Meanwhile, in Dec 2008 I was finishing up my third semester in law school and a year later found myself in a mock trial advocacy course being taught by known other than my former crush's defense attorney (who was also the attorney in Rabbi Neulander case the 2nd time around).

I'll look into the specifics of Philly's statute for murder of a witness and see how it works. I didnt know that it was a death penalty qualifer.

I toured Trenton State Prison back in Summer 2009, and all the guards love him. Says he is an outstanding prisoner. lol. He is still on the old death row, which now serves as the celeb wing.

Oh yes in deed he is! It definitely is an aggravating qualifer. Maybe I can try to see if "shotgun" (no pun) is available for courtroom seats. lol.

"At the time of the killing, the victim was or had been a nongovernmental informant or had otherwise provided any investigative, law enforcement or police agency with information concerning criminal activity and the defendant committed the killing or was an accomplice to the killing as defined in 18 Pa.C.S. § 306(c), and the killing was in retaliation for the victim's activities as a nongovernmental informant or in providing information concerning criminal activity to an investigative, law enforcement or police agency."

I asked him who was one of his most notably clients, and he said the fort dix six. I responded "didn't they get life?" This guy looks at me dead serious and says "no, life plus thirty years" hahaha I almost pissed myself.

Oh my love! You are very right and yet so wrong. It would take me a good hour to type out a fantastic answer for you (or him if I were pretending to represent him). And I would have to read up on more of the specific details of the case. But, I will say from the outset, the feds generally only charge a case if they can win it; hence why the feds have a great conviction record. So when they lose, as they did just recently, they take it as a major blow.

I will take a little more time to reread your response and reply with a more substantive response. And I am by far not 'big shot' and I am the first to point out how corrupt lawyers are.

Finally, you may be better off representing yourself in a case, if it werent for all the procedural and evidentiary rules you will be required to know and comply with despite your lack of training. Which is why most self-rep cases fail. Now, there are, and I have personally seen, some defendants during sentencing cite the statutue number and precise language of a law and some judges have even been known to say that appeals written by prisoners on their own behalf are often better than those writtten by any attorney.

Expect my response in the near future, counsel!

He is still at Trenton State. And its NJ's highest security prison and b/c of his "celeb" status he is there. I cant remember the one dude who is also on that wing (I wanna say Ambrose Harris) that has been completely sectioned off, even from the rest of the celeb wing and only a very select few (i.e., 2 or 3) COs that will go near him. He is that unpredictable.

Well, he did one good thing in his life; taking and completing the contract on Mud Man. Guards were telling that story and said it was absolutely nuts. That guards "couldnt/wouldnt" do anything. Just stood there behind the locked doors and watched.

Mudman Simon was another worthless piece of shit, no big loss there, but with Ambrose Harris it's personal and i mean real personal. I know a few people who would love to have a crack at that asshole. You have no idea.

Wasn't mudman a warlock or pagan mc member or something?

Heard that...He actually just requested (and was denied) early release. LOL. He cant even be housed with the other high security inmates, let alone the genpop. Yet, somehow courts are going to grant his release into the real general population, i.e., society. Takes a few screws loose to try that one.

Yes, all of Corzine's fans (death row inmates) were converted to life w/o....BUT, NJ, unlike PA, isnt a life w/o means life WITHOUT parole. Thus, life inmates can petition for early release and potentially have a judge grant the petition and be let out.

3 years later, I can still smell the inside of the prison in my hair. One of the other legal interns for NJ AG's office that went with my group on tour, got through 15 minutes before she felt physically sick and 3 COs had to escort her out. LOL! It was in the middle of July, 90 degrees outside, in there no less than 110 degrees. OMG! You get the point. I didnt eat lunch or dinner that night (not only had half a day left at the AG's office, but then had to drive from Trenton back to Delaware). I told people, I would kill myself before going to that prison. The average sentence is Life! lol.

Giancarlo, if you ever do find yourself in TSP, immediately act crazy. The psych ward IS AIR CONDITIONED! Granted, you may be in a cell alone and naked with video cameras on you, but nonetheless, Id take that over the smell of that place.

The jails here in Georgia are air conditioned to the max! It keeps down diseases. When your inside, the most valuable commodity is a sweatshirt. Every time i got out I gave mine to the coolest dude in the pod. The other guys were looking at me with daggers. Oh well...
