If they do not get quality legal representation at the trial level it increases the chance of the conviction being overturned on appeal or for ineffective assistance of counsel.Governor: Mr. Attorney General isn't the standard for a conviction being overturned for ineffective counsel that the counsel has to have been so deficient as to amount to the equivalent of no counsel, that you would of been better off without an attorney and represent yourself? Attorney General:That is correct sir. Governor: And isn't it the responsibility of the judge to insure no reversible error and competent counsel. AG: Correct again sir. Governor: So money really isn't the issue- they are not entitled to a great lawyer or perfect trial- they are entitled to a competent attorney. Its like the NBA- you have your 24 all stars, 150 who are in the starting lineups, and the other 210 are still the best in the world give or take a few. So give an attorney with a valid license, criminal trial experience and not an active drug addict. If he wants better he should have saved for a rainy day or been nicer to his family. What have we got to lose- 1 out of 1000 cases overturned 10 years down the road or 1 out of 1000 where the lawyer is deemed ineffective and a new trial is ordered. I'll take those chances, especially since I won't be in office 10 years from now and this way we save 50 Million a year. We need to start building that rail system in central Florida- the people in Orlando and Tampa can't handle traffic the way south Floridians can-their my base anyway. And if the criminal defense attorneys play tough we just call them scum for defending the guilty-90% of the state trusts cops-they aren't aware and don't care about all the corruption in Miami.

He appears to have purchased a condo at The Loft for $137,000 and sold it within a month, realizing a profit approaching 6 figures." <BR/><BR/>'Lorenzo told CBS4 news partner The Miami Herald that the transaction did not happen as quickly as the auditors say. "I bought it before they even broke ground," Lorenzo said, "I took a risk like anybody else and I paid my deposit and that was it. . . . It wasn't exactly a gift."' <BR/><BR/>Read complete story: http://cbs4.com/topstories/local_story_120190145.html<BR/><BR/><BR/>In response to the story, Political Strategist and Guru Bob Levy stated in private that he will call Kathy and defend Al Lorenzo from the clutches of the SAO. This way, he will assure a stable financial income in the next election for himself, Al and re-election for Kathy as she needs Al's political machine. Thus, reviving his (Bob's) relationship with Al Lorenzo.<BR/><BR/>Kathy was heard saying that she would first help Mayor MaroƱo, then Al as she gets ready to hand over 100K to Bob "The Guru" Levy for her campaign. Regardless of the baggage and dislike he brings to her campaign. "If he writes another bad check, Ulisis will pay him a visit with Don" she said.<BR/><BR/>Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales was outraged and demanded to be prosecuted by Kathy so he could become Governor of Florida in 2010 and by a Loft next to the Aide of Commissioner Joe Sanchez.<BR/><BR/>Please stay tuned for more drama and suspense from Al, Bob and Kathy in another episode of "City Wheel of Fortune!"

A media expose was done in the days of Gross, Gelber, Mastos, etc. The result: the judges hung around the courthouses a few hours more each day for a few months. Then it was back to business as usual. They resumed their long lunches, afternoon golf games, shopping, etc. Nothing much will come of this. After all, how big a deal is this in the overall scheme of things when judges have been involved in taking bribes, attempting to have witnesses murdered, having out in the open affairs with other married court personnel or worse yet, defendants/former defendants?

Rehabilitation will follow, and Ginn said there's no guarantee he'll be ready to practice when camp begins in three months. <BR/><BR/>"It's whatever the training staff says," the speedy Ohio State receiver-returner said. "I hope that I'm going to be able to be there day one." <BR/><BR/><BR/>Ginn will miss mini-camp May 4-6, but the Dolphins said they expect Ginn to be healthy for the start of training camp. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"We feel good about Ted's foot," general manager Randy Mueller said. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Ginn was hurt in the BCS national championship game Jan. 8 after returning the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown against Florida.
