The Day's Three Burning Legal Questions
Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere.
1) Question: I'm a defendant in a criminal trial. During a break, a police officer in the courtroom just shared his tin of Altoids with many members of the jury! Can I get a mistrial?
Answer: Nope. (The Patriot-News, Defense attorney representing Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson's brother asks for mistrial over Altoids peppermints) (via Bad Lawyer)
2) Question: The guy who repaired my computer told me to place it near my shower because the "steamy environment" will "clean its internal sensor." Good idea?
Answer: I don't know about the "internal sensor," but at least one repairman has been arrested for allegedly installing a spyware program on computers that took hundreds of naked photographs of females who took his advice of placing their computers near the shower.

3) Question: I read your post about avoiding over-used stock images on my website such as a gavel, scales of justice, courthouse steps, columns, a skyscraper, a distinguished-looking person staring at a document, law books and people shaking hands. That seems like good advice. How about a photo of me wearing a cloak and holding a torch, surrounded by a lion, a tiger and perhaps one more big cat (I'm thinking a leopard)?
Answer: That's been done already. Keep brainstorming. (Above the Law, Lions and Tigers and Lawyers, Oh My…)
