I was recently waiting in court for a client’s reckless driving charge. I overheard another case that shocked me. A driver was charged with reckless driving by speed. The officer testified to the basics of the case. He clocked the defendant going X speed, it happened in Spotsylvania County, etc. Then the driver’s attorney cross-examined […]

I did not overcharge people to get more money. I overcharged people because they were dicks and deserved it. Vengeance is mine.

Being stuck home on beagle sitting duty today, I decided it was a good day for a documentary double feature.
