The Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration's Covid-related eviction moratorium on Thursday, 8/26/21 (apologies for the references in the video to “today’s” Supreme Court decision - it took me longer to finish this than I hoped).  Also, Thought Slime is non-binary, which I forgot at the time of recording, and I reflexively used he/him pronouns. I believe I once heard Thought Slime say they don’t mind he/him pronouns, so hopefully not too much offense is taken. I do apologize anyway.  BTW: Regarding the status of the third Chauvin Chunk, I am going to delay that until the case enters a more active phase since there seems to be very little interest in that content at the moment.  News video clip from CBS: https://youtu.be/0XLNyjuAWCE Thought Slime Landlord Series:  https://youtu.be/g2EWQ4v9wbA https://youtu.be/TBOxrHdTKE0 https://youtu.be/7kn08azqUSU Scaredy Cats channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdX6lI1cnIaznkmokdxJQ2Q Millennium Mike response video: https://youtu.be/z-Mt--HZ4sA Sources:  https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/26/politics/supreme-court-eviction-moratorium/index.html  https://www.ramseysolutions.com/retirement/how-many-millionaires-actually-inherited-their-wealth  https://www.ramseysolutions.com/retirement/the-national-study-of-millionaires-research  https://ips-dc.org/the_self-made_hallucination_of_americas_rich/ Learn about becoming a Habeas Humor patron at www.patreon.com/habehumor Make a one-time contribution to Habeas Humor at buymeacoffee.com/habeas Subscribe to Habeas Humor on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/sms5hb.c Subscribe on Stitcher:   https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/habeas-humor Twitter/Instagram: @habeashumor Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/habhumor/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/habeashumor/ Email: HabeHumor@gmail.com Please note that this podcast is for entertainment only and does not constitute legal advice or form an attorney-client relationship.

Here's what's new in the trial of Derek Chauvin: the prosecution protests part of the judge's sentencing order due to the appearance of racial bias against the child witnesses; and the press seeks immediate disclosure of the jurors' identities.  Links: Main case site: https://mncourts.gov/media/StateofMinnesotavDerekChauvin State Letter Brief in Support of Motion to Amend Sentencing Memorandum: https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/MCRO_27-CR-20-12646_Correspondence-for-Judicial-Approval_2021-07-07_20210708080539.pdf Court Sentencing Memorandum: https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/MCRO_27-CR-20-12646_Sentencing-Order_2021-06-25_20210625145755.pdf Statement by Dr. Sarah Vinson: https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/MCRO_27-CR-20-12646_Other-Document_2021-07-07_20210708080542.pdf Judge Opinion Denying Motion to Amend Sentencing Memorandum: https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/Order07132021.pdf Press Motion to Release Juror Identities: https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/MCRO_27-CR-20-12646_Memorandum_2021-08-04_20210804141553.pdf Affidavit of Suki Dardarian: https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/MCRO_27-CR-20-12646_Affidavit-Other_2021-08-04_20210804141550.pdf State Letter Brief in Opposition to Press Motion to Release Juror Identities: https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/27-CR-20-12646/Memorandum.pdf Articles Cited By Prosecution: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26371193/ https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1964-03472-001 https://www.law.georgetown.edu/poverty-inequality-center/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2017/08/girlhood-interrupted.pdf https://www.law.georgetown.edu/poverty-inequality-center/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2019/05/Listening-to-Black-Women-and-Girls.pdf https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31295177/ Video Clips: https://youtu.be/kWHj4LzMiak https://youtu.be/GG1GB7bZkI8 https://youtu.be/Apuhj_G90QQ https://youtu.be/Y5rxe-tRYkQ https://youtu.be/tHcdTbhkcyM https://youtu.be/-S7RJxFau84 https://youtu.be/_0olbpl6490 Learn about becoming a Habeas Humor patron at www.patreon.com/habehumor Make a one-time contribution to Habeas Humor at buymeacoffee.com/habeas Subscribe to Habeas Humor on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/sms5hb.c Subscribe on Stitcher:  https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/habeas-humor Twitter/Instagram: @habeashumor Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/habhumor/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/habeashumor/ Email: HabeHumor@gmail.com Please note that this podcast is for entertainment only and does not constitute legal advice or form an attorney-client relationship.

Derek Chauvin Trial Update (Chauvin Chunks #2)

I have been live-solving the NYT crosswords and posting the vids to YouTube. I decided to link them to Patreon for the benefit of all the wonderful Habeas Humor patrons. On today's puzzle, I got a bunch of help from Yara, and we made excellent time on this puzzle! It's even tight enough to be a bonus episode of the HH podcast. To see the solution, go here: https://youtu.be/hopiQj-NMt4

 June 25 is the scheduled sentencing hearing for Derek Chauvin, the police officer who was convicted in a Minnesota court of the murder of George Floyd. The prosecution is seeking a 30 year sentence, and the defense is seeking probation. In this video, a real lawyer explains why the overwhelming likelihood is that Chauvin will be sentenced to serve between 15 and 20 years in prison. This is the first of Habeas Humor's "Chauvin Chunks" miniseries.   Please note: federal charges are also pending against Derek Chauvin for both the George Floyd killing and a prior incident of alleged police brutality. If convicted in federal court, Chauvin could face life in prison or even the death penalty.     Learn about becoming a Habeas Humor patron at www.patreon.com/habehumor   Make a one-time contribution to Habeas Humor at buymeacoffee.com/habeas   Subscribe to Habeas Humor on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/sms5hb.c   Subscribe on Stitcher:  https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/habeas-humor   Twitter/Instagram: @habeashumor   Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/habhumor/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/habeashumor/   Email: HabeHumor@gmail.com     This podcast is for entertainment only and does not constitute legal advice or form an attorney-client relationship.
