This is SOOOOO egregious! As I have noted many times before, I am not a cheerleader for Team Sussman, I am team functioning and earnest court hearings and cases, and this has been a shambles, and a politically targeted embarrassment, that I will never understand 'why' Durham decided to flame throw his reputation at the end of his career like this. Reading all of this quite literally makes me furious, and with the side perspective of an expert, WTAF?!!!! That has nothing to do with 'this case,' it is 'kitchen sink,' and I can't imagine the ALJ allowing it, because it has nothing to with the ACTUAL charges! On this, there is NO wiggle room, you can't/should not be able to bring in expert testimony to argue the veracity or opinion of an issue that is no charged or on the table at all, it is not even for 'pizzazz,' it is not even prejudicial, it would be allowing in non-charged offenses as theories of the case, which is SO FAR outside the bounds, first year law students would not attempt it.

Just a side note from me...remember that confirmation hearing where Kennedy asked an unqualified judgeship candidate whether he knew what a motion in limine was? And the guy didn't? And then Kennedy voted to confirm him anyway? 😐😡

I am certainly not a legal eagle, but, it sure sounds like Durham should be disbarred. Wow.

Please do not worry about publishing your articles. You worry about you. Please take care of yourself.
