The Thing About Woody
Would a child lie? Are you really a pedophile apologist? These are things that would be said, and not pleasantly, to anyone who questioned the guilt of Virginia McMartin. But she was vilified, even though it was later recognized that she was completely innocent and the crimes of which she was accused never happened. Cathy Young braved the mob as it stormed Woody Allen’s gate. The 82-year-old actor and filmmaker has long been haunted by allegations that he molested his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, more than a quarter-century ago, when she was just seven years old. In 2014, Farrow wrote an open letter with the accusation, and yet the controversy quickly settled down, leaving Allen largely unscathed. But now it’s 2018, and we live in a different world. At the time, Dylan Farrow’s allegations were determined to be unfounded, which failed to convince many but was sufficient to end the inquiry. Obviously, none of this proves Allen is innocent. But it…

Can Trump Invoke Executive Privilege in Mueller Probe?
Trump’s executive privilege allows him to decline an interview with Robert Mueller’s FBI Russian collusion investigation. Executive privilege is the power of the President of the United States to withhold information from Congress, the courts, and the public. Trump can even invoke his executive privilege if he is subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury, likely sparking an intense court battle over whether a president can be compelled to answer questions under oath. Even if Trump exerts his executive privilege avoid a Mueller interview or grand jury subpoena, he can still be indicted or arrested. Will Trump Invoke the Executive Privilege with Robert Mueller? It’s probable. As the Mueller probe continues to intensify, recent reports suggest that President Trump’s attorneys are advising him to not agree to an interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Trump would be able to do this by invoking a rarely used constitutional defense–the executive…

CA11: The exact description in the SW was incorrect, but the attachment cured it
“Importantly, the warrant itself refers only to ‘[t]he premises located at: 1701 Bainbridge Avenue, Pensacola, Florida 32507.’ Although Attachment A incorrectly attributes that address to the trailer, the photo and description support the conclusion that the trailer and building are … Continue reading →

Tigano’s Seven-Year Itch
When the Second Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed with prejudice the indictment in United States v. Tigano for a seven-year delay in trying the case, during which Joseph Tigano was detained, there was applause but little commentary. The opinion, recounting his adjournments, read like a series of unfortunate events, each one of which could be explained or questioned, but happen in the ordinary course of a case. It was the totality, that added up to seven years of delay for a guy who kept demanding a trial, that took the case over the top. To add insult to injury, it was a marijuana case, which was still very much illegal despite the societal amnesia of the wonderfully woke Obama years. A vision of the case has now developed that provides an explanation for what happened to Tigano. Jeffrey Bellin at Slate explained. While the appeals court and subsequent media portrayals suggest that prompt trials are the solution to cases like Tigano’s, the real fix is long-delayed,…

How to Negotiate a Custody Agreement
A custody agreement is a contract between you and your child’s other parent that spells out how you will share custody of your child. These contracts can be stand-alone documents or part of a separation agreement. Once both parties have agreed to a custody agreement, it can be submitted to the court for approval. There are many benefits to using a custody agreement, mainly that you avoid the costs and stress involved in litigation and that you and your child’s other parent stay in control of the process. If you can’t successfully negotiate a parenting plan, then the court will have to decide your child custody case. Provisions in Your Parenting Plan A parenting plan determines which parent has custody of your child, but there are actually two types of custody: physical custody and legal custody. Physical custody refers to the actual, physical care of the child or children. One parent can have primary physical custody, or the parents can have joint physical…

Many of my clients have never needed a lawyer before, so it’s not unusual to be concerned about the costs involved. But as I’ve written about before, you can afford to hire a lawyer! The most important question Before we look at the actual legal fees involved in your case, there’s a more important question you need to be asking: What’s at stake for you? Some reckless tickets are more serious than others. And some clients have more at stake depending upon the outcome. What’s on the line for you? These are the types of questions you need to be asking lawyers when you interview us: What punishments are you looking at? What outcomes may be possible when working with an experienced reckless driving lawyer like myself? Is jail time a serious risk or not? This gives you a framework to understand…

“Biggest Massachusetts Drug Bust” – Just Part of Failure of ‘War on Drugs’
Attorney General Maura Healey announced yesterday that a massive statewide fentanyl bust on Thursday, yielding 77 pounds of other drugs, including heroin, cocaine and opiate tablets, as well as $300,000 in cash. Law enforcement officials claimed that enough fentanyl was seized to possibly kill every person in Massachusetts. A dramatic description, for certain. The six-month wiretap operation, conducted by a joint task force of federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents, the Massachusetts AG’s office, Boston police and other law enforcement agencies, resulted in the seizure of the drugs and the arrest of 37 separate suspects, including the alleged local kingpin, Robert Contreras of Roxbury. Contreras has been ordered held on $1 million bail on felony drug charges. The Boston Herald, quoting prosecutors, reported that evidence indicates that Contreras’ organization would receive the drugs from a much larger wholesaler, Mexico’s brutal Sinaloa cartel, them…
