098 United States v. Teeter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At one point a few years ago, I found myself in the position of having to describe a creepy man to local police who responded to my non-emergency line call with three marked cars and an unmarked vehicle. I think I got his general physical description pretty close-his height, build, the fact that he wore glasses. I know I bobbled the description of whatever he was riding, which comes as no surprise. But I know I nailed the description of his outfit and footwear. It still strikes me as insane that
097 United States v. Askins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are very few fact patterns I can see domestic violence taking a back seat to, and yet this case found a way. My interest in this case was two fold. First, I wanted to know how the Army didn't notice that at least 11 blocks of explosives went missing. Second, I wanted to know just how creatively an appellate court could apply the principles of waiver and forfeiture. Unfortunately for all of us, but perhaps most particularly for the inhabitants of Anchorage, I don't really have an explanatio
096 United States v. Ellis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my previous work, I used to visit a lot of family courts for restraining order calendars. During a memorable court appearance, the woman seeking a restraining order asked the judge if she could use her phone to play videos the other party posted on his public Instagram. The judge allowed it and eventually hit play. A lengthy diatribe and threatening language to the judge, court, and judicial process filled the air, prompting the bailiff, a retired Marine, to move behind the respondent just in
095 United States v. Bozicevich (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something specific I like about my current job is that the annual performance review is entirely predictable. We get pretty continuous feedback, so we know where we stand and what that annual review will actually look like. In previous jobs, an annual review was so nerve wracking and I dreaded it every year. Perhaps you suffer from a similar distaste for the process. I can say with confidence that we're all better adjusted and prepared than Sergeant Bozicevich. His Staff Sergeant attempted to co
094 United States v. Bass (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I know you've all heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. For me, that might look like having five separate knitting projects going at any given time, expecting that they'll get finished in a timely manner. Spoiler: they do not, have not, and probably never will. For Gunnery Sergeant Bass, the repeated behavior was or could have been eating whatever gummies his wife handed to him, even after repeatedly failing urinalysis
