David Ovalle @davidovalle305 tweeted that foreman stated split was 8-4 for acquittal.
Reid Ruben, Kat Cortez and Penny Brill for the prosecution.
Phil Reizenstein and Kellie Peterson for the defense.
No word on what happens next.
Dade's famous and long time Medical Examiner, Dr. Joe Davis has passed away. He was 89
Here is the updated and wonderfully written Herald obit on Dr. Davis.
Dr. Davis was the medical examiner for Dade County from 1957-1996. He trained generations of medical examiners, not to mention prosecutors, and probably more than a few defense attorneys. He was a doctor who made a great difference in this community and it is fitting that the ME's office is named after him.
Dr. Davis was a true local hero and an inspriation to all. He gave his time freely to any attorney who wanted to discuss a case with him. I had a medical mal case and dr. davis had done the autopsy. I meet with him for hours and he showed me pictures of the intestines that knocked out the defense theory and the case was won because of dr. davis who never took a fee. The jury completely disregarded the highly paid defense expert and when they saw D. Davis's photos the case was over. I doubt we will ever see such a great man in the ME's office ever again. In his later years I know he was a caregiver to his wife who had medical issues herself. I am saddend by this news

ReplyDeleteDr. Joe Davis = Class. On each and every case I handled that involved his office, and my contact with him, he was always honest, straight forward with his answers and always willing to take the time to explain his position.
More people in his position would do well to handle themselves as honorably and professionally.
Thank you Joe Davis for your dedication to our community.
Joe Davis was a pioneer and mensch. We may never see another like him.

RIP Joe Davis, a Miami historical figure who will be missed by all.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Great One' as he was fondly referred to by many saved a number of our fellow countrymen and women with his forefront approach to prevent injury. He was always willing to listen and discuss cases of all types. As a young police officer, later prosecutor he always helped me with his analysis and reasoning sometimes directing me in a position which influenced a filing decision or a not to file/present. I will always ascribe to his belief to do the right thing for the right reason. May he once again rejoice to being with Mrs. D. God Bless him and all his family.
ReplyDeleteJoe Davis was respected by all. I had a case where the ME buried the wrong body. Joe himself went to the restaurant where the widow worked and personally apologized for the mistake.
ReplyDeleteHe will always be remembered as the ME who could be trusted to tell the truth.
ME's bury bodies? Since when?
ReplyDelete7 :42,
DeleteI was thinking the same thing...
Back in the old days before starbucks, cell phones, and internet porn, a body would lay around for a few days and if no one collected it the ME would come by the SAO with a few six packs and shovels and we would go help dig the hole.
ReplyDeleteAhh the good old days.
Phil Reizenstein is a gentleman and a scholar!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRump- doc said Cipro but I am not sure. What's your take?
ReplyDeleteI have always been in favor of a good full spectrum antibiotic to be used sparingly. Remember to eat some yogurt and take some probiotics as the cipro kills the good biotics and the bad.
