Her husband, Alex Paez, 48, was earlier charged with the same counts and is scheduled for trial in December.<br /><br />The two — who travel across the country to compete in body-building competitions — were arrested on similar horse-abuse charges four years ago. The charges were dropped after they completed a “pre-trial intervention” program for first-time offenders.<br /><br />Paez’s lawyer, Alexander Michaels, on Friday said the newest charges “were no big deal.”<br /><br />“I wish the police would spend more time on human victims, and child victims, than on horses who skipped a meal,” Michaels said. BTW Alex these horses are far from just skipping a meal, further animal abuse is just a start for human abusers.<br /><br />Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article41229912.html#storylink=cpyAmynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-2543158767300290892014-06-08T09:21:02.461-04:002014-06-08T09:21:02.461-04:00Lawyers suck.

The practice of law is a profession that deals with rules and no attorney, or judge, should tolerate the violation of those very rules. <br /><br />As far as the antics of Alex Michaels, they are not cute or amusing, they are offensive and they should not be tolerated just because it is Alex and he somehow operates under a different set of rule. If anyone violates the Rules of Professional Ethics we all share, we have an obligation to to file a complaint with the Florida Bar, failure to file such a complaint is a violation in and of itself. Short of that, a judge has the right to take the necessary steps to control his, or her, courtroom and although Contempt is one of the tools in their toolbox, it should be reserved for only the most serious of violations. A good judge is able to control the actions of their courtroom without resorting to Contempt. That being said, Alex needs to be reigned in and he needs to comport himself in an appropriate manner.<br /><br />The issue of Brady material isa very important one because it goes to the very core of our system of justice. Prosecutors are wield tremendous powers and are given a sacred responsibilities. No attorney should have the "win at all costs" mentality. The sacred duty of every member of the Bar is to zealously represent their respective clients within the confines of the rules and the facts of a case are the facts of a case, good or bad. A prosecutor must abide by the rules and deal with whatever hand they are dealt. Janet Reno's approach to Discovery was that you turn over everything except your notes-period! She strongly believed in open Discovery and if your case was strong enough to prevail in the end, then so be it; if not, then you lose and either way, justice is served. There can be no toleration for any prosecutor who willfully withholds evidence as it constitutes a clear abuse of power.<br /><br />We, as members of the Bar, must not tolerate any violations, if we do, we are belittling our very own profession. It is not an issue of government v. defense, it is the soul of our very profession.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-33100233830980493812013-05-23T06:59:28.895-04:002013-05-23T06:59:28.895-04:00When did that happen?

When I found out their response to the court was "it wasn't exclupatory so we don't have to turn it over". Dismissing for the moment that 3.220 specifically states they have to turn over these statements, think about what that means. Any inculpatory info- dna, fingerprints, police reports, anything not exculpatory the state is on the record saying they do not have to turn over. Bizzare.

Due process (Brady, etc.) only requires a prosecutor to turn over exculpatory and impeachment information that's material. <br /><br />Discovery is a creature of statute. There is no general constitutional right to discovery.<br /><br />3.220 does not apply to closed cases (it's a discovery statute). Further, a prosecutor's notes regarding a statement are not discoverable unless the prosecutor directly quotes a witness (and, even then, only the quoted language is turned over).<br /><br />Generally speaking, a prosecutor's notes are not discoverable (of course, if they contain exculpatory of impeachment information, that's different).<br /><br />BTDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-52062017487334835392013-05-22T01:14:29.531-04:002013-05-22T01:14:29.531-04:00TO BTDT @8:02

And, he did that for nothing.<br /><br />Alex cares for his clients and fights like hell on their behalf.

Both the lawyers are well into their late 40's early 50's. <br /><br />That scandal with the secret service at the whorehouse in Colombia? Three Miami lawyers were there at the time and I must know two dozen lawyers who have traveled to Colombia to have sex with young women in their 20's. <br /><br />Lawyers who sleep with the staff? You can't spit without hitting one in line to get into the courthouse. The bigger scandal is lawyers sleeping with their client's or their client's wives or daughters.

So this is an issue- or call it a problem.
