward to a bunch of feedback or just simply being removed from EVERYONE's distribution list.<br>
<br>
This is insane!!!!<br>
