Hey Legal Eagle, I'm a little confused about this Carlson interview with Gaetz. If Gaets publicly revealed that his dad was wearing a wire, wouldn't Gaetz be interfering with an investigation?

Objection to your last video on Sydeny Powell at no point did she say anything about the ghost of Hugo Chevez . She talking about the history of diminon developed in 2002 and Hugo Chevez died in 2013 if Venezuela had meddled in the election. It would be a successer. No reasonable person would interpret what she said as the ghost of Hugo Chevez. In fact that problem was true context of defense no response person would believe she was talking about the ghost of Hugo Chevez

OMG the "Attractive Nuisance" is the heart of one of my favorite stories from my childhood. I was about 3-4 years old living in a tiny town in Wyoming. I was outside playing one day, and I decided I really wanted a lollipop. Where's the best place to get one? The bank, of course! So teeny little me toddled through town with my faithful dog Shadow in tow, and somehow nobody stopped to question why a toddler was walking along the street with just a dog to protect her. I will grant that the town was/is small enough my dad describes it as being a mile wide, but you'd still think the sight would turn some heads. I did make it safely to the bank, and I got my lollipop. Only then did someone think to call the police. Meanwhile, my dad came out to check on me, found no sign of me, and began to panic, especially since I left my favorite tricycle behind. He hopped on his bike to search for me, and began scouring the streets for any sign of me or Shadow. He came home around the same time the police arrived with Shadow and I in one of their cars. They told my dad what happened, and that Shadow wouldn't let anyone near me until I said it was ok, and only then did we get in the car with the nice police. I wasn't in any trouble, since dad was just relieved I wasn't hurt, and Shadow was definitely spoiled for making sure I was safe.

Apparently "death recorded" came to mean "not executed" by way of "this crime requires me to pronounce the death penalty, so I will, but I will not carry it out as that is at my discretion as a judge - death is only recorded, but not carried out." The Judgement of Death Act of 1832 gave judges discretion to commute death penalties for all crimes except treason and murder - effectively (though importantly, not legally) abolishing the death penalty for most crimes.

Lol never heard that one. There was a movie (Double Jeopardy??) where a woman was convicted of murdering her husband. He then showed up alive, and the premise of the movie was that she could kill him, since she had already been convicted and she couldn't be tried again for the same crime. Lol, it wouldn't have been the same crime, obviously. Bad, and really stupid, misunderstanding of the law.

@@dingle2987 That's more on lawmakers. LegalEagle can correct me if I'm wrong here. But last I checked Pro-Bono (state-appointed) work is *significantly* underpaid. A laywer can't remember every line of every law in the book, so that means hiring at least one paralegal to look that information up (20+ an hour job, and they can only do so much research in a day, hence, more then one of them). Experts to dispute the Prosecution's evidence or methodology? That's not even remotely free. So what you end up getting are the fresh-out-of-law-school lawyers taking on the pro-bono cases so the senior guys can go keep the lights on. Poverty doesn't get you into jail so much as being wealthy lets you get out of it. A goor part of why you see rich people avoiding jail is prosecutors deciding not to charge people in the first place...

I could definitely see why the law about “unborn widows” is a thing. It’s rare, but there’s plenty of examples through history of people marrying people way younger than they are. Imagine some 20 year old signs a contract and at 70 marries a 50 year old. That’d be odd, but not even taboo socially, so the law needs to account for that being a possibility.

Those all also regard family relations as legalities, an 80-year-old likely won't have biological children but something like adoption and other cases can make someone new their child in the eyes of the law.

Legal documents usually ought to be water tight, that requiring taking into account all possibilities regardless how improbable.

There's a legal phrased which I found somewhat amusing when I heard it, and yet I also appreciated it just because it sounds so discreet. The term came up in a divorce case, where the husband sued the wife for "constructive abandonment".

I remember Frolic and Detour coming up in a class at trade school, since accidents on your way to work and or back home from work are considered workplace accidents in Germany. If I make a stop at a store on my way home and slip and break an arm inside the store, that would not be a work accident. But I don't remember what happens when I leave the store, continue on my way home, and then have a road accident.

The amount of Latin and Greek in most professions is huge. The older the profession, the more Latin/Greek you find. Law and medicine have been around since classical times and therefore have the most Greek and Latin of the professions while computing and engineering tend to have a lot less Latin and a lot more Monty Python.

A good argument to not translate things to modern languages is also that Latin is no longer used so the meaning of words won't change. While some English words for example could have a tiny shift in meaning because of how they are used and that has consequences if it's used to describe law things because it could change the interpretation of laws.

The reason they use Latin is to avoid words being misinterpreted Latin is a fairly fixed language. When it is a two word legal term with and in the middle say assault and battery it comes from the Norman invasion one one word is old English and the other French-Norman again so whether you spoke English or French there was no debating the charge.

I've always liked "expressio unius est exclusio alterius" It sounds like a Harry Potter spell but means "the expression of one is to the exclusion of all others" and is why contracts with lists have the line "but not limited to" and is also why we have the 9th amendment in the Bill of Rights!
@InventorZahran2 жыл бұрын
If I just say "including", that doesn't specify whether the subsequently listed items are the only things included, or just examples of what could be included. Expressio unius est exclusio alterius clarifies that anything not listed is presumed to be excluded, unless a statement like "not limited to" is made. Language is fascinating...
