"The plot of an Alafair Burke thriller doesn't just rip from the headlines. She's one step ahead of them. 212 scares you and keeps you turning the pages into the wee hours." — Harlan Coben Read More> Follow Alafair on:

Blog Professor Burke heads to Beantown Thursday, September 11, 2008 I rarely mention my professorial life here, but as soon as my criminal law class ends tonight, I'm flying to Beantown for an academic conference at Boston University Law School, where I'll be presenting this paper about a prosecutor's obligation to disclose evidence to the defense. I may not blog over the weekend, so here are some oddball websites you can play with in my absence: Jellotime, squirrels in outfits, Christian Bale as Kermit the Frog, Talking Pets, and the always classes Subservient Chicken. What whackadoo stuff have you found on the net? (And, please, don't make me regret asking this question. Nothing X-rated!!!) posted by Alafair Burke at 5:12 AM 1 Comments:  Terry said... I never liked the systems by which evidence gets allowed or excluded from trial (starting with the exclusionary rule itself). Always felt it turned the trial into more of a game between lawyers rather than a truth seeking forum. Then again, all the rules are written by lawyers mostly for lawyers or is that too cynical? P.S. a cynic is one who, upon seeing flowers, looks around for the grave.
