Adam Liptak to Replace Linda Greenhouse for NYT Supreme Court Coverage: Somehow, It Seems Fitting
Yes, it’s old news, but it happened while I was on vacation (around April 4). So I just noticed it.
In June 2007, I wrote a post titled: Does Adam Liptak Really Get Paid to Write About Legal Matters?? (Plus a Defense of Peremptory Challenges).
I think I made a pretty strong case that he completely misrepresented the state of the law on peremptory challenges.
I should have guessed they’d pick him.
As a prosecutor, I always kick journalists off my juries.
I remember a newspaper reporter for the Daily News writing a column about 20 years ago. He wrote about his experience on a jury and about how dumb the jurors were. The vote was 11 to 1, he revealed.

Except for the examples of faulty reasoning.
