Why Maricopa County Matters
Mark Bennett | December 10, 2009
Scott Greenfield asks: It’s grown tedious hearing about, and writing about, the doings of Crazy Joe in Maricopa. No doubt he has a few more bullets in his gun that will soon whistle through the air. If there’s no one, from the Governor to the United States Attorney to the indicted Chairman of the Board of [...]

Mark Bennett | December 10, 2009
In response to the Houston Police Department’s concerns that the DA’s new policy of not charging <10mg controlled substance cases as felonies, but rather as Class C misdemeanor paraphernalia cases, will result in their not being able to pad their statistics with felonies that require little work result in a rise in the sort of [...]

Meet Your Next Jury Panel
Mark Bennett | December 6, 2009
Jeff Gamso writes about birthers, (political) teabaggers, truthers, Flat-Earthers, alien abductees, and other unshakeable believers in alternate realities (21% of New Jerseyites surveyed weren’t sure that Barack Obama is not the Anti-Christ). What set Jeff off is that Arlington, Tennessee Mayor Russell Wiseman is one of these nutjobs. What sets me off is that lots [...]
New Blog
Mark Bennett | December 3, 2009
I’ve started a new blog, Social Media Tyro (“because the world doesn’t need any more self-professed experts”). I won’t be writing extra posts, but I’ll be putting the social-media related posts (including online advertising and marketing) there instead of here so that I can focus Defending People a little more narrowly.
