Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
Fake Sleepy JG said...Rump,
Before you go spouting off about how I was asleep at a seminar, know your facts.
First, I have attended numberous seminars since my appointment as the top criminal attorney in my firm. I am completely up to date in Bankruptcy, Foreclosure Defense and Immigration. This is in addition to my prior experience in those areas. How many seminars have you, or any other criminal practitioner done in those areas?
Second, not only have I done three depositions on my own, I have observed at least four others.
Third, just the other day, I went to lunch with three Assistant Federal PDs. Not state PDs, FEDERAL PDs. And I went into the lobby of the federal courthouse.
Fourth, I dont think i need to be listening to some idiot talk about jury selection on a death penalty case. I will learn all I need to know next week when I attend the Basic Criminal Practice seminar at the Hyatt. I'm not going to waste time learning about jury selection BEFORE I learn about the Rules of Criminal Procedure or what an arrest is. Ever hear the phrase, "dont put the cart before the horse?"
Fifth, perhaps you were too busy blogging to watch the news on my recent victory. I represented a defendant on a very serious DWLS case. My client scored out to 6 years state prison by virtue of having six points on his scoresheet. My client died and I filed a Motion To Dismiss. I attached a copy of the death certificate. Not only did the state not file a response, they actually conceded to the Motion and the judge dismissed the case. The dismissal was with prejudice so the State cant re-file. And I filed a Proposal For Settlement on the case, so the State, by not getting a verdict of at least 25% over guidelines, will likely have to pay my fees and costs.
I would love to hear your response. Of course, if you want to see me in person, I'll be taking a Family Court Mediation training next week. Feel free to stop by when you get out of the Robert E. Goldberg Justice building or the REG building as we insiders call it.

Everyone else seems pretty attentive to me so let's not make more of this than it is. And, btw, private attorneys can attend Life over Death, so why assume it was a public servant that was pulling a Cheney?
Your missing the point of Rumpole's post. I think thats the guy who runs the second public defenders conflict office sleeping through the lecture and that's what Rumpole is talking about.
Rumpole,
You do know Hamlet was talking about suicide, right?
rump- I was listening to WLRN as is my habit in the morning and I heard that Christys the restaurant in Coral Gables is now as sponsor. And it got me to remembering the famous Christys incident in the late 1980s that many of our blog members were a part of- or commented on. But I cannot remember the details. Can anyone help a brotha out?
I know more than you could ever imagine about our great Bard. I have a degree in his writings. One of many.
I would venture that an appointed public official who is sleeping at a public forum that tax payers have spent money in these tough times to send him too is committing professional suicide.
Out damn spot!
Why the hell is JOSEPH GEORGE (hereafter referred to as "Sleepy JG")--duly appointed captain of a sinking ship a/k/a RC3--attending a death penalty seminar in the first place? Aren't there any local breakfast buffets? What would he have done with the knowledge gained from the seminar if he had been awake and paid attention?
I heard that Gene Zenobi and Ken White are doing some death penalty work for the Regional Conflict Office. Is Joe George going to teach THEM what he learned at the seminar? That's funny!
Normally I am strongly against public shaming..........but, this seems like an appropriate time to call him out. How do you sleep through a lecture on how to defend someone whose life may depend on the information you receive?
Pathetic.
BTDT
Forgive me Rumpole, but maybe my vision is not so good anymore and now 7:06 am has completely confused me.
Are you suggesting that the guy in the dark blue shirt and blue jeans, who purports to be napping, is either Carlos Martinez or Joseph P. George and if so, which one?
Thanks for clearing this up - if you can.
Rumpole, I know you saw the BOSS playing last night at Bank Atlantic.
But what are your thoughts of a Springsteen concert without E-Street playing Rosalita and Tenth Avenue Freeze Out????

Absolutely positively the best comment of the year!
I just re-read it and saw the "Richard E Goldberg" line. Pure genius. I laughed out loud, and considering I'm having a bad day, that says a lot.
THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:
FYI ...
A Canadian court has ordered Google (GOOG) to turn over the identities of anonymous Gmail users who had accused York University faculty members of fraud and dishonesty. Like similar cases in the U.S., the York incident shows just how easy it is for courts to allow authorities to gain access to "our" personal information.
CAP OUT ....
In JG's defense (which pains me), assuming he can see over his ample gut, is it possible he's texting?
It's not exactly a sign of paying attention, but it's better than sleeping.

Dear Florida Bar:
Please consider this my formal Bar Complaint against one Sleepy JG for wasting hardearned taxpayers' money, including my own.
(Insert 4 pages of useless drivel here)
I expect that you will take this Complaint seriously and punish Mr. Sleepy accordingly.
Sincerely,

cc: Everyone who I thinks might give a shit
I have repeatedly said several people attending the conference emailed me complaining that the individual was sleeping during the presentations
And Captain, judging by the number of people who want to tar and feather me and have me disbarred, you believed it was important to post that here exactly WHY????
I know I am late on this, but the sleeper looks a lot more like Joe D'Achille from Melbourne than Joe George. Why the &$%^#@ would JG be at this seminar anyway? While he can probate the piss out of an estate, I think JG would tell you he ain't no Gino.
Hey 1:46 - your post was f-ing hilarious. Thanks for a smile on an otherwise depressing Monday-after-a-humiliating-Dolphins-loss.
Sir My client was texting on state time, he was not asleep

You are forgetting that Sleepy Joe is a big fan of the death penalty, and actually a closet Trojan Horse prosecutor. Why shouldn't he sleep through a defense oriented seminar? Keeping the people in his office from doing good work wears him out.
Are you sure he's not just looking down? That hotel is notorious for vermin infestation. I saw a giant mouse in the lobby just recently.
looks similar to that guy in the front row that was snoring loudly through Steve Langs's presentation at this year's facdl crim cert review
I live and practice in Brevard County (Brevard; not Broward). I have known Joe D'Achille since 1988; he is from Titusville. That is not Joe D'Achille.
Joe is a super straight arrow who would never sleep in a seminar. He's the asshole sitting up front taking notes. Joe writes questions for the certification exam and writes briefs like most of us do crosswords. Joe is many things; but he ain't in this picture.
Is Anyone going to take action against Judge Cueto? The administrative judge, the jqc, the mayor ? Anyone can this man show complete disrespect to the bench and to the proffession and have no reprocussions? His comment at bond hearing last week because a Bail bondsman filed a complaint with judge Blake "stepping on his d--k" he shows lack of self control and impulsive behavior is this the kind of person we want determining the consequences of someones actions? He did not know how to keep his personal feelings fir bail bondsman out of the court room and addressed them cursing and proclaiming strengthets not mention he threatened their proffession if these guys go to the media it would be a redicule to our system . Judge cueto does not belong in a court room his manerism needs to be refined
I would like to advise all that if Judge Cueto does not improve his decisions at bond hearing and abide by Florida supreme court rule 3.131 and FSS on violent crimes And criteria for non monetary releases I will go to media The tax payees should know where their money is being spent and the public safety issue this arises the public safety commissioner , the mayor and many other elected officials will find them selves in a tight spot !
TO: Rumpole
FROM: Joe D'Achille, Titusville

By coincidence, I was advised of your blog.
Your sentiments against Mr. George, justified or not, should not turn your blog into a free-for-all. Captain makes a valid point. Be careful not to let this forum generate a bar complaint.
I do not know who Anon 6:03 was, but he was wrong on two accounts. First, the person in the photo is not me for the very simple reason that I was not in attendance at the seminar in question. Second, I am not from Melbourne, but Titusville as was later posted.
You can hold Mr. George up for deserved ridicule I suppose. Please leave me out of it.
Definitely not Joe D'achille for several reasons. First, If Joe says he was not at the seminar, he wasn't!! One of the most honest people you can ever know! Secondly, I have known Joe since we were 15 years old, and do not think he owns a pair of jeans! And if he did, he would be wearing Converse chucky tennis shoes with them! Third, Joe might have a slight gut, but not one that hangs over his belt!!
