today i have to buy a steak of some kind if the store
has them this will be the first steak i've tried to buy
in about a year and a half. we don't eat a lot of meat
here but today was requested to make steak, mushrooms
and onions along with baked potato and sour cream.

no grill here so i'll pan fry it with a little garlic
salt on each side.

if the store has some.

he just was not coming across well to me and his
attitude was fishy and a bit incoherent as well.
the other person had the police officer there and
a lawyer representing them.

the lawyer was straightforward and didn't attempt
any tricks that i could tell (during jury selection).

business loses to theft are not a minor issue in some
locations it can be the make or break between a profit.

to that business owner that loss may be what ends up
having them close up shop. if that happens the state is
out a tax-paying business, plus all the employees out a
job.

while i hate the idea of any society being so hard up
that people have to steal to get food you do have to have
some protections for the owners of businesses otherwise
why bother if people can just steal stuff and not expect
to be punished?

having actual useful welfare systems in place to make
sure people are not hungry may have made the difference
in this case whether or not the guy thought he had to
steal. i'm sure the cost of those programs per person
are much less than what it would cost to keep them in
prison...

First, obtain one slaughtered and dressed-out vegetarian.
Roast over a hot fire until the temperature in the thickest part
of the thigh muscle reaches 180 F or higher.
Defat the pan juices and (if necessary) reduce them to the desired
strength.

You may use carrots, celery, and onion in the usual way to improve
the depth of flavor of the jus.

Slice the meat off the vegetarian and serve with its jus.

Then again this guy may have just been a thief who thought he could get
away with it. Maybe he was hungry and maybe he wasn't. He could have
been stealing that meat to sell for drugs. Even stole the meat to take
to a get-together and appear as the hero who furnished the meat. Some
people steal just to get away with it even if they have money in their
pocket.

It means to "speak the truth." A rather lofty ideal, I'd say.

That's actually a good show! Of course, because 'Bull' (played by
Michael Weatherly, formerly of NCIS) is a jury consultant (that's a real
thing) so the voir dire process is extremely important to the premise.
Gotta try to pick the right jury.

Did you ever see the show 'All Rise'? It's on the same network. I
think it's on right after 'Bull'. A new judge has to deal with all
sorts of different cases. I found it fascinating that they figured out
how to produce an episode of this show after TV production had
practically shut down due to Covid-19. Virtual court! A non-jury
trial. They used Skype or Zoom or something similar to connect
everyone. Split screen. The judge was in her kitchen using a meat
mallet for a gavel. The court clerks, stenographer, lawyers, everyone
was connected online from home or an isolated location. The defendant
somehow managed to have a laptop in front of him so he could participate
from jail. Interesting way to address the current Covid-19 situation.

Note: 'All Rise' is not a reality show and Simone Missick is not a real
judge. It's a TV drama. That episode did make me wonder what has
happened to trials, etc. during this pandemic. Could it be done via
virtual hookup? Until I saw this TV show it really hadn't occurred to
me the criminal courts system must have ground to a halt...

Sounds interesting, I'll have to look for it.

Courts are interesting. Judges have a lot of power over proceedings and
don't take any crap.

Never wanted to be a lawyer but the few times I've gone it has been
interesting. I always went for unemployment disputes. Also went to
traffic court twice. That was funny.

At least some has been done like that for arraignment. Even before,
some immigration hearings were done like that where people were caught
crossing into the US.

I don't think that was Skype or zoom. They probably used the new
service Popeye recently created, called BaZooom!

They did, for minor stuff, and arrests also dropped drastically,
and they also used cameras from jails as much as possible, as well
as moving cases to future dates. Then, president drumpf proclaimed
that the country would re-open, because "this virus will go away on
it's own".

Virus infections spiked sharply. It ain't over yet donnie.

All I learned in civics related to the Constitution, not everyday law. I
dont even remember voir dire from Poly Sci 101. Of interest or not, Dad
was the D.A. while I was growing up, but he never discussed his work with
me.

District Attorney? (Not that I know what that is. The lawyer who
services the whole district?)

Correct. District Attorney.
Government lawyer (group) that prosecutes in criminal trials.
Maybe some civil trials too where local ordinances are broken?
Like a "City of... vs homeowner" trial.

Isn't "Da" a common name for father in parts of the UK?

In my case, our county. Nevada has seventeen of them, although they turned
one of them, Ormsby County, into Carson City some time ago. You can be out
in the sticks, in the middle of nowhere, and be in Carson City. Naturally,
I wasnt for the change.
