Your failure to finish the story is ominous...

I haven't actually, but judging from my knowledge of him outside the courtroom, he'd do a kickass Perry Mason.

It is! Although a different courthouse than Kathy frequents.

Building consensus as always! Keep it up, Doug!

Well, there was Katie Simpson's hilarious reaction after the "more than enough to eat at home" press conference... that's gotta count for something.

C'mon, guys, Jude is obviously working hard on something for the benefit of us all. Which, as far as I can tell, is more than the rest of us are doing, including myself. We're sitting around venting on UT. She is clearly trying to take action. She doesn't deserve any criticism for not getting it...

Jonathan Goldsbie ‏@goldsbie · 1m1 minute ago Goldkind to Doug, burn of the week so far: "Nobody knows more about defence attorneys and the need for them than you."

"Less" is the understatement of the century. Ari makes infinitely less than any member of the Ford family.

My 'hood looks like a Palacio sign machine vomited all over it during the night.

I'm sure I heard October 5th. Just not sure where I heard it.

Thank you for saying exactly what I have been thinking.

Agreed. As a card carrying NDPer, I find it impossible to believe ANY Chow supporter would move to a Ford by any first name.

As a defence lawyer I can tell you that is the understatement of the year!

If given the opportunity, Ari would tear Doug to pieces. It would be truly ugly. Man, I hope this happens.

Let's all promise to never, ever speak of this again. Ever.

Another thing that makes the concept more palatable for a lot of people is that if an accused has a competent lawyer, it substantially increases the likelihood that things will be done right the first time around, which lowers the likelihood of a successful appeal. If things aren't done right...

Remember that "defend" doesn't necessarily mean "try to get off". Ari assisted him in pleading guilty to 100 charges in April.

Wasn't there supposed to be a Ford fundraiser last night? Or am I dreaming? If I'm not dreaming, any word on the turnout?

The unicorns are too busy building all the free subways.
