By Gideon

I can has cheezburger?

Or wine with your dine. Or “if the trytophan won’t get you, these links sure will”.

• Sex offenders in CT still have no place to go. It’s Norm Pattis’ turn to rant against this.
• A Michigan prosecutor is complaining about lack of funding. Maybe someone should teach him how to count.
• Another prosecutor does some shady stuff, a Court has the stuffing to reject immunity, and now the prosecutor wants SCOTUS to intervene.
• Don Pesci takes a look at Hartford’s community court, which I wrote about almost exactly a year ago.
• Proud to go to jail for housing the homeless (via).
• Corporal punishment using reasonable physical force for maintaining discipline is a defense [pdf] to the amorphous Risk of Injury.
• Ryan McKeen tells us about “CT’s Great Turkey Case” in honor of Turkey Law Week.
• Dave Chappelle on the age of consent and stuff.
• Foreperson prevents juror from informing judge that they couldn’t reach a verdict. Court finds no problem with it.
• Maybe the tryptophan got to them already: Obama late in issuing first pardon and SCOTUS is late in issuing first opinion.
• CDW’s weekly edition is out.

Bonus for finding the hidden link.
