		<title>Love of justice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is something I have been thinking on for a while, but Laura McWilliams prompted me to post it with her Love of the Law, part 2 post. I went into law school with a gut feeling that I could never defend criminals, and that if I went into Criminal Law it would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scott Greenfield</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is Scott Greenfield Day. I know it is because the blawgers I enjoy following have told me it is. I have quoted Mr. Greenfield extensively (or what counts as extensively for this blog) here, and it’s not a coincidence. It’s also not a coincidence that he is one of the main reasons I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>One man’s anal retentiveness is another man’s freedom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my Maryland Criminal Practice class this evening, the professor mentioned an unreported opinion of the MD Court of Special Appeals that was issued on Tuesday, May 24th. Parenthetically, this is an incredibly interesting and seemingly practical class that is taught by Judge Dana Levitz, a former State’s Attorney and head of the trial division [...]]]></description>

		<title>Think of the children!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sex offence is a treacherous subject. As a father, I am gripped by the slight nausea and immediate gut-reaction of wanting to hurt someone who hurts children. I’m okay with that. Child rapists are among the lowest of the low; that’s not something I will change my mind about. I feel similarly, if less viscerally, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sentencing anarchy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sentencing is hard. I know, it’s an incredibly difficult line to toe; trying to balance public safety, public opinion, victims’ expectations, deterrence, rehabilitation and equity. How much deference is due to any of those factors? When politicians decide to get involved in the sentencing, it muddies up the already murky pool. There are some things, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hank Skinner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I submitted my request at http://www.governor.state.tx. us/contact/ I am weighing in on the impending Hank Skinner execution. I believe it would be a shame to allow this to go forward for two main reasons. The first reason is one of justice. If there remains untested evidence that may exculpate Mr. Skinner, not allowing it to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Abbot v. MD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over a year ago, I helped a local attorney on a criminal appellate case. I did some legal research and helped draft the arguments for the client’s appeal to the MD Court of Special Appeals. In October, I sat in the courtroom after meeting the client and listened to oral arguments on the case. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on Maryland v. Shatzer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Supreme Court recently ruled that there is a 14 day time limit to a defendant’s Miranda rights. Scott Greenfield has written about it, as has Orin Kerr. The court states that: It seems to us that period is 14 days. That provides plenty of time for the suspect to get reacclimated to his normal [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wreaths over water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scott Greenfield over at Simple Justice posted today about the custom of laying wreaths on the graves of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, thanks to a program called Wreaths Across America. Scott also introduced the new program called Wreaths Over the Water that was started this year in Florida. The [...]]]></description>
