Non-Sequiturs: 04.12.12

* Public defender arrested for allegedly stealing Red Bull. Well, that’s what happens when you place the backbone of our criminal justice system on a bunch of overworked, underpaid employees. Occasionally, they turn to a life of “Jesus I’m deliriously tired and unimaginably broke at the same time.” [Loudoun Times] * It’s tax season. You need some tips, so I deducted my Star Wars home desktop… I mean my small business computer. [Going Concern] * The Cuban American Bar Association is dropping its association with the Florida Marlins because of Ozzie Guillen’s pro-Castro comments. I get it, but like every other Mets fan, I wish my team had directly invested money with Fidel Castro instead of Bernie Madoff. [Daily Business Review] * I like how at the start of every new baseball season, somebody comes up with another way of expressing how problematic the judges/umpires analogy is. [Election Law Blog] * It’s amazing that our entire system of justice can so easily be flummoxed by Twitter. [Legal Blog Watch] * Attorney is ranked as the 87th best job in 2012, but if you’d rather be an attorney than a funeral director (#90) you clearly have never had to deal with a client you only wished was dead. [Wall Street Journal] * I see the four women who have been on the Supreme Court. Mitt Romney probably sees an interest group. [Huffington Post]
