He said he used his clients as "guinea pigs" to see what type of defense might be swallowed by a jury. He also represented the so called "Bird Road Rapist" who got convicted. This poor guy was later to be found to be completely innocent. Guess that jury was not bribed. For my money I would hire Jack Denaro or Bill Clay if I ever needed top trial counsel.Just my 2 cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-18192442679463344782017-05-17T20:37:58.849-04:002017-05-17T20:37:58.849-04:00The award winners were fair.

To me, they are turning him into an underdog, which in the end will make him more popular. he will be president for eight years. The idea that he committed obstruction of justice in connection with his meeting with the Russian ambassador is a perfect example. I voted for Clinton.

I believe Roy Black was a PD for about 7 years? Did he not represent the "downtrodden" then? Has he done nothing in his career (other than make you jealous of his success) to deserve recognition.

On some occasions when he had important conversations with Spanish speaking appointed clients he would ask me to interpret for him as he felt that a lawyer would better convey the meaning. His conversations with his clients were not just about the law and whether to plea, he was kind, he was respectful, he was wise and possessed a rare grace and bearing. I still remember the life advice he gave and wonder if he knew how impacted I was. I knew he had been a state senator but his humility kept him from talking about his momentous achievements. I am not surprised he associated with Camelot. My life was enriched by his friendship. Rest in peace my friend I will never forget you.Juan Gonzaleznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-13901453579871262772017-05-16T14:10:22.963-04:002017-05-16T14:10:22.963-04:00I agree with 10:46.

Still not a bad idea. He was a gentleman and fought for his clients in a quiet but effective way. As for Harold, I knew him as a young PD/ He was effective in court and trials. He was voted the most handsome man in Miami at one point although I never quit understood why. He was far too young to pass so quickly. I wonder what caused his death and what he had been doing in the past years. I haven't seen him around in a long time.

He was one of a kind. Always idealistic, yet always cool. A great friend. And let's not forget: one of the top ten most eligible bachelors in Dade County (back in the days of Tropic Magazine).
