Why? Because Sussman’s arguments center around Durham’s conduct. And if any of the allegations are true —then Durham should be fired and referred to his State Bar. You can’t play dirty as a prosecutor
I'm just starting to read this, but had to comment first, because I know that YOU would appreciate both the insanity and hilarity of what I just witnessed. Even my husband walked by and was like, ""WTAF?!" My hearing that just ended, the defendant, I have never seen it quite THIS bad, was contentious and screaming at their lawyer from the start, and it was a REALLY nice lady who was earnestly trying to help them, and was having to say things like, "You need to use your words," like they were a toddler, to explain to them that they need to speak for the official court record and recording, when she would ask them to explain something in detail, and they would scream at her and say, "You already know all this! Why are you asking?!"....and no, there is no low functioning present.....just good old arseholery.

Thank you ♥️
I really appreciate your research and insights.
Looks like there’s now a Monday deadline hearing for Durham’s response to Judge Cooper. Per this thread;

Overlapping arguments--geez. Seems like Durham stuck his neck out and it could go either way. Got MON on the calendar...
Thank you for this! Definitely looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
This is an interesting development. Looking forward to some azz-whipping on Monday 🤣
Thanks for breaking it down 💙
