Of course this sort of thing may also get you in deeper and deeper hot water. Sometimes irrevocably. Such as if you keep stubbornly buying more and more of a crappy penny stock that others keep telling you is to be avoided and should have been dumped at the first (or at least second, or third) opportunity to get out with a profit.

You're the one who paid Wizard to testify for you once, and paid him to judge my Baccarat session contest, and yet he has ruled against you in WOV matters. Repeatedly.
Hence the assumption is that he is unbiased or at least impartial. Or are you suggesting otherwise?

You are unaware of how the real world works. I’ve been at political fundraisers with all sorts of judges playing with all sorts of lawyers. Charity events as well.
You don’t think the membership list at exclusive country clubs are not rife with these judges/lawyers/anesthesiologists?
I probably know Mike better than either of you. He’d rule against me IN A SECOND if he felt I was in the wrong. No reason to imply his ‘friendship’ with MDawg had ANYTHING to do with a ‘ruling’. (Which I don’t even remember!)

And I was literally just in court for a friend with a simple misdemeanor battery and the judge saw he knew one of the witnesses and instantly recused himself.
Sure judges play golf with attorneys but they don't play golf with the PLAINTIFFS!!!
If you can't see that distinction I can't help you.

Ok. Back to the real world. In a typical malpractice/personal injury/negligence type case the lawyer representing the plaintiff is ESSENTIALLY 1/3 of the plaintiff. If a judgment is for say, $6 million, the LAWYER gets $2 million. So I ask you, does the judge have to recuse himself from every case in which he played golf with the lawyer?
I think that a judge CERTAINLY can recuse himself if he feels that the relationship with a lawyer/plaintiff would prevent him from acting impartially.
You must be aware of some judges in high profile cases that have actually DONATED THEIR OWN MONEY to political candidates opposing the accused? I’ll stop there as I don’t want to be suspended before I get my picks in for next week’s games!

D.Oz has Wizard ever suggested that your tortuous "appeals" or losing Coach Challenges be considered by a different moderator? What was your response?
It also sometimes just has to do with disclosure. I represented the plaintiff once in a minor lawsuit where the judge disclosed that he had been the law school professor for the only witness for the defense. I waived the conflict.
Quote: MDawgIn the scheme of things, that D.Oz once paid Wizard to testify on his behalf has a higher appearance of impropriety than that MDawg and Wizard interact socially occasionally.

I never wanted to take part in any of the Coach challenges which I feel is just total BS designed to piss off forum members.
I don't know to what multiple challenges you refer. I have had only one coach challenge which was total BS, plenty of forum members actually agreed with me.
The wizards association with me as well is EVEN MORE REASON for his recusal, not less. SMH.
I have actually prevailed on one or two, and been owed suspension days.

link to original post
I had nothing to do with this one either.
Outcome for D.Oz - LOST / Ignored / No reversal.
He basically said "I am the Wizard and will not second guess anything I judge"
That is patently not the proper ruling for deciding right or wrong.
To out it another way, the Wizard's ruling could have been the most egregious wrong ruling in the history of the known universe and he would have let it stand.
So not an actual opinion of worth and yes, he lost some standing with me in that decision.
The real irony is you make a big deal that I never admit whe. I am wrong, then argue the Wizard's ruling that he never counterparts his decisions because they are always right without the need to even see why.
Pretty ironic

In order to win an appeal the judge has to actually read the appeal.
Wizard has stated he won't even read my appeals because he never reverses himself.
You claim he has reversed himself in your cases. Which means he actually read them.

It was a simple question any attorney should be able to answer.
How many trials have you lost lifetime?
Quote: MDawg
His appeal was patently absurd, poorly reasoned and dismissed out of hand by the Wizard, and rightly so. If you dare to wade through this thread there are references to other times in the WOV past he has tried to "appeal" and been shot down.
He is also in the wrong with his interpretations of the fake video that has nothing to do with Caesars.
The real question is how to correlate how he has been so frequently wrong about these sorts of things and been so intent on presenting absurdly wrong conclusions and analysis, with his claimed ability to get over on casinos. What he does have going for him is dogged determination and refusal to back down even when pointedly in the wrong, so maybe the point is that anyone who tries enough times and doesn't give up may get something accomplished.

I know if I was a hugely successful lawyer who liked to brag about my success I would be bragging about my trial wins.
Doesn't even have to be batting a thousand. Winning 58 out of 70 would be impressive.
But if I was a lousy trial lawyer with a very poor record, I know I would be very quiet on the subject.
Just saying that's me. How I would be posting IF I was a hugely successful lawyer.

90% of criminal cases never go to trial. Usually by the time someone is arrested and charged, everyone knows they're guilty and there's plenty of evidence for it, so they just plea bargain to avoid some prison time, and the prosecutors still get to chalk up a win.

I'd guess that 90% of lawyers' work is unrelated to trials. Most lawyers aren't criminal defense attorneys.
He could have made them up page. He didn't in relation to my question how many trials has he won.
And that was in relation to his ASKING ME about my single trial outcome which he already knows the answer to.
In fact I was very upfront about the outcome of that case devoting a whole thread to it. So his asking for my outcome at trial was unnecessary.
But since he brought it up I think it's a fair question to ask about his record of wins and losses at trials.
And it's telling he doesn't want to respond IMHO.

You might ne confusing the MDawg challenge with the Coaches challenge initiated by MDawg because he felt insulted by a statement I made.
The coaches challenge is what this thread is about and is Mike insisting I prove the validity of a statement made.
I proved what was asked and then he said I didn't prove something that was only implied and I got suspended.
Then I appealed the validity of being asked to prove something that was only implied and not explicitly asked and the Wizard said he won't even read that because his decisions are always correct.
There wasn't any money involved in this at all.

The main point of all this was that D.Oz's "legal theories" and "appeals" at WOV are utterly groundless. Beyond groundless, completely devoid of any legal merit other than in a free wheeling Marx Brothers way. And absurdly verbose to boot.
Beyond that, his "evidence" offered to try to win the Coach's Challenge in the first place was dispatchable at a glance. Which is why he was immediately convicted and WOV jailed as soon as he rested his case.
I think it could safely be said that none of this could even survive the laugh test.
I wrote all of the above, now. But, silence pretty much said the same thing. And will continue to do so.
