		<title>How Cops Think</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scott Greenfield, the New York criminal defense attorney with the Simple Justice blog, provides today two interesting examples of how cops think.  Or don&#8217;t, as the case may be. Fresno County Sheriff Mims provides her own example. The Fresno Bee reports today that Mims has decided to join the growing list of California cops who [...]]]></description>

		<title>234 Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is the Fourth of July.  Independence Day. We often think of it as America&#8217;s Birthday.  But it is not really the Birthday of the United States; it is closer to the birthday of the colonial confederation that would give rise to the the &#8220;United States&#8221; of the Articles of Confederation in 1781 and to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Scarlet Letter &amp; Other Tales Of Woe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of days ago over at Probable Cause: The Legal Blog with the Really Low Standard of Review, I alluded to the fact that ideas for blogging come to me faster than I am able to keep up. Although I don&#8217;t get nearly enough time to write, I&#8217;m constantly sending myself email messages from [...]]]></description>

		<title>The War on Rights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;m sure you noticed that this place you&#8217;ve arrived at is known as &#8220;Fresno Criminal Defense.&#8221;  So I&#8217;m also sure you&#8217;re not expecting me to write about the War in Iraq, or Afghanistan, nor will I &#8212; as I did yesterday &#8212; have anything to say about the Mexican-American War, although actually all those [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Modern Professional Police Force</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Four years ago, Justice Scalia of the United States Supreme Court laughingly suggested that &#8220;the increasing professionalism of police forces&#8221; meant that the deterrent effect of the Exclusionary Rule the courts had previously applied to violations of constitutional rights, particularly the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures, was not really necessary anymore. (See [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Jury of His Pears</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, that&#8217;s not a typo in the title. I&#8217;m paying homage to the Fresno Bee&#8217;s latest story about &#8220;juror misconduct.&#8221; Frankly, I&#8217;m grateful that Pablo Lopez is a Fresno Bee reporter, and not a judge, lawyer, or juror on any of the cases about which he reports. You may recall that yesterday, I blogged about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Judge Oppliger: Living the Nightmare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I struggled, picking the title for this article, briefly considering &#8220;Much Ado About Nothing.&#8221;  Then I decided to play off a quote from the story itself. But before I start, I want to offer a shout-out to a new blogger. So far as I know, he becomes the second law-focused blogger (after me) in Fresno.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slashbucklers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, the Fresno Bee reported that the &#8220;S.F. crime lab [was] overwhelmed.&#8221;  (Terry Collins, &#8220;S.F. Crime lab overwhelmed&#8221; (March 31, 2010) Fresno Bee, p. A9.)  The link, by the way, provides the same story as the print version, but dated a day earlier and with a different title. A couple of days ago, the Visalia [...]]]></description>

		<title>Exoneration by Association</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Letter to the Editor of the Fresno Bee finally forces me to write a post I&#8217;ve been deliberately avoiding for at least two weeks now.  It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t want to talk about the problem the letter addresses.  It&#8217;s that the case the writer addresses is, to my understanding, still wending its way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Complexity, Simplicity, and the Quest for Perfection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay. I don&#8217;t know how this is going to turn out, but some days ago, I promised that I would elucidate my comment about complexity, simplicity, and the quest for perfection.  At the time, I alluded to its being connected with how I became a criminal defense lawyer, which is what the post from the [...]]]></description>
