yea that's it. thanks for the link.

 

we knew this was coming for a while now.

 

If convicted, there won't be a jail good enough for them. Pretty sure that MADD and other groups will be closely following the outcome. And, if convicted, they deserve to be in general population, not some country club jail setting.

 

i was reading the comments that the person provided for us.
someone asked how much jail time they would get, and someone said probaby nothing, look at Mike Nifong, he got one day.
So, these guys will probably get probation or just lose their law licenses.

 

:iagree:

 

Did you see in the N&O Sunday where a 16 year old driver in Johnston County was charged last year with speeding 85 mph in a 55 mph speed zone. The teenager was allowed to plead guilty to a defective speedometer. Later in the year the same teenager was charged with speeding 75 mph in a 55 mph and was allowed to plead guilty to defective equipment.
This situation alone is enough for me to understand something is wrong with our court system in Johnston County. I just hope when this particular teen has the fatal accicdent it is a one car, one passenger accident.

 

What judges gave this one away? Who were the attorneys, both DA and defense? It's those kind of things I like to ask candidates when they run for office. Kinda hard to duck away from those legal back door deals, when the light is shined upon them. What was the common denominator of those officers of the court? If they squirm, it'll be good. If they don't, they're of no use as they have no conscience.

 

well in effect... losing law license isn't getting off easy.. thats their bread and butter... without that what are they to do?? So in that aspect it fits the punishment...

I have a problem if the defense lawyers are getting prosecuted on this...Why??? Isn't it their job to get best possible outcome for their client...The DA and clerk of courts or judges involved should be hammered not defense lawyers... that may be the case not sure though...

 

don't fault defense attorney...

 

Sorry, Seabee, but I disagree.

Officers of the court should be held to high ethical standards. Yes, I would expect that a defense attorneys to mount the best possible defense. Doing that does not negate ethical behavior. And clearly, this type of backdoor justice behavior is unethical. Because of it, all officers of the court get painted with an ugly brush. Same as the clerks of court now suffering because one of their own made unethical choices.

I'm sure you feel the same way about your fellow members of the Navy CB family. While an individual may operate outside the accepted parameters, the group at large has a reputation that should be guarded by all who are a part of it.

In the same vein, I am sick that a paratrooper of the 82nd would sink so low as to shoot a formation of us, as the recently convicted person did. The honor of the division lives on. His individual choice reflects upon that, and that perturbs me.

Kent, our resident LEO, would probably feel the same: An officer on the take makes them all look bad.

Justice and its pursuit demands the best of those who practice it. I fear that society has allowed far fetched court room antics like those of Boston Legal, to be viewed as the acceptable way things are done in our courts. That may happen in California. It hasn't happened in any court martial or civilian trial I've observed.s

 

I should have been a lawyer! :lol:

 

That guy who shot his own should be harshly dealt with...pathetic.

I just feel that those really responsible in this and where the buck should stop is with DA's and court clerks involved they are the ones that control the proper running of the courts, not so much the defense att's...

 

you still have time... heck didn't you just graduate several years ago from high school... :cheers:

 

The defense attorney is also an officer of the court, which means they uphold the law first. If what was done on the part of the defense was legal they should be fine, but it was not, they knew it and they proceeded. They are just as guilty as anyone else, and moreso than some because they have been educated of that fact and the clerk may not.

 

i'm sure this clerk knew exactly what she was doing. and she is the mother of the former school teacher that was arrested 2 weeks ago for meth. wonder why her daughter hasn't served any jail time?

 

Are you serious?????

 

yep

 

THAT'S interesting there tangy! :shock:
