Whether or not shes “sympathetic,” it’s easy to see her being overly harsh (ie, not neutral), because she thinks that her husband and his colleagues are next. But for 100th time, im not saying its a recusable “conflict.”

Also: she's a federal magistrate. Her husband's life is much more at risk because of her current job than his low-level executive job from fifteen years back.

The federal trial won’t even be in front of her. She’s a magistrate judge. IIRC, the poor magistrate in FL who got stuck with the Trump search warrant received similar absurd treatment.

i think if 'worrying they may be next' is a conflict you can't have a judge on like, any murder trial, lmao.

He was an assistant general counsel/VP at a company that's got dozens of VPs. Executive, sure, but the dude wasn't C-suite. He was in the legal department somewhere.

Mike Dunford, famous corporate toady. Sigh.

That person passed the bar. Passed the mpre for a jurisdiction. Just goes to show those tests aren’t serving their gatekeeping function.

I appreciate the nostalgic feeling I get seeing Bluesky legal discourse descend to the level of Twitter legal discourse, where boring facts and the humdrum rules of how courts work are no match for the power of viral clickbait, narrative desires, and wishcasting.

When I was at Freddie Mac every new attorney was a Director every experienced attorney was a VP because of our payscale system that mimicked the GS schedule. It's the only way we could pay them a competitive salary, it also taught me to ignore titles cause they don't mean much😉

What, you think that one CEO assassination puts someone who worked in a non-c-suite position at a pharma at measurably more risk of being killed than he already is as the husband of a sitting federal magistrate? C'mon, that's not even a blip in a realistic threat analysis.

No. Is that what you think I’m saying? I’m saying that this judge will harbor stronger feelings towards/against this particular defendant than most people in her court

Why? I mean, every judge is a human and every human has their own experiences, sure. But so far I haven't seen anything that would make me think that her particular experiences would incline her to stronger feelings than anyone else. And certainly not feelings in a predictable direction.

..which is to say: there is not necessarily class solidarity amongst capitalists - especially between a business that profits from denying medical interventions and another that profits from selling medical interventions.

How in the fuck did a state bar admit you? How did you get a passing score for any jurisdiction on the mpre?

Thinking random ex-VPs from Pharma aren’t at risk because of what Mangione allegedly did is authoritarianism to you?

Respectfully; LMAO at Dunford being a “boot licker”. Clearly you know not of whom you speak or you would have made a much better choice in this exchange.

I sincerely hope Mr. US Code puts more rigor into his actual legal filings and civil rights litigation than he has put into this discussion

Her husband and his colleagues at the NYC Bar Association? Where he's worked for more than a decade now?

I still don’t get why she’d be overly harsh. She thinks most murders are pretty bad but this one is *really* bad? And she’s the magistrate so she’ll deny some discovery requests? To be harsh?
