Well, I can finally identify with some of my clients. In my first 41 years of life, I have been relatively injury free. However, that all changed at the AAJ (American Association for Justice) Conference in Philadelphia, PA. On Sunday, July 13, 2008, we decided to run a sponsored 5k (3.1 miles) in Philadelphia. About half of the way through, I was talking to the attorney next to me and not paying attention. At that point, there was a lower area of the sidewalk where a tree was planted, and my left foot folded under, breaking my fibula. Of course,...

Wrongly Convicted Man Released After 26 Years Reporting Derrick Blakley CHICAGO (CBS) The man who spent 26 years in prison for a crime he says he didn't commit was released on bond Friday night. Alton Logan's release was made possible because of two attorneys who this year dropped a bombshell when they admitted Logan was the wrong man convicted of a crime. CBS 2's Derrick Blakley reports Logan had been serving a life sentence for the 1982 murder of a McDonald's security guard. Another man, Andrew Wilson, told his lawyers years ago that he was the real killer. But under...

ERIE, Pa. - Two young girls accused of brutally attacking another girl on a playground are too emotionally immature to understand the criminal charges against them and the charges should be dismissed, their attorneys said. The girls, ages 10 and 11, face aggravated assault and other charges for the attack on another 10-year-old girl at an elementary school playground the evening of April 3. The girls are accused of stomping on the victim and breaking her hip, police said. Erie County Public Defender Tony Logue says he will ask a Juvenile Court judge to dismiss criminal charges against the 10-year-old...

The United States and Mexico need to hammer out a sweeping strategic vision for the future of the two countries, Mexico's attorney general told officials Wednesday. “Security, drug trafficking, immigration, trade and economic intervention are components of that comprehensive vision,” said Eduardo Medina Mora. “We cannot organize just one aspect of that.” Mr. Mora, speaking at the U.S.-Mexico Congressional Border Issues conference at a gathering in the Library of Congress, emphasized the links and connections between many of the issues facing both countries. “The approach on the border has to be a comprehensive one,” he said. “You cannot build trade...

February 2, 2008 -- Might terror-coddling attorney Lynne Stewart get her just deserts after all? It is to be hoped. A three-judge federal appeals panel heard arguments Tuesday from prosecutors seeking a harsher sentence for Stewart, who was given just 28 months in prison in 2006 for smuggling dispatches to and from her terrorist-mastermind client. She could have gotten 30 years. Nevertheless, District Judge John Koeltl decided that Stewart had performed "a public service . . . to the nation" in representing "Blind Sheik" Omar Abdel-Rahman - regardless of any, well . . . overzealousness in his cause.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned, officials said Monday, ending a monthslong standoff with critics who questioned his honesty and competence at the helm of the Justice Department. Republicans and Democrats alike had demanded his resignation over the botched handling of FBI terror investigations and the firings of U.S. attorneys, but President Bush had defiantly stood by his Texas friend until accepting his resignation Frid(AP) — ay, according to senior administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.The Justice Department planned a news conference for 10:30 a.m. EDT, in Washington.

Fred D. Thompson rose to national prominence in the mid-1970s. As chief counsel to the Republicans on the Senate Watergate Committee, he famously asked the question that revealed the existence of the White House taping system that ultimately led to President Richard M. Nixon's resignation. But Mr. Thompson was also an active participant in the White House's efforts to deflect blame from the president and discredit his accusers, plotting strategy with Mr. Nixon's lawyers and leaking information to them.

Alan Dershowitz to defend Noel Gage in federal fraud case Las Vegas attorney Noel Gage has come out swinging in his fight with the federal government, airing a defiant television commercial since his indictment earlier this year and recently adding one of the country's top legal minds to his defense team. Harvard University law professor Alan Dershowitz has signed on to represent Gage, who faces fraud and other charges in connection with what prosecutors have described as a multimillion-dollar scheme to inflate settlements and judgments in personal injury cases. The defendant is tight-lipped about what role Dershowitz will play in...

When Paris Hilton was sprung from jail early, few were as outraged - and as outspoken - as the prosecutor who put her there. But City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo's complaints of a two-tiered jail system where "the rich and powerful receive special treatment" have come to back to haunt him. Among other things, he also admitted sticking the taxpayers with the bill after his wife crashed his city-issued car in 2004, and acknowledged that staffers have occasionally run personal errands and baby-sat his children. The disclosures have led the California bar and the city Ethics Commission to open investigations of...

Kyle Sampson, chief of staff to Atty. Gen. Al Gonzales, wrote an urgent note to White House Counsel Bill Kelly on May 11, 2006, warning that it was time to find potential replacements for U.S. Attorney Carol Lam. In the note, Sampson referred to “[t]he real problem we have right now with Carol Lam that leads me to conclude that we should have someone ready to be nominated 11/18, the day her 4-year term expires,” wrote Sampson, whose recent resignation and testimony have fueled the controversy that may cause Gonzales’ downfall.

Karl Rove fathered Anna Nicole Smith’s baby. In an unforgettable night fueled by alcohol, lust, a lion tamer outfit, a failed attempt to freebase "Sweettarts", an Al Franken blow-up doll and some crimes against nature with a very confused puffer fish, Karl fathered her child. I think we should all be ashamed of Mr. Rove (how much is she worth again?). Now, admittedly, there is no crime in having sex with Anna Nicole Smith. If that were illegal most of the Western Hemisphere’s male population would be perp walked into a future of Federal incarceration that includes forced labor, strained...

When he appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Jan. 18, 2007, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales knew he might be grilled about reports that several U.S. attorneys had been fired as part of a political witch hunt. He decided to strike first. “And so let me publicly sort of pre-empt perhaps a question you're going to ask me,” Gonzales piously told the senators, “and that is: I am fully committed, as the administration's fully committed, to ensure that, with respect to every United States attorney position in this country, we will have a presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed United States attorney.” Gonzales...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Michigan's first female U.S. attorney says she is stepping down, prompting speculation that she is the latest in a wave of resignations forced by the Bush administration. Margaret M. Chiara, 63, said Friday she would resign her position effective March 16, but did not say why. She said in a statement issued by her office that she intends to remain in public service. Chiara was unavailable for comment Friday because she was attending to personal matters, an aide said. Seven other U.S. attorneys have been forced to resign in recent months. Democrats have accused the Bush...

Two San Francisco Chronicle reporters will avoid jail time after a criminal defense lawyer pleaded guilty Wednesday to leaking them secret grand jury documents from the BALCO steroids investigation. Troy Ellerman admitted allowing reporters Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada to view transcripts of the grand jury testimony of baseball stars Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield and sprinter Tim Montgomery, according to court documents. The Chronicle published stories in 2004 that reported Giambi and Montgomery admitted taking steroids while Bonds and Sheffield testified that they didn't knowingly take performance enhancing drugs. A federal judge ordered the reporters jailed after they...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has hired Los Angeles celebrity attorney Martin Singer for legal work. Reid, D-Nev., paid Singer $25,000 on Dec. 14 from his senatorial campaign account, according to his most recent Federal Election Commission report.

Reid's spokesman, Jon Summers, said Singer was hired to help Reid respond to a story by The Associated Press that was critical of a Las Vegas land deal involving the senator. He said Reid got approval from the Senate Ethics Committee for the expenditure. Singer did not immediately return a...

In their rural farmhouse, the kitchen table is filled with letters of support, after Kenny Englund, 74, help police catch two people stealing gasoline from a neighbors property. “I waved my shotgun at them and I said, ‘Stay right there, I’m calling the sheriff,’” Englund said. The Isanti County Sheriff says Englund crossed a line. “Unless your physical life is threatened, you should not take the law into your own hands,” Sheriff Mike Ammend said. “They booked me into jail, fingerprinted, mugshot – the whole ball of wax,” Englund said. Englund was not charged the day of the incident, but...

The mother of a boy convicted Friday in the gang rape of an 11-year-old girl on Labor Day told a judge the girl was also to blame and that her son was the victim of "little flipper girls" who think it's cool to have sex with multiple partners. That prompted Milwaukee County Children's Court Judge Mary Triggiano to abruptly interrupt her. "What he did was rape that girl," Triggiano said, calling the deflection of responsibility to the girl appalling. "He got caught. He didn't take responsibility until something pegged him

Gale Norton is back providing oversight of energy development issues on public lands in the American West, this time as a key legal advisor for a major global oil company. Months after she resigned her cabinet post as President Bush's Interior Secretary—and then seemed to disappear from public view—the Coloradan apparently has accepted an offer to serve as counsel for Royal Dutch Shell PLC. Shell, one of the world's largest producers of oil, was also one of the companies that Norton's Interior Department routinely engaged on matters of drilling in sensitive ecological settings. According to Dow Jones Market Watch, which...

After a botched execution that took 34 minutes to end a convicted murderer’s life, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has suspended all death sentences until a commission can review lethal-injection procedures “to ensure they don’t inflict cruel and unusual punishment on their helpless victims.” In a gesture of goodwill, Florida’s leading association of murderers also announced a temporary hold on premeditated and/or serial killings as well as brutal rapes, according to a spokesman, “until we can determine if some of our victims experience discomfort or pain.” The Sunshine State Coalition of Capital Criminals released the statement through its ACLU attorney, pledging...

A man playing golf at a Lemont, Ill., country club claims he received a concussion from a ball hit by a prominent personal-injury lawyer.

Wednesday, October 25, 2006 And ANOTHER lying liberal blogger Over here (sorry about the bad formatting on that post), I talk about how liberals lie about what Rush said and did on a specific episode of his tv show so many years ago and go into great depth with many examples.

When he is corrected in the comments section of his blog: "This is the guy who held up a picture of Chelsea Clinton and called her a dog, when she was still a young teen." Didnt happen that...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York attorney convicted of aiding terrorism by helping an imprisoned Egyptian client smuggle messages to militant followers was sentenced on Monday to 28 months in prison. Lynne Stewart, 67, was convicted in February 2005 of helping her client, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, to contact the Islamic Group, which the U.S. government lists as a terrorist organization. Prosecutors said messages Stewart passed on for Abdel-Rahman could have incited violence in Egypt. The sheikh was convicted in 1995 of conspiring to attack U.S. targets in a plot prosecutors said included the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Stewart,...

Defense attorney Rusty Hardin, whose high-profile client list includes former Houston Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich and former Police Chief C.O. Bradford, was robbed at gunpoint outside his home in West University Place early Saturday morning, authorities said. Hardin, who is currently representing Mayor Bill White's teenage daughter in a drunken-driving case, said he got home after midnight Friday after having dinner with his wife and some clients.

Texas is scheduled to execute a convict today whose lawyer filed an appeal with incoherent repetitions, rambling arguments and language clearly lifted from one of his previous cases, so that at one point it described the wrong crime... Perhaps most striking, the pleadings for Fuller copied wording from an appeal Wilkinson filed for a different client, Henry Earl Dunn, in an unrelated case. As a result, it complains about testing for blood on a gun used by Dunn's co-defendant seven years earlier.

A civil rights attorney known for his police brutality lawsuits pleaded not guilty Monday to federal tax evasion charges. "I plead presumed innocent," Stephen Yagman said, reading a statement in federal court. "But I don't intend that to be construed to dignify the politically motivated, retaliatory charges." Yagman, 61, is accused of trying to avoid paying more than $100,000 in income taxes between 1998 and 2002. Prosecutors claim he hid about $617,000 he received from his mother and elderly relatives in New York, $24,000 in royalties from his legal writings, and transferred ownership of his 2,800 square-foot house near the...

PHOENIX -- The state Supreme Court has refused to allow a Texas attorney to practice law in Arizona because he served time for attempted murder before becoming a lawyer. The court ruled 4-1 Wednesday against Lee Keller King, who practiced personal-injury law in Texas for nearly 10 years before his law firm transferred him to its Phoenix office in 2003. "I'm very disappointed, and I have to hope there's a higher purpose being served," King said. King passed the state bar exam and applied for admittance to the State Bar of Arizona but was turned down by the state Supreme...

The couple stopped in the 800 block of Bridgeview Drive in...

San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders has indicated that he would fight hard to save the Mount Soledad cross. He also indicated that “The courts have routinely approved secular monuments that have crosses as an element of the (war memorial) monument.” This is not a true statement. There is not one single federal or California case that has ever approved the permanent placement of a cross on federal land, state land or city land, monument or no monument, war memorial or no war memorial. Quite the contrary, there are 10 c ases that have ruled on the permanent presence of crosses...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 2006 – The U.S. attorney general called today's indictment of three Ohio men who conspired to kill U.S. citizens overseas, particularly military forces in Iraq, another indication that the United States must remain vigilant in fighting terrorism. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced indictments against three men he said were part of a terrorist conspiracy that has operated in Toledo, Ohio, over the past year.

The disciplinary arm of the N.C. State Bar dropped charges of felonious misconduct against two former Union County prosecutors Friday because of a 1999 clerical error at the state Supreme Court. The State Bar had charged Kenneth Honeycutt and Scott Brewer with lying, cheating and withholding evidence in a 1996 death penalty case.

The N.C. State Bar has challenged the dismissal of disciplinary charges against two former Union County prosecutors, saying they committed felonies to win a death penalty conviction. Kenneth Honeycutt and Scott Brewer were charged with lying, cheating and withholding evidence in the 1996 murder trial. Honeycutt, the former district attorney in Union County, has since returned to private practice; Brewer is now a District Court judge in Richmond County. Last week, the bar's Disciplinary Hearing Commission cited a missed deadline in dismissing the case against them. But the bar's lawyers say there is no deadline to bring charges because the...

Prosecutors, defense attorneys, probation officers, and members of the public must ask for headphones, if available, to have the proceedings translated into English. Very little is recorded, so it...

A federal court will soon sentence attorney Lynne Stewart to prison for "providing material support" to terrorists, among related charges.[1] The charges center upon her assistance to Egyptian sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman who, from a federal prison cell in Minnesota, has continued his quest both to install an Islamist government in Egypt and to kill Americans and Jews around the world. Stewart's case is symbolic of a corollary battle in the war against terror and highlights the need not only to counter terrorism but also the ideology of Islamism. Her infatuation with her client's cause evolved into an example of...

Anti-Christian Hostility Driving 'War on Christmas,' Attorney Says By Jim Brown December 7, 2005 (AgapePress) - A Christian attorney says recent acts of censorship indicate Christmas is under attack in public schools across the United States. One Ohio high school principal, for example, recently renamed the school's Christmas tree and concert a "holiday tree" and a "holiday concert."

Oral arguments in a health care case ended abruptly Wednesday when Los Angeles lawyer Robert Olson collapsed to the floor during a brutal barrage of unfriendly questioning. First District Court of Appeal Justices Carol Corrigan and Stuart Pollak had verbally hammered Olson for several minutes when he apparently fainted.

A private attorney for the city of San Diego's pension fund was shocked when he found out about a plan to boost retirement benefits for a labor union president, and he said that alone could squelch the 2002 deal with the city to continue underfunding the pension system.

Bush to let the Texas high court rather than the Legislature decide if attorney fees should be limited. In the process, Miers unleashed a verbal assault on trial lawyers who typically file lawsuits and whose cases sometimes land in the U.S. Supreme Court, where Bush now has nominated her to serve. She suggested they were "greedy" and had "brought shame" on Texas. As a corporate attorney in 1995,...
