DOM posted the link to watch HRH Roy Black in trial live in West Palm. The link is here.
Fed prosecutors tuning in have been confused: they can't understand why a case agent is not sitting at the prosecutor's table. "Prosecutors try cases by themselves in State Court? The next thing you know State courts won't punish defendants for testifying and losing."
When we last left Attorney Ira Still III shortly after his motion for attorneys fees was argued in Broweird, Judge Matthew "Money Ball" Destry had awarded Mr. Still a total of $20,000.00 for two cases that he tried and won. Mr. Still was seeking about $110,000.00.
Still filed a petition for writ of certiorari and the 4th DCA granted it here; vacated the trial court's order, and remanded the case for proceedings consistent with paying Mr. Still more than $13.00 per hour.
A Rumpolian "Well Done" Mr. Still. Well done indeed.
We're back!
Other than blanket objections to every motion filed, I'd like to see a JAC attorney try a case. And try one at 13 per hour at that.
ReplyDeletedamn I wanted to be first. Oh well I;m Avis I'll try harder.

Roy is getting ready to cross the State Accident Investigator/reconstructionist - should be interesting to watch, the guy was very good on direct.
ReplyDeleteNever mind, some other guy
ReplyDeleteIt was a poorly worded question, but in any case, how is it 'calling for hearsay'when the question is "what type of evidence did you collect that demonstrates the defendant had more than three drinks?" Possible answer: "I gathered three witness statements from Witness A, B and C; together with a scientific report prepared by Witness D." This is not a hearsay response, b/c the witness is not testifying to the contents of the witness's statements.
ReplyDeleteIt calls for inferential hearsay, in violation of the Molina/Postell line of cases, by suggesting that non testifying W's told the LEO that D was drunk.
DeleteDo you know if the trial is actually televised? What channel?
ReplyDeleteRumpole, can you quote the opinions of the 3rd DCA as easily as the plays of Sir Wm. Shakespeare?
ReplyDeleteI can:
ReplyDeleteThe Constitution of the United States does not allow for the imposition of criminal sanctions for "making a scene."
Name the case, and the author!
BTW it's a footnote.
