the tao of criminal-defense trial lawyering

If You Come See Bennett & Bennett . . .

. . . do not wear a hoodie.

Someone just walked past the front of the home office wearing a dark hoodie, and both dogs (ROUSs — Ridgebacks of Unusual Size) went absolutely insane.

Rhodesian Ridgebacks are excellent judges of character (else they wouldn’t be welcome in the office); in their view, apparently, trustworthy people simply do not wear hoodies.

  1. A Harris County Lawyer says:

    Hmm. Maybe you should have one of the dogs sit second chair with you during voir dire.

  2. Colin says:

    I don’t get it. you live in texas. isn’t it like 122 degrees every day of the year? who needs a hoodie?

  3. Kevin Whited says:

    Hmm, Bill Belichick wears a hoodie…

  4. A Harris County Lawyer says:

    I think that’s his point.

    Wearing a hoodie in Texas might be number #1 on the list of “You might be about to be robbed if . . .”

  5. Colin says:

    fairly put, but if wearing a hoodie is clear evidence of intent to rob then shouldn’t every red-blooded texan whip out his shootin’ iron and blast any pre-offender walking down the street wearing one? you might reasonably make the case for self-defense on the grounds that the wearing of hoodies is an assault.

  6. Ron in Houston says:

    Hmmm, were those hoodie wearing people minorities?

    Call the Chronicle – Mark Bennett may have racist dogs.

  7. Scott Greenfield says:

    Bennett’s doing hoodie dog posts now? Is there nothing at all happening in Harris County?
