LIFE IN PRISON

That was the jury recommendation Thursday night for Grady Nelson, a defendant before Judge Jackie Scola in a trial that has been going on for the last several weeks. A great defense was set forth by Terry Lenamon and David S. Markus and they saved this man's life.

The facts of this troubling case are quite frankly too troubling to be detailed here in public.

Lawyers who handle death penalty cases will be watching this appeal closely as the defense was allowed to present QEEG evidence over the strident objections of the prosecution, although with the life verdict Rumpole is not sure if the prosecution can raise the issue on a cross appeal on a case that will now be appealed only on the guilt phase issues.

Abbe Rifkin did her normal great job for the prosecution, and the people of Dade County should be thankful for prosecutors like her and Joel Rosenblatt and Hilah Mendez who also worked on the prosecution's case.

Meanwhile in Broward the Leyritz DUI came to an end yesterday with a sentence of probation and community service. An amazing job by Bogenschutz comes to a successful end.

Enjoy your weekend, football picks Sunday. See You In Court.

  1. I think the fact that the you won't explain the gruesome details of this case proves why death should have been recommended.

  4. 804- this was clearly a death penalty case from the facts I know and i am surprised the state did not get a recommendation of death.

    12:49- it's a long season for a team 3 games better than 500. They remain a staggering disappointment.

  5. QEEG is a computer analysis of around 19 channels of simultaneous EEG recording under controlled conditions including 3-dimensional source imaging. Otherwise known as "brain mapping."

  8. Herald story about a defendant missing an arraignment on 12/3/2010and getting immediately arrested will turn on his attorney Edward O'Donell not properly filing the notice of appearance.

    Good fucking job eddy!

  9. I don't think that people really appreciate the job Bogenschutz did in the Leyritz case. I know the man. I respect the man. This was one of the best defense jobs ever done. Period.
