"This was a very dumb mistake," [Philip Michael] Thomas told Judge Chris Washington. "I'm deeply sorry for what I did."
But Washington pointed out before sentencing Thomas that setting up a video camera on several occasions wasn't a momentary lapse of judgment.
"It's a bit more than just dumb," he said. "You're going to have explaining to do, probably for the rest of your life."
From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics.
