Neither Milton nor Gail were responsible for Casey's drinking. Neither were driving the car. Neither fled the country. <br /><br />Perhaps Casey (and you all) should stop complaining about everyone else and look at Casey's actions. When he can't step forward and say "I'm innocent" or take any responsibility whatsoever for his actions (did Milton FORCE him to leave the country? I think not) I'm not terribly impressed with your defense of him or his character.<br /><br />BTDT<br /><br />PS----I'm guessing you're not an attorney, since you obviously know nothing about Gail. Ask someone who has dealt with her. Gail is one of the best lawyers this county has ever seen and is a fighter. She harbors no great love for defense counsel. And, she certainly isn't gun shy. She'd have no problem retrying this case. Part of my difficulty with your comments (and Casey's) is that you all can't seem to defend his actions without slamming anyone and everyone who has touched the case (save the people currently fighting for him). That's pathetic. You're so quick to malign long-standing and hard working public servants and so slow to acknoweledge (let alone regret) Casey's misconduct (there simply is NO defense for fleeing).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-26335860396240603672011-02-22T17:30:07.839-05:002011-02-22T17:30:07.839-05:00BTDT - Didn't prosecutor Levine lie in court a...BTDT - Didn't prosecutor Levine lie in court as well?

From what I understand, Hirsch was on their side during the evidentiary hearing. The State did not want to reopen the case (think of all the work they would have to go through). The prosecutor (Levine) knows Hirsch and Rappaport lied in court under oath. One member of the SAO office said in a letter that the tapes are “quite shocking.” Why would he say that about someone who was on Hirsch’s team? Someday the tapes will become unsealed and then everyone will know the truth. We can debate this over and over, but the truth will eventually come out. It always does in the end. This is not going to go away. I, and many others, support Casey. <br /><br />P.S. Two prominent defense attorneys know the truth and have proffered in court that Hirsch lied under oath. Are they lying too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-14936785871101720412011-02-22T08:30:37.568-05:002011-02-22T08:30:37.568-05:00In a state where the governor bought his position ...In a state where the governor bought his position with stolen money, I can't see how anyone would care if a Judge borrowed money from someone to run a campaign.<br /><br />Just a thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-16886240058099747132011-02-21T15:11:18.711-05:002011-02-21T15:11:18.711-05:00Markus will learn that once jurors separate for a ...Markus will learn that once jurors separate for a long time, it becomes extremely difficult to obtain a not guilty verdict.

The DNA doesn't clear him, despite what you think (plenty of defendants produce experts to proclaim their innocence............experts who are often proven wrong). Even Casey admits the "possibility" that he was driving. http://www.freeseancasey.org/PR-4-26.pdf. <br /><br />And stop acting as if Casey bears no responsibility for his fleeing the country. Regardless of what Milton did or didn't tell him, Casey is the one who actually carried out the act. <br /><br />BTDT<br /><br />PS---If I didn't spend so much time around the Justice Building, I'd find it ironic that a man (Casey) who begs others to not rush to judgment against him is so quick to speculate on the motives of the folks he thinks are reponsible for his predicament (ie. Levine and Glick). I also have little doubt that if Levine found something on the tapes that would have allowed her to prosecute Hirsch she would have done so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-806156559447547042011-02-21T09:26:05.360-05:002011-02-21T09:26:05.360-05:0010:20

Judge Colodny had exactly the same issues, ten years have passed, the State was hoping that Judge Colodny’s case would still be hanging around when they tried this one, so that they could intimidate her. Alas, it was not. Then, when it went to back-up, they were hoping to get Judge "they're all guilty particularly the Black ones" Scola, the meanest. most biased, marginally bright tool of the State ever to sit on the bench, and didn’t luck out. So they would like to recuse Judge Rodriguez so they can go to their favorite situs, where they don’t even have to show up to insure a conviction.<br />You can bet Kathy was all over this. No legal questions to confuse her, just pure politics. Someone should file a grievance against Scruggs for draffing Judge Rodriguez's name through teh mud like he did. Now, was unnecessary. Guess they want to taunt her. They have picked the wrong judge.

There is an impression at the State Attorney's Office that Judge Rodriguez is "pro-defense" because she is fair and doesn't launch every defendant.

Then KFR loses clout with the black community (which she tries to maintain with her bullshit "community prosecutions" division.).
