Bryan Kohberger Motion to Change Venue: Lessons from the Boston Marathon Bombing Case 📺 #CourtTV On Friday, I discussed the defense’s motion to change venue in the Brian Kohberger case, drawing parallels to the Boston Marathon bombing trial. Kohberger’s defense argues that due to extensive pretrial publicity and public sentiment, a fair trial is impossible in the current county. This situation brings to mind the Boston Marathon bombing case, where despite similar concerns, the court decided not to move the trial. In Boston, potential jurors had experienced a citywide lockdown during the manhunt. Despite these challenges, the United Stares Supreme Court upheld the conviction and held that a fair jury could still be selected within the original venue. The question now is whether the same can be said for Kohberger’s case, given the intense media coverage and public scrutiny it has received. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this important legal issue. Do you think the court should grant the motion to change venue in Kohberger’s case, or is there enough precedent to keep it where it is? Have a great Labor Day weekend! ##LawLife #FormerProsecutor #CriminalDefense #BrianKohberger #BostonMarathonBombing #ChangeOfVenue #JurySelection #CriminalDefense

📢 Update on the Renters Reform Bill (RRB): iHowz has been lobbying parliament for some time, working alongside Sir Christopher Chope regarding the RRB. However, on the 3rd reading, the situation remains uncertain. Despite efforts, an opposition amendment to immediately abolish Section 21 was defeated. The Bill stipulates Section 21 will be axed 'when the court system improves,' but the specifics are sadly lacking. Key points of the Bill: 1. Abolition of Section 21 Evictions: Ensures tenants' security by preventing landlords from evicting without cause. 2. Decent Home Standard: Sets minimum safety and quality standards for rental properties. 3. Enhanced Tenant Rights: Grants new rights, including pet permissions and protection against discrimination. 4. Review of Court System: Ensures effective management of eviction cases before Section 21 abolishment. 5. Timeline Adjustments: Allows for adequate preparation periods for landlords and tenants. 6. Clarifications on Rights/Obligations: Ensures clarity in tenant rights and landlord obligations. 7. Focus on Housing Standards: Ensures safe and habitable rental accommodation. 8. Balancing Interests: Aims for fairness between landlords and tenants. Overall, the RRB, with its amendments, represents a comprehensive effort to reform the rental sector and address key issues affecting renters across the UK. Stay tuned for updates! 🏠🔑 #rentersreformbill #RRB #ukrentals #uklandlords #rentals #privaterentedsector #prs

📜 A look back...📜 The history of Enrolled Agents dates back to 1884 when Congress passed what’s known as the Horse Act of 1884. Signed into law by President Chester A. Arthur on July 7, 1884, the bill was created as a reaction to fraudulent war loss claims in the wake of the American Civil War. After the war, many citizens faced difficulties in settling claims with the government for property confiscated for use in the war effort, and many dubious claims were submitted by scam artists. As a result, Congress endowed enrolled agents with the power of advocacy to prepare claims against the government. A standard was created for enrolled agents that included suitability checks, criminal records check and a moral character evaluation. Explore more EA and CSEA history here: https://lnkd.in/g7hzBNDH

THE ELITE LEFT ARE AGAINST GOOD EDUCATION The Michaela School encountered a lot of resistance from the so called, social-justice movement and the 'radical left' who believes that children are adults in child bodies etc. and that people of colour should follow their lead if it is about morals and representation. A kind of inward focused 'black tax' debt. BACK TO BASICS The Michaela School (re)turns to the core of education. They believe that knowledge is power. And that adults should lead and decrease choices for children. Michaela goes back to the idea of supporting the nation as a whole and teach the importance of shared set of common values. Its inspiring and hopeful. Listen and learn.

Reflecting on 40 Years Since the Brighton Bombing Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Brighton Bombing at the Conservative Party Conference in 1984—a tragic event that aimed to shatter democracy through violence. Looking back further, I also recall the 1979 bombing that claimed the life of Airey Neave in Westminster. And more recently, we faced the heartbreaking loss of Jo Cox in 2016. These moments serve as painful reminders that violence has no place in politics. While we may hold differing views and engage in lively debate, our disagreements must never diminish the humanity we share. In a democracy, it is the ballot box—not acts of violence—that determines our future. Let’s continue to champion respect, dialogue, and understanding, no matter how divided opinions may seem. Democracy thrives only when we uphold peace and protect the right of all voices to be heard. #BrightonBombing40Years #DemocracyNotViolence #RespectInPolitics #JoCox #AireyNeave #BallotBoxNotViolence #UKPolitics #NeverForget #PeaceAndDemocracy #DemocraticValues
