Thanks for doing this. I got two questions:

1. What are the dirtiest tactics you've seen prosecutors try to pull off (trying to win off really pedantic technicalities, ignore lots of stuff in literature, time bombing, judge-shopping, making things overly convoluted (especially when cross-examining witnesses), etc.)?

2. How do you successfully fight against these types of things, especially when you feel the judge/jury is leaning towards them and not you?

Too bad you can't even successfully sue judges. They have too much immunity which makes it way too inviting for them to get dirty if you ask me.

The state wanted me to produce irrefutable evidence that the judge had taken a bribe/something from my opponents....if I wanted to appeal further... WTF?

Funnily, everyone seemed to avoid answering why I wasn't allowed to present any evidence while my opponents could stand up on their soapboxes and empty their vocal cords out to their heart's fullest content....

Yeah man, I had that happen to me and I kept appealing. The administrative judge knew she was wrong in what she let them do to me 100% -- I could see it in her eyes, she even didn't let me present my evidence or argue against it. :/

The beef got settled off the books, but it still makes me angry sometimes that the bullshit judge got away with with what she did no reprecussions.
