Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The Anaheim, formerly California, formerly LA Angels are now the LA Angels of Anaheim.
This is dumb.
I know they have been wanting to have LA in their name for some reason unknown to me, (is anyone unclear where Anaheim is? Is it not true that it is in a different county and not actually in LA?)
I have no idea why this bugs me. But it does. Though I am amused that they resolved it by adopting an even sillier name than I thought possible as an outcome.
Huh. I thought spousal privilege meant that you weren't forced to testify against your spouse, not that you weren't allowed to.
Why should other people's lives or liberty be less important than my marriage vows, which I can break with a snap of a finger anyway?
And you've exactly idenitified the issue. Privilege -- any privilege -- requires a balancing of two goods (or two bads). The desire to have full and frank communication between people in particular relationships (marriage, attorney-client, priest-penitent) has to be balanced against the desire for the truth to come out and the guilty punished.

This was also my understanding, based on the many years of watching Law & Order
However, I may have merely been mesmerized by Sam Waterston's eyebrows. Give 'em hell, McCoy!

You definition may be correct, depending upon the state involved -- it really does vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

NY may be different than California.

The Detroit Pistons are not only not in Detroit, they're not in the same county. I think it's the same with the Lions. The Tigers and Redwings are right downtown, though.
NY may be different than California.
Indeed. Also, fiction may be different than reality. It's all good. Except Waterston's eyebrows.

I may or may not be in the throes of a sugar high.

From what I've seen and read, the folks at "Law & Order" do try to be accurate about NY law. I remember a few eps with the law in other jurisdictions being an issue -- a cross-over with "Homicide" demonstrated the differences between NY and Maryland law on some matters.
Well, it's true that the NY Giants play in New Jersey, but then, where were they gonna play, White Plains? Also, New Jersey has its own football team.
Once upon a time the Dodgers were the Brooklyn Dodgers rather than the New York Dodgers, but at least that was a matter of specificity. (The Yankees are, sadly, not officially the Bronx Yankees, although it would be excellent fodder for crude jokes if they were.)
The Yankees are the Bronx Bombers.
