POINT. COUNTER POINT.

This post gives the other point of view about soundings and motions for continuances. It deserves to be read as a response to our post yesterday (plus, the writer goes out of his/her way to stroke our ego):

Anonymous said...

Rump: I have found you to be fair and even handed over this past year. You are virtually always a voice of reason. You tell it like it is. I think THAT'S why people log into this blog. If your ideas were always stupid, no one would care. When you think you're right you say so, and when you have been shown by others that you may have missed the mark, you likewise say so. That's why you have the following you do.


You correctly state Judge Dava Tunis's deserved credit for being respected and at the top of the list for any judge we'd want hearing a case. You say she is one of the best and the brightest, but then you write: "Making private attorneys do grunt work for no reason other than to frustrate their ability to continue a case is not the solution."

Come on Rump!

The policy she came up with applies not to just private attorneys, but to all attorneys-including pds and asa's. It also says that if there are legitimate reasons why a motion can't be made in time or in writing, she'll consider that. As far as I know, have seen, and have heard, she never simply denied a continuance because it wasn't in writing.
I have only two cases in there, but it has given me enough exposure to her efficiency. My guess is that it would be more like her to deny something because it's on its 8th continuance and is coming up on two years old, irrespective of whether the newest request to continue is in writing. Then she applies serious pressure toward trial/resolution, written continuance or not.

And as you fairly pointed out, those are 8 continuances that she herself did not grant over those two years. Frankly what I've seen of her in being in the court, I cannot imagine that she's going to deny a first time up or even second time continuance for any reason, written motion or not. She might remind the lawyer of the policy for future times, but as you said she's respected and one of the best and brightest.

It appears like she reads everything that's given to her and cuts down on the time it takes to address something, because she already has read whatever motion you have filed (terminate probation early/motion to travel/whatever) That also means she's not foolish with the decisions she makes. In the times I've been there and talked to the pit people on both sides, I've not had occasion to witness or hear about any strict knee-jerk reaction by her on anything. My guess, and it's just a guess from what I've seen in the flow of the court, is that she's just trying to come up with some policy to create accountability and stop that gravy train from continuing (no pun intended) to flow unchecked.

Besides, have you (or all of us) forgotten that the criminal rules provide for written motions of continuances 'with certificate of service stated by counsel that it's made in good faith'. 3.190(a),(g)(4)? [Rumpole says: We did not forget about that. We wrote that no motion should be put on calendar until it contains that certificate plus independent proof of what the attorney did to comply- like a letter to opposing counsel.]

Asking for something in writing is really not the Judge Izzy Reyes Reduex from last year that you compared this to. By the way, she already took your advice - three to four weeks before you posted it - when she discussed with all the people in her division not putting motions for disco/better addresses, etc. on calendar until they could show by memos or email that they have already made a good faith attempt to get the missing items, to avoid clogging up the calendar.

So, your comments about her are very fair and accurate, but this: ore tenus or nothing else, doesn't hold water. I personally faxed an Agreed Motion for continuance to her chambers sometime last month, asking my presence and my client's presence be waived on a first time up case. She granted it and I got a call from her JA asking me what trial date the state and I agreed to, without requiring my presence at the sounding.

So come on, lets get real and actually practice law. Just from the way she acts and welcomes suggestions in the court, I would imagine a tweaking to this policy could easily be accomplished, maybe by someone talking to her. But to say ore tenus or nothing, is a bit much.
Doesn't sound like that reasoned Rump I've come to know over this past year.

Rumpole says: Well done.

Maybe certain assistant public defenders who have taken to trashing us on TV and saying that the blog is just about attacking people might change her mind after reading your reply.

As President Lincoln once said about changing his mind: "You don't have to eat the whole egg to know it's rotten."

See you in court giving mean looks to a certain PD.

As a private lawyer with one or two cases in Judge Tunis' div, written motions are fine. But if I were the PD in that div, it wouldn't happen. That was a very nice post written by the only person who would have an interest in written motions for cont 5 days before sounding-Judge Tunis.

As someome from the PD's office that knows about her court, the cases we handle have been cut by over half, since she's been there-because of what she does in court with the attorneys. What's left is a lot of private's cases. Ask any ASA that's in there.

To 8:26am: Rump I can't hold back on this one. I usually just read you and don't write. Stepping up to defend the various PDs that go in and out of Judge Tunis' Division as well as other divisions,let's see: we take depos, prepare cases, file rules to show cause (which she grants and excludes witnesses per the rules IF you bother to do the right work), file Demands, get Nolle Prosses, try cases, and oh yeah, actually litigate motions to suppress like the one that involved some defendant looking at a minimum mandatory on a firearm...which was granted by the judge. That took guts for her, but she followed the law we argued...you NEVER heard about it because it wasn't a media case, it wasn't on this blog, it was just some normal motion from a couple months ago by someone from our office, just some kid looking at 30 years that walked out because of her legal ruling on the law. So before you start a pd bashing, hang out in the court and see how hard we work. Do you know how many times a private attorney files a Demand...uh, like never. We've actually stopped filing them in Tunis' division, because she'll actually try the case within a few weeks. Quit bashing us because we work harder than you for way less money and quit talking about what you do not know about.

I am a bystander in Court today before Judge Lawrence King and the attorney representing the defendant in a commercial landlord tenant dispute tells Judge King that the Attorney for the Corporate plaintiff has been suspended from practicing law since August 31, 2006 and presents the Judge documents email from the Fla Bar showing this.

Judge Lawrence King response "oh I am sure he will work that out..."

Well all you lawyers suspended from law Judge Lawrence King welcomes you with open arms. He will let you get writs, issue subpoenas, get final judgments and if you do not complete that pesky CLE course oh who cares its Judge "KING" court room no law license required.

As good Rumpole says see ya in Court were license to practice law is almost always required (exceptions do apply see Judge King's court for details)

Note to all suspended lawyers you may still practice law just hop on over to Coral Gables District Court and file any claim under $15-k and bam your in.

Please note that you may get Hague or Schwartz and this deal does not apply with them.

Nushin Sayfie is a joke as a trial attorney. One time, when she was my so-called training attorney, she scolded me for not turning over IA reports I had on an officer to the State during a Battery on a LEO trial.

Tell me why would any good criminal defense attorney ever turn over impeachment material to
the prosecution? Moreover, why
would the PD's office be teaching
young lawyers to do that.

You have no obligation to turn over impeachment material. Especially, IA stuff. If the state hasn't done their own homework regarding their witnesses - tough luck.

Anonymous said...

We are allowed to assume a states witness will not lie. Therefore anything we may have for impeachment purposes need not be turned over and is not relevant until the witness fudges the facts. This rule also applies to witnesses who need not be listed if called for impeachment purposes only. Impeachment evidence is offered as substantive evidence only to show that a witness has been untruthful about a relevant fact at some point, and therefore the witness cannot be believed.

Anonymous said...

I meant not offered as substantive evidence

Anonymous said...

i'm not surprised an asa thinks impeachment material needs to be turned over - i'll never forget an asa saying that it was unethical for a defense lawyer to hire an investigator and have them speak to state witnesses without telling the asa.

Anonymous said...

You've got to turn over impeachment evidence that you could reasonably anticipate using. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

PS---no, you can't always assume a witness will tell the truth Jason. Especially if you took depos and learned otherwise. Willful blindness is not a defense.

Are you saying that you have an obligation to turn over OI reports?

Rumpole said...

Ahm..we know something about this. There is a difference between impeachment "evidence" and impeachment information. What an investigator tells you is information that you can use or not.It does not need to be disclosed. If you want your investigator to tesitfy, that is evidence and must be turned over. If the witness has a prior, that must be turned over. If the witness made an inconsistent statament that the prosecution does not have, that must be disclosed. That is reciprocal discovery.

Rumpole said...

By the way- the comments for the most part today were very funny and entertaining.

State the bottom line is we ain't gonna do your work for you. If you don't take the time to learn about
your own witnesses prior history,
i.e. IA reports, convictions, etc. - I am certainly not going to
do it for you.

Any good trial attorney - on either
side of the table - does their own
homework and knows their own case inside and out. Too bad if all are
not trained properly at the state or if you don't have the time.

Defense lawyers have no obligation
whatsoever to turn over, prior to
trial, items that are stricly for
impeachment purposes.

And if you think otherwise, please
cite the Rule, Caselaw or Ethical
Opinion you are relying on.

Rumpole said...

I would not turn over OI reports on a case. The prosecutor should have them. You have no obligation to tell them what you're planning. I would turn over IA Reports. They are not evidence in the case, yet reciprocal discovery requires an attorney to disclose evidence. The old bug-a-boo that attorneys do not need to reveal impeachment evidence is from the CIVIL (yuck) rules of procedure. The Criminal rules of procedure 3.220 I believe, require RECIPROCAL disclosure.

For example: a witness has a prior for perjury. You can use the prior. I would disclose and provide the state with a copy of the ceritifed copy of conviction.

For example: You list John Smith, and the state deposes him. They ask him about the alleged alibi he provides for your client. You do not need to disclose to the State that the prosecution's main eyewitness used drugs with Smith right before the crime and that Smith will testify to this.

I will note that the Supreme Court decision in Kyles v. Whitely, which holds that the prosecution is presumed to be in possession of all evidence the police have, may have a bearing on a defense attorneys decision to withhold a report they have, that the police have, but that the prosecution does not have. It is an interesting situation.

I have on numerous occasions seen lawyers and judges argue for long periods of time about the law when the answer could be obtained within 5 minutes of legal research, usually just be looking at the rule of procedure, statute, or evidence section.
A more complicated issue like the impeachment issue could be researched in less than 10 minutes in Ehrhardt's evidence. If you are a young lawyer aspiring to learn how to try cases if you don't have the aforementioned books with you in court when about to try a felony case you are not prepared and will look foolish at some point, especially when it is time to do the jury instructions. good luck.

TO ABE LAESER & OTHERS:

As some of you may have heard, the Court Appointed Counsel program is over budget. The fiscal year began on July 1, 2006 and runs until June 30, 2007.

According to the JAC, the fiscal annual budget for conflict cases is $37,436,067. One-half of the annual budget has already been disbursed. This money was budgeted to last until December 31, 2006, however, due to expenditures these monies were depleted by November 9, 2006.

The JAC is working with the Governor's Office on Planning and Budget and the legislative staff seeking early release of the third quarter monies. Those monies are due to be released on December 19, 2006, or before if the executive and legislative branches authorize early release. The Governor's Office on Planning and Budget has requested additional information from the JAC before they authorize early release of funds.

The JAC has asked us to inform all CAC attorneys to continue forwarding their invoices to them
for processing so there will not be an extended gap of payment when monies are released.

I will continue to keep you informed as I become aware of new information.

Rick,
Thanks for the update -- but if you follow the logic of JAC moving monies from each succeeding quarter, they still run out of funds around the Ides of March, 2007 (using the same rate as 2006). Then what -- Court stops for 3 1/2 months?

The County is not about to spring back into this mess; or do you think that Jeb/Charlie are really pissed about capital defendants missing out on some rights?

Maybe it is time to take that teaching job I have been considering?
