Op-ed | Effective questioning of witnesses requires competence and preparation, not stupidity and arrogance | amNewYork (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Good trial attorneys know that effective interrogation of an adverse witness requires careful preparation. The lawyer must learn everything possible about the witness’s background, connection to the case, statements the witness may have made about the case, and any reason the witness might have to lie. The lawyer has lots of resources to investigate witnesses, including subpoenas, discovery statutes, depositions, and the internet. It could be malpractice for a lawyer to question a witness withou
Op-ed | Requiem for the Kennedy Center, and everlasting shame on Donald Trump | amNewYork (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump’s commitment to art, philanthropy, and charity is as pure and enduring as Jeffrey Epstein’s commitment to the spiritual and physical well-being of young women. Trump, a rich kid from Queens, was an obnoxious bully growing up. His parents had to send him to military school to control his impulsivity. He learned from his dad how to be a shark in business.

Although data is limited as to how many of the nation’s almost 700,000 police officers in almost 18,000 police departments have wandered, watchdog groups like the Invisible Institute in Chicago have developed cross-jurisdictional resources such as the National Police Index to aggregate career histories of pol
Op-ed | Trump’s hypocritical rhetoric on socialism and communism | amNewYork (opens the original)
Read excerpt
President Trump wants to scourge the Democrats as socialists, even communists. In fact, given the recent successful campaigns of democratic socialists, Trump is trying to conflate socialism with communism. He thinks that’s the best strategy to keep Republican control of Congress. Given the weakening economy, the Iran war, and Trump’s dismal ratings, making socialism and communism the rallying cry may be the only Republican gambit that’s left. Trump’s bumbling and bloviating about communism is no
