Plea deal for drunk driver who crashed boat and killed a soon-to-be wed manPosted Feb 11, 2014 on nypost.com A plea deal had Richard Aquilone pleading to lesser charges and getting just a probation for the death of Jijo Puthuvamkunnath. Puthuvamkunnath was to be married in a few weeks but he never got to tie the knot as he got killed when a drunk Aquilone rammed his boat with his yacht. The impact was so great that Puthuvamkunnath's boat was split in two. Aside from the probation, Aquilone will also be made to serve the community for 250 hours. Marc Agnifilo, New York criminal attorney defending for Aquilone, said his client has expressed regret for the loss that he has caused the Puthuvamkunnaths. Judge denies third trial for man convicted of murder Posted Feb 07, 2014 on keysnews.com Nicholas Christopher Ferro was denied a third trial for the death of Marques Butler in 2009. Ferro's first trial had ended in a hung jury. In his second trial, he was convicted of murder in the second degree last September. However, he had asked for a third trial with Miami attorney Carlos Gonzalez pointing out several things, the main of which is that the charges should not have been murder in the second degree because of the scant amount of time that Ferro and Butler have known each other before the incident happened. According to Ferro's defense, a murder in the second degree charge would require that the perpetrator and victim are familiar with each other thus the need for a time requirement on how long they have known each other basing on the murder laws of Florida. However, the judge said the amount of time is not required. With Ferro's demand for a third trial denied, a life imprisonment sentence looms for him. Philadelphia Church official granted bail after his conviction was reversedPosted Dec 30, 2013 on abclocal.go.com After 18 months in prison, Monsignor William Lynn, may be released when he was granted bail following the reversal of his conviction. Lynn, who served as a secretary for clergy at the Philadelphia archdiocese, will have to give up his passport. He will also be made to wear an electronic device for monitoring. The Roman Catholic official was sentenced to between three to six years after he was convicted for endangering an abuse victim of a priest. However, appeal judges reversed Lynn's conviction because the child-endangerment law which he was accused of violating did not apply to him. Following the reversal, Lynn's defense lawyers asked for his release which the prosecution opposed during the bail hearing claiming that the priest is a flight risk. However, Philadelphia defense attorney Thomas Bergstrom said that Lynn would never run away from conviction. Cop gets two months for shooting trainee during an exercise
Posted Dec 17, 2013 on www.baltimoresun.com William S. Kern, a Baltimore Police instructor, was handed a 60-day jail stay, for shooting Raymond Gray, a police recruit, while they were doing exercises. Kern, who has been in service for 19 years, told the court during his trial that he had brought a live gun to the exercises and he had accidentally used it instead of the training weapon. Gray was hit in the head and was blinded in one eye when Kern fired his gun through the window to show the recruits the danger of lingering near the door, the window or the hallway. Kern said that he brought his gun to the training for the safety of the recruits because the facility where they were having their exercises is not secure. Baltimore defense attorney Shaun F. Owens had argued for Kern's release saying that his client's eventual dismissal from the service would already be enough of a punishment. Kern is on a 60-day suspension while the Baltimore Police conducts an investigation within its ranks. Gray's family, who expressed dissatisfaction with the sentence, has also filed a civil lawsuit in relation to the incident and is being represented by Baltimore litigator A. Dwight Pettit. 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.
