Houston-based criminal defense lawyer Mark Bennett writes a remarkably interesting blog that I discovered courtesy of Gilman’s Blawgraphy . Bennett is part of a husband and wife criminal defense team (I hate to think what happens in that household when someone doesn’t take out the trash!) and through his blog chimes in on the world of Criminal Defense.
Bennett (Mr.) posted on the need and use of Plain English which is one of the most refreshing things I’ve read in a long time. His blog goes up on my wall of shame/fame (i.e. BlogRoll) and should be added to your daily dose of legal fiber.
Bennett claims to be a radical too. If we all could learn to be. If only just a little.

My defenses:
a. There was no trash.
b. There may have been trash, but it did not need to be taken out.
c. You can’t prove that I didn’t take the trash out.
d. Even if you can prove it, it was necessary not to take it out to prevent a greater harm.
e. I was coerced.
f. My conduct was involuntary.
g. I was insane.
Mark.
p.s. Legal fiber? I like to think my blog is packed with proteiny legal goodness!
