Great War Story from a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Samuel Goldberg has a great trial story about two cops who perhaps should’ve taken their jobs a little more seriously.

Speaking of trials, I have also told you that, at times, police officers (like any witnesses) may not find it necessary to limit themselves to the truth.

How dare I?

Let me tell you a little “war story” from my 25 years of trial experience.

Ollie Under The Influence (no, not his real name), was on trial for his 4th drunk driving offense…

The two Commonwealth witnesses were two police officers, whom we will call “Sgt. Sarcasm” and “Police Officer Openminded.”

Sgt Sarcasm was the first witness to testify… He started to show his cockiness with answers like, “Yeah, you could say that.”, as he shrugged his shoulders.

Always watching!
