As a licensed, practicing attorney, my goal is to provide commentary & information on noteworthy legal & true crime cases, such as the 2014 murder of FSU law professor Dan Markel & DC lawyer Robert Wone's 2006 murder. Some content will be on the lighter side with comedy. This channel is dedicated in memory of George C. Lin, the founder of the DC APA Film Festival and president of the San Diego AA Film Festival, who encouraged me to continue making creative works as a form of empowerment. "Asian American Focus" was a public access television show produced through The Peoples Channel (Channel 8) in Chapel Hill, North Carolina from 2001-2008. Guests were notable local and out-of-town community leaders, artists, writers, and scholars with an "Asian American Focus." Thank you to Matthew Burke, the late director of the station, for allowing us to produce the show.

Now that Duane "Keefe D" or "Keffe D" Davis has been convicted for his role in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, let's remember Tupac and his mother Afeni Shakur, who died of cardiac arrest in 2016 and had lived in my hometown of Stone Mountain, Georgia. In 1998, I had the privilege of meeting activist Yuri Kochiyama in her Harlem apartment. She mentioned how she was friends with Tupac's mother and what a nice boy Tupac was. A couple of years, I paid tribute to Tupac singing "Dear Mama" in an improv comedy livestream. Rest in power, Tupac and Afeni Shakur, as well as Yuri Kochiyama.

‪@lawandcrimetrials‬ has a short video of the media swarming Lindsay Clancy's attorney Kevin Reddington outside the courthouse and asking him questions. The jury has been deliberating for 24 hours and reported to the judge that they were deadlocked. Despite being deadlocked, the jury has decided to return to continue deliberations the following day. Reddington stated he does not view this as a strictly "good" or "bad" sign, but rather an indication that the jury is working hard to reach a decision.

RE: the federal lawsuit filed by  @TheShuliNetwork  against  @stutteringjohn7665  -- the Court has granted the plaintiffs an extension of time to respond to the Motion to Dismiss by 9/4/26.  @stutteringjohn7665  then has until 9/14/26 to file a reply to it. The plaintiffs' attorney mentioned that he has esophageal cancer and had side effects from it. As a fellow cancer patient/survivor, I sympathize with Attorney Smith and wish him the best of luck with his treatment. Everything has gone well re: my diagnosis (Stage 1), and I'm through with the surgeries and radiation. The comment on  @stutteringjohn7665 's movie really made me laugh, as I was diagnosed soon after watching "One Too Many."

‪@ProfJoExplains‬ minces no words in giving her quick take on the sloppiness of Donna Adelson's recently filed appellate brief. Experienced criminal defense lawyer Daniel Meier will return on Wednesday at 6pm EST to go over the appellate arguments with me. I will be in mediation Wednesday, so depending on how things go, the time may be adjusted. Please hear what ‪@ProfJoExplains‬ 's impressions are here:
