Los Angeles lawyers insist on client's release
Posted Mar 07, 2014 on siouxcityjournal.com Blair Berk and Leonard Levine, defense lawyers in Los Angeles, are arguing for the release of their client, Darren Sharper, who used to play in the National Football League.

Famous dealer of wine convicted for fraudPosted Dec 19, 2013 on au.news.yahoo.com The jury returned a guilty verdict against Rudy Kurniawan, a star wine collector, for faking vintage wines, which he apparently just manufactured from his home. Kurniawan was convicted for fraud and is looking at a massive 40-year sentence. Kurniawan was once known as among the top five collectors of wine in the world. Prosecutors accused Kurniawan of earning millions from selling and auctioning fake vintage wines. Found in the home that Kurniawan shared with his mother were unlabeled bottles and labels of Burgundy and Bordeaux wines. Suspicions against Kurniawan started during an auction in 2008 wherein he offered to sell Domaine Ponsot wines. But it wasn't until a 2012 wine auction in London that Kurniawan was arrested. Los Angeles criminal lawyer Jerome Mooney, defending for Kurniawan, said his client was not trying to defraud people. Instead, all he wanted was to belong. Stepdad found guilty of killing daughtersPosted Jul 08, 2013 on ourweekly.com Robert Lee Phillips was convicted of killing his two stepdaughters in a 2006 birthday celebration for one of the victims. Jurors found the 66-year-old South Los Angeles man guilty of murder in the first degree for the shooting death of Sabrina Taylor, 30, and murder in the second degree for the death of Charlotte Johnson, 33. Phillips was also found guilty of attempting to kill two other people during the incident. The jury had agreed with the Prosecutors that it was clear that Phillips had the intentions of committing the murders to pay the two women for their acts towards him all those years. This was countered by Louis Sepe, the defense attorney from Los Angeles, who questioned what was his client's motive when he never even lived with the victims. The incident stemmed from an argument that they were having over the kind of music that was played at the party. Phillips is looking at a life sentence with no chance of parole. Ex-cab driver agrees to plea deal in murder chargesPosted Jan 13, 2014 on blog.al.com A plea deal agreement has Broderick Kenyo Smith admitting to manslaughter instead of capital murder in the death of Arlando Maurice Pritchett in 2012. The plea agreement will have Smith serving just a year in jail for a split sentence of 10 years. His jail stay will be followed with probation for three years. Should Smith violate his probation, he could be made to serve the rest of his 10-year sentence. According to the police, Pritchett had an argument with a cab driver prior to his shooting while Smith admitted that he had been driving a cab during the time of the incident. Birmingham defense attorney Charles Salvagio said Smith had shot Pritchett because the latter had robbed him. NFL player's non-cooperation sees theft charges dropped against woman who stole his jewelry Posted Dec 18, 2013 on articles.sun-sentinel.com Theft charges against Subhanna Beyah were dropped after her victim, New York Giants' Shaun Rogers, refused to cooperate with the authorities. Jonathan Meltz, Beyah's lawyer in Miami, could not be contacted to comment on the issue. Miami prosecutors believed that Beyah did to Rogers what she did to two other men, wherein she drugged them before stealing their valuables. According to the police, Rogers had met Beyah at the nightclub of the hotel where he was staying. Together with another couple, they had gone up to his room where he went to sleep while the others were partying. Before he went to sleep, he put his jewelry inside a safe in the room. When he woke up, Beyah was already gone and so was his jewelry worth almost $500,000. Rogers had told the prosecution that he was not willing to cooperate during the one time he spoke with them. Despite the failure of the theft charges to prosper, the prosecution instead will go ahead with charging Beyah for violating her probation wherein she is looking at a 20-year prison sentence if convicted. Former prosecutor sentenced to 10 days for wrongful convictionPosted Nov 14, 2013 on www.statesman.com Ken Anderson, the former District Attorney of Williamson County, was meted with a 10-day jail term after the judge accepted his no-contest plea for the charge of contempt of court. The charge steamed from the wrongful conviction of Michael Morton who was found guilty for the murder of his wife in 1986 and was sentenced to life imprisonment. However, in 2011, Morton's conviction was overturned using DNA as proof that he did not kill his wife. In the light of that development, Anderson, who had prosecuted Morton's case, was scrutinized and was determined to have erred when he withheld evidence which would have been beneficial for Morton's defense. Aside from the short jail stay, Anderson will also have to give up his license as a lawyer and as part of the plea bargain, he will also be disbarred for five years. Austin attorney Eric Nichols, however, pointed out that there will be no conviction for Anderson on any criminal charge. Morton, for his part, said he is more than happy with the result because all he wanted was for Anderson not to practice law anymore to prevent what happened to him from happening to anyone else again. Anderson was also fined and made to do community service. Former deputy gets five years for punching teenagerPosted Oct 07, 2013 on www.denverpost.com David Morrow, who used to be the deputy of the Adams County, has been handed a five-year prison sentence for punching a teenager who was strapped to a gurney. Morrow said he was sorry that the teenager was hurt because of what he did. The teenager was causing a disturbance to which Morrow and other police officers have responded. The police decided to take the teenager to the hospital because he was intoxicated and was being belligerent. However, while he was strapped to a gurney, Morrow had hit the teenager in the face with his fist. The sentence may still change as the judge had agreed to schedule another hearing to re-assess Morrow's sentence. Donald Sisson, a defense attorney in Denver, said the case was not a usual one and thus Morrow's sentence should be re-evaluated. Man found guilty of murder in the beating death of daughter Posted Sep 27, 2013 on chronicle.augusta.com Willie C. Jones will be spending the rest of his life in jail with no chance of parole after the jury convicted him for the death of his daughter. Before her death, four-year-old Tyasia Phillips, who incurred a head wound, had been connected to a life support after she was severely beaten and burned by the man whom she called dad. Jones had alleged that his daughter had injured her head when she tried to escape from him. Augusta attorney Katrell Nash, defending for Jones, appealed to the jury to consider the likelihood that the little girl had gotten the head wound while playing with other kids. At first, Jones had denied hurting his daughter but later admitted to the crime saying that he had beaten her for her insolence.
