Boalt Dean Recommends Expulsion of Trustafarian
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 26th, 2007 2:45 PM Author: Pink Violent Center Subject: for reals.... Posted at 10:49 am at http://memoirsofhastings.blogspot.com/
BREAKING: Dean Edley, Boalt, has recommended that the student who posted the threat on XOXO be expelled. The case goes to U.C. Berkeley's Judicial Affairs Office for final adjudication.
April 25, 2007 To: Boalt Community From: Dean Christopher Edley, Jr.
It has been a week since the distressing events involving a Boalt student's threat —a hoax — against the community at Hastings College of the Law. I am writing to let you know that all our actions following the incident have been taken with the intention of securing the safety and well-being of our community and that at Hastings, while respecting the procedural rights of the student.
On Wednesday, April 25, 2007, the Law School filed a complaint with the U.C. Berkeley Judicial Affairs Office against the law student who claimed responsibility for posting the threat on a website. We, the administrative leadership of Boalt, believe that the student's action is clearly in violation of a number of regulations detailed in the Student Code of Conduct. The case will be adjudicated by Judicial Affairs according to campus regulations. Those regulations prohibit us from disclosing the name of the student against whom we are proceeding.
Based on the facts as we understand them today, we have recommended expulsion. This is based not only on the intrinsic wrongfulness of the act itself, but also the disruption, turmoil and emotional toll on the Hastings community and, to a more limited extent, the Boalt community as well. I have received ample evidence of this through a great many emails, some of them painful to read.
This incident has once again confirmed for me the strength and qualities of the Boalt community. Even in this challenging circumstance, you have engaged in thoughtful and productive discussions. We should all take some pride in this, imperfect though we are.
Christopher Edley, Jr. Professor of Law and Dean |

For the laymen out there who constantly bitch about lawyers and the tendency to always encourage a client to deny everything unless there is uncontroverted proof, this is why. Personal accountability and responsibility gets you nowhere except shitcanned.
Denial, even if guilty, can often evolve into victory. |

Date: April 26th, 2007 3:00 PM Author: Misunderstood Theater Stage Mad-dog Skullcap it's amazing the morons in the boalt administration didnt take his (apparent) forthrightness into account when deciding on the sanction. hopefully he can convince the honor committee board or whatever not to expel him. hope, for his sake, some people familiar with the depraved sense of humor here are on the panel that decides his fate.
btw, wtf is wrong with people at boalt? they sent the dean "painful" emails describing the "emotional toll" of getting out of school early because of a dumb hoax? bunch of fags. |

wow, are you for serious? if you're guilty of an offense and you deny it, your denial can "often evolve into victory"? OMG wow your pretty smart!!! |

Date: April 26th, 2007 3:09 PM Author: Pearl School Twinkling Uncleanness Uhhh yeah . . . I am serious. If you cannot see the truth in my statement, then maybe you should try to work on separating moral convictions from professional obligations.
Is denying an act that you are guilty of morally reprehensible? To a lot of people.
Does denial ultimately result in charges dropped and cases dismissed? Every day in a lot of courtrooms around this country. |

By fessing up, he almost surely has avoided criminal penalties that he had a significantly better chance of facing if the FBI had to spend a couple weeks subpoenaing a bunch of people to get IP logs, and then doing IP traces to locate who posted it. Sure, they may not have caught him. But they may have. Especially since they immediately had the lead that he was a Boalt student. How many males are in the Boalttt 1L class?
There are plenty of other things to do besides being a lawyer. You can't do them if you're in Federal Ass Pounding Prison.

Date: April 26th, 2007 3:16 PM Author: Electric Alcoholic Tattoo Shitlib This is absolutely ridiculous and infuriating. I defended the decision to report Trustafarian's post to Hastings. I defended the decision to evacuate the campus. I defended the FBI's desire to identify and interview him. All those things are reasonable reactions given the circumstances at the time.
But the "threat" was confirmed to be what most people knew it would be: a bad and stupid joke. Trustafarian is guilty of bad judgment. He's not guilty of an offense disqualifying him from the legal profession. He more than made up for his poor judgment by apologizing, coming forward, and cooperating with authorities.
I agree with everyone else on this thread who says that Boalt is making their message loud and clear: DON'T come forward, DON'T be responsible if you make a mistake, DON'T be honest, and DON'T apologize even when you've screwed up. Boalt's decision to try and expel him HARMS the legal profession, rather than bettering it.
Fuck you, Boalt. |

This seems like a textbook case of groupthink by the Boalt administration, where enough angry people got in a room and the group eventually coalesced around the most extreme reaction. The series of seemingly self-satisfied e-mails coming from the Dean also supports this interpretation of events.
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail at the actual sentencing phase, though I think it is extremely unlikely that the Judicial Affairs bureaucrats are going to stand up to the Law School administration. My guess is that the decision has already effectively been made. |

That said, this board does have a great assortment of intelligent posters with the kind of dark, sharp humor that I appreciate.

Trustafarian obviously missed the mark with the Hastings threat thread, but expulsion is just ridiculous for the reasons many have already listed.

boalt sends the opposite signal. "if you make a mistake, hide, lie, deny, accuse, and run way but by no means come forward and apologize". |

Had trusta remained silent, Hastings police would have probably needed days to uncover the fraud, if they ever would have proven it to their satisfaction. Class would have been cancelled for much longer than half a day.
By acting as he did, Trusta not only did the moral thing to minimize the repercussions of his recklessness, but he saved the Hastings community from MORE pain and anguish. he should be censored but not expelled. The Interwebs will be full of this kind of stuff, and with this decision Boalt Law will certainly be taken into account by future Trustafarians who are reckless with speech or a bad joke.

Edley doesn't get to impose the penalty, but if the penalty is more rational, and takes account of the fact that Trustafarian stepped forward, then Edley has saved face and all's well that ends fairly.

so many of these shitheels hang on to long-since-passed (if ever existed) perceptions of law schools to be utopian "academies" where everyone is polite and high-level discussion of the legal, political, and philosophical takes place and their bullshit "scholarship" actually means something. newsflash profs, courts hardly ever even cite law reviews anymore.
trusta's joke and this board are deviations from their utopia and seen as attacks on their lifestyle. |

Date: April 26th, 2007 4:03 PM Author: house-broken lay keepsake machete Suppose that Edley's motivated mostly by maintaining institutional prestige. What deans wouldn't be? And when you're applying from UG, the odds of choosing a different kind of dean and then having your choice turn out to matter are less than one in a million. Most UGs won't even know about this event anyway. And 100%, with perhaps you being the exception, will still make their choice based on rankings, geography, and cost. I'm not disagreeing with your interpretation but I don't see anything changing for Boalt as a result of this. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=621206&forum_id=2#8011330) |

No one tried to engage and dissuade trustafarian, indicating no one took it seriouly. forwarding the deleted post, w/o explaining the context of being surrounded by retarded humor from dipshit trolls was unforeseeable.

In the end, nobody cares about the nasty things said to, by, or about Heide Iravani, Jodie Rosello, or that woman who's about to graduate from Chicago who shall not be named because Jaret and Anthony have an inexplicable hard on for her. But threatening to blow up a law school is serious shit and warrants serious consequences. I can't fathom why one would think otherwise. |

Date: April 26th, 2007 5:21 PM Author: Jet sweet tailpipe bawdyhouse Upon reconsideration, the student probably would have had problems if he had posted the "joke" anywhere else.
Still, it is especially stupid to post it on a forum that is universally shunned by law deans and faculty + students -- even before the incident took place. People aren't going to think -- "well, this is one major screwup, but let's give this guy another chance." Instead, they're going to say -- "this is just another predictable event in a long chain of harassment, invasion of privacy, and now death threats." And in a way, they'd be right -- the forum has become much more corrosive than it was just a year ago |

The politically correct law deans must put a stop to the free expression of ideas (or at least any ideas that they do not like). They are thought control nuts!
The feds cannot convict this guy of anything as the 9th circuit requires intent -- probably why no charges have been filed. This was clearly a JOKE! No one questions that. The Hastings Dean admittted that she knew it was a joke. She did not like the joke so she did everything within her power to ruin the person making the joke. Both Deans should be ashamed of themselves. They made a mountain out of a molehill.
Good job Deans!

I suspect it would still be reported. Even if C&F doesn't require reporting of disciplinary proceedings that don't result in punishment, the C&F will still find out because the C&F asks the Dean if there is any reason to question the applicant's fitness for admission to the bar. If this Dean is recommending expulsion, you can bet he has a reason to question trust's fitness for admission to the bar. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=621206&forum_id=2#8011925) |

But I don't believe the reporting of this incident, even involving a milder punishment like suspension, will bar him from passing c&f.
this was a lapse in judgment perhaps akin to a dui. it was not an issue involving his moral turpitude. dui convicts routinely pass c&f as long as they are honest in their disclosures. |

I mean, what if this were true, or he said it. "I was drunk, and fooling around and was going to write a satire about the VA-Tech incident and accidentally hit a tab and enter and it submitted it before I had a chance to full explain this was not a threat or anything of that magnitude, following that I realized I made a mistake, and erased the post and posted another joke, and went to sleep quite drunk, here is what I intended to post, as you see, it was clearly a satire and not an active threat, more of an excerpt from a possible play"
What would have happened then? The equivalent of a technical error, hell, one wonders what would happen if he printed out a piece of paper with this on it, and then said he got the idea from the paper and was simply quoting something he found on the ground at his school, etc.
I think there were many hypotheticals in this situation which would have been more than enough to clear him and put significant doubt on it.
I think a lot of people post shit while drunk and on accident, obviously he's a retard for posting this, at all, and a bigger retard for completely confessing to this, when there were many more rational explanations for his misbehavior, which would have been better than the WGWAG defense. |

If the FBI wanted to prosecute him, what would they charge him with? How is what he said any different from someone posting that they just decided not to rob the local Walmart?

Date: April 27th, 2007 12:50 PM Author: Electric Alcoholic Tattoo Shitlib First of all it doesn't look he will be prosecuted anyway.
But more importantly, the issue you raise goes more to the adequacy of the evidence, rather than the ultimate guilt/innocence question. The wording of his post might cause some people to believe that he was making a "threat". For example, I could "threaten" you by saying the exact opposite of something and it wouldn't be a defense for me to say that my words did not technically constitute a threat.
example: hey killer_kyle, I swear I'm NOT going to rub cat poo on your front door tonight. Really. I won't. Muah ha ha. Have a good night! |

so it sounds creepy at best, but after the VA tech thing (which he specifically referenced) it could be taken as a threat.
