FATAL VISION

BREAKING: Fleur Lobree and Alan Fine are your new circuit court judges. And for Judge Lobree, currently of the county court (say that three times fast) her appointment to the Circuit Court, in the face of her loss at the polls in August to retain her County Court seat, is - in  keeping with the season- a Lazarus like arising from the judicial trash heap of judges who couldn't defend their seat. Life rarely gives you second chances, much less third bites of the apple.

Good Friday Morning. This is your second to last working Friday of the year. Will anyone get roped into appearing in court on Friday the 28th? If so, time for a refresher course  on your litigation skills. 
10 Shopping days until Christmas. 17 days until we tumble over the fiscal cliff.  And just for perspective, 201 days until the fourth of July, 2013. 

Is Alan Fine your newest Circuit Judge? 

Bogus butts?  Deleterious derrieres? The Herald reports that another clinic in Miami has been illegally enhancing the less than bountiful bottoms of the fairer sex of Hialeah. The article is here. 

Anybody in trial besides the lawyers in Judge Tinkler-Mendez's division? 

Remember the Jeffrey MacDonald case? Green Beret doctor convicted of killing his wife and daughters? MacDonald's guilt was presumably exposed in the book and television movie Fatal Vision. The case has gone on and on. Back and forth to the Supreme Court. Now, for perhaps the last time, MacDonald, aged 68, and Brian Murtagh age 66 and the last remaining original prosecutor on the case, are squaring off in court again. Because of the new book "A Wilderness of Error",  MacDonald has a new, and in all likelihood final, evidentiary hearing. The Washington Post portrays this fascinating battle between two men for forty years here. 

A case lasting forty years? Talk about your career case. 

See You In Court.
