Every once in awhile some official somewhere is just like… fuck, I don’t get paid enough for this and just moves on. The 1% with a singular success story holds up the entire community.
It’s because the law is wildly complex to a layman. They see magic happening when a lawyer cleverly applies the law and think they can be clever as well. A word or a phrase can make or break a case.
Recent example; NY State charging Luigi with terrorism. People thought the state was tacking on a bullshit charge. Well, kinda. A terrorism charge is the only way state law allows a charge of first-degree murder (in this case).
tl;dr; People see technicalities applied, think they can learn this without going to law school.
How do these morons not cotton on to the fact that not once has any of their nonsense ever worked?

And they always seem so surprised!
