This is the week in which I learned criminal procedure. I should rephrase that. I learned it...kinda...over the last 14 weeks, but as with all law school exams, one does not really learn a subject until the 3-4 days before an exam. (And then again in the two months before the Bar). My general impression is...you're fucked. Really, you shouldn't shoot someone b/c it's most likely going to end up in a plea bargain, which means prison time. Lawyers love the idea of trial work, but really hate going to trial itself, so bonus points for pleas. (Crim Pro 2 at work there). Also, the police will fuck with ya during the investigation, as the Constitution flexibly permits. (Crim Pro 1 there).Morals of the story:
1. I'm tired of criminal procedure, but civil procedure 2 next week is not any more promising.
2. Don't shoot someone, unless you are Divine, in which case you can do whatever the fuck you want to b/c you are just that fabulous. And who would prosecute an icon like Divine? And if you did prosecute Divine, you'd really have to watch your back for John Waters. I feel like he would do something extra creepy if you fucked with Divine. Like drain the blood from your arm, cut it off, laugh at your shoes, feed the arm to nuns, while Divine fucked herself with a fish. Seriously. Don't shoot anyone.
