 Life without parole. In Virginia, that's not a figure of speech. There's no parole board, no time off for good behavior, no path out. Brendan Banfield is 40 years old. Barring something extraordinary on appeal, he will die in a state prison.So what does "extraordinary" look like? Defense attorney Bob Motta is here to explain what Banfield's appellate team is actually going to argue — and why most of it faces near-impossible odds.First, let's be clear about what appeals are and aren't. They're not about whether the jury got it wrong. Appellate courts don't retry cases. They look for legal errors — things the judge did that violated the defendant's rights or tainted the proceedings. Banfield's team will argue several things: that Juliana's deal was too coercive, that evidence was buried, that the digital forensics fight was mishandled.Bob breaks down each argument and its chances. The au pair deal is a tough sell — courts generally allow cooperating witness agreements as long as juries know about them, and this jury knew. The digital evidence angle is more interesting — the prosecution's own forensic guy got reassigned when his findings didn't match their theory. If the defense can prove something was withheld, that's a potential Brady violation. But proving it and getting a new trial are two different things.The biggest obstacle is "harmless error." Even when something goes wrong, courts routinely say the outcome would've been the same anyway. Getting past that barrier after a jury heard weeks of testimony is brutally hard. Bob doesn't sugarcoat the odds.#BrendanBanfield #BanfieldAppeal #LifeWithoutParole #VirginiaAppeals #BobMotta #ChristineBanfield #BradyViolation #CriminalJustice #HiddenKillers #AppellateProcessJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brendan Banfield is facing life without parole. He's 40 years old. Unless something changes on appeal, he dies in a Virginia prison. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down what comes next — and whether any of it has a real chance of working.Appeals aren't about whether the jury got it wrong. Appellate courts don't retry cases. They look for legal errors the judge made that affected the outcome. Banfield's team has several potential arguments, and we're examining each one live with your questions.The Juliana deal is one angle. Murder dropped to manslaughter, time served, she walks free after testifying against him. The defense will argue that's so coercive it taints her testimony. Bob explains why courts rarely buy that argument — but also what makes this case potentially different.The digital forensics fight might be more promising. The prosecution's own investigator got pulled off the case when his findings didn't match their theory. If evidence was suppressed, that's a Brady violation — one of the few things that can actually overturn a conviction. But proving suppression and proving it mattered are two different legal battles.Bob also tackles the "harmless error" doctrine — the standard that kills most appeals by letting courts acknowledge mistakes but say they wouldn't have changed the verdict anyway. How do you get past that when a jury heard weeks of testimony?Join us live as we break down Banfield's appellate options and take your questions about what happens next.#BrendanBanfield #BanfieldAppeal #HiddenKillersLive #BobMotta #LifeWithoutParole #VirginiaAppeals #BradyViolation #TrueCrimeLive #CriminalAppeals #LivePodcastJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

California's New Legal Rules for 2026: AI, Photo Proof of Service, and Simpler Statements of DecisionNew statutes and court rules taking effect in 2026 and 2027 will change how California lawyers serve papers, preserve appellate issues, and disclose their use of artificial intelligence. Appellate attorneys Tim Kowal and Jeff Lewis focus on what actually matters in practice—what to fix now, and where the new traps are likely to appear.The big changes:AI in the Courts: Rule of Court 10.430 requires courts to either ban AI use by judicial officers and research attorneys or adopt a formal AI policy with verification and disclosure requirements. Expect cautious policies, broad disclosures, and little tolerance for “the AI did it” excuses.One Deadline for Statements of Decision: AB 515 eliminates the short-trial/long-trial distinction. If you want a statement of decision, you must request it before submitting…and you should do it in writing.Other changes worth noting:Photo Proof of Service: Starting January 2027, AB 747 requires process servers to document service attempts with photographs showing GPS coordinates and timestamps.Court Reporter Disclosure: AB 711 requires meet-and-confer declarations to disclose whether court reporter attendance was discussed and the outcome.Electronic Service Authorized: SB 85 allows courts to approve service by email or electronic means when traditional service fails.Expanded Mediation Authority: Courts may order mediation in cases up to $75,000 if at least one party requests it and no discovery disputes are pending.AI Disclosure in Bankruptcy Court: The Southern District of California Bankruptcy Court now requires disclosure of AI tools used and certification of independent accuracy review.Listen now to understand what to change in your templates and where the next procedural missteps are waiting.

Navigating the Complexities of Civil Procedure: A Deep DiveThis conversation delves into the complexities of the Erie Doctrine, which governs the relationship between federal and state courts in diversity cases. It highlights the foundational case of Erie Railroad v. Tompkins and discusses the constitutional limitations on federal courts regarding substantive law.In the realm of law, understanding the nuances of civil procedure is crucial for any aspiring lawyer. This blog post delves into the final critical segment of civil procedure, focusing on appellate review, the Erie doctrine, and preclusion. These elements are foundational for success in exams and real-world applications, demanding a disciplined sequential analysis.Appellate Review: The Path to Correctness Appellate review is a cornerstone of the legal process, ensuring that decisions are made correctly. It involves a multi-step framework, applying rules from statutes and major Supreme Court precedents. The final judgment rule, as outlined in 28 USC section 1291, is pivotal, granting jurisdiction to courts of appeals only from final decisions. This principle prevents piecemeal appeals, maintaining efficiency in the legal system.The Erie Doctrine: Balancing State and Federal Power The Erie doctrine is a complex area of civil procedure, defining the power dynamic between federal and state courts. It mandates that federal courts apply state substantive law and federal procedural law in diversity cases. The doctrine's twin aims are to prevent forum shopping and ensure the equitable administration of laws. Understanding this doctrine is essential for navigating the intricacies of civil procedure.Preclusion: Ensuring Finality in Litigation Preclusion, encompassing claim and issue preclusion, is vital for maintaining the finality of judgments. Claim preclusion prevents parties from relitigating claims that were or could have been raised in a previous action. Issue preclusion bars the re-litigation of specific issues decided in a prior case. These doctrines ensure that once a case is decided, it remains resolved, promoting stability in the legal system.The Interconnected System of Civil Procedure Civil procedure is an interconnected system, balancing competing values of justice and finality. As you prepare for exams or practice law, remember the importance of a disciplined approach. Understanding appellate review, the Erie doctrine, and preclusion will equip you with the tools needed to navigate the legal landscape effectively.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in civil procedure and other legal topics.TakeawaysThe Erie Doctrine is a critical area of civil procedure.It defines the relationship between federal and state courts.Federal courts must apply state substantive law in diversity cases.The Erie Doctrine emerged from Erie Railroad v.

The Supreme Court of the United States is back in session with a blockbuster docket that could shift the levers of power in America. Issues range from the scope of executive authority, and the role of the federal government, to the power of the lower courts in resolving executive power disputes. As cases on the so-called “shadow docket” pile up, some district judges are speaking out, raising concerns about risks to the high court's legitimacy. Meanwhile, the business world is watching and waiting for a decision on the administration's tariff-setting power that could shake the global economy.Have the courts provided sufficient guardrails, what limits can Congress impose — and will those checks and balances last? Will SCOTUS rein in the administration's tariff strategy? And how should businesses respond? Join The Sidley Podcast host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm's thought leaders on these issues — Kwaku Akowuah and Tacy Flint, the co-leaders of Sidley's Supreme Court, Appellate, and Litigation Strategies practice. Together, they discuss the monumental cases of the Supreme Court's last term, the majority's backing of executive power over the federal bureaucracy, and the court's use of the emergency docket.  Executive Producer: John Metaxas, WallStreetNorth Communications, Inc.

In the Public Interest is excited to continue In That Case, its third annual miniseries examining notable decisions recently issued by the US Supreme Court. In this episode, guest host Daniel Volchok, the Vice Chair of WilmerHale's Appellate and Supreme Court Litigation Practice, speaks with Dave Bowker, the Partner-in-Charge of the Washington DC office and chair of the International Litigation practice, about CC/Devas (Mauritius) Ltd. v.

Bowker outlines each step of the case, describing its beginnings as a contract dispute in India and its journey to the Supreme Court. Volchok and Bowker further discuss the Court's unanimous 9-0 reversal of the Ninth Circuit's decision, certifying that the FSIA does not require proof of minimum contacts and jurisdiction can be effectively established through exception to immunity and service of process.

In the Public Interest is excited to continue In That Case, its third annual miniseries examining notable decisions recently issued by the United States Supreme Court. In this episode, host Felicia Ellsworth is joined by Partner and Chair of WilmerHale's Appellate and Supreme Court Litigation Practice Seth Waxman and Counsel Zaki Anwar to discuss Glossip v. Oklahoma. The case concerns Richard Glossip, who has been on death row since 1998 on a first-degree murder charge. The team arguing on his behalf in front of Court, which included Waxman and Anwar, successfully argued that Glossip's sentence should be reversed and the state of Oklahoma should be allowed to retry his case.Waxman and Anwar walk through each step of the case, outlining the complex procedural history that has taken place over the course of nearly thirty years. They emphasize the significance of the case for due process and other capital cases in the future, and what it reflects about the current Court's ideologies when it comes to serious criminal convictions.

Dr. Ed Livingston, renowned surgeon, educator, and researcher, who was a former deputy editor at JAMA, found himself out of a job after a JAMA podcast he hosted with Dr. Mitch Katz that discussed, among other items, structural racism as a contributor to the high mortality in minorities from COVID. This incident led to a series of lawsuits, some of which were highly publicized. Ed shares behind the scenes events, incidents, and what transpired in 2021, and how the AMA handled the situation. In this episode, Ed shares his background, career path, passion for education and medicine, and his disappointment at how everything was handled by the AMA. This is a rare discussion with some information being shared for the first time ever with listeners and viewers. The AMA declined the request to comment and provide their side of the story.

One of the most important—and often overlooked—aspects of the criminal justice process: how to choose the right appellate lawyer. Over the years, especially as I've shifted my practice even more toward appellate work since COVID, I've seen firsthand how critical it is to have someone by your side who knows the ins and outs of appeals, post-conviction rights, and all the potential pitfalls along the appellate ladder.Just hiring any lawyer for your appeal isn't enough. I'll walk you through the so-called “appellate ladder,” and explain how missing a single step—like forgetting to object at trial or failing to properly raise federal issues—can shut you out of federal court review down the line. I've run into these issues myself while representing clients in federal habeas corpus cases, which is why I'm passionate about making sure you know what to look for and what questions to ask when interviewing appellate lawyers.I'll also give you real-world advice: what to ask your lawyer, why it's crucial to plan several moves ahead, and how failing to build your case the right way from the start can leave you without options when it matters most.If you're facing an appeal, or just want to better understand this complex process, you'll find this episode essential. And as always, if you have any questions or want me to cover a specific topic about appeals—federal, state, or otherwise—head over to LawyerTalkPodcast.com and let me know!Here are three key takeaways for anyone considering appellate counsel:Look for True Appellate ExperienceNot all lawyers are familiar with the unique nuances and pitfalls of the appellate process. You need someone who understands the “appellate ladder” and what it takes to preserve issues at every stage.Ask about Federal IssuesYour appellate lawyer must know how to frame your objections as federal constitutional issues—not just state law issues—if you ever want your case considered in federal court (habeas corpus). Missing this step can completely close the door on federal review.Always Be Thinking Several Moves AheadAppeals are like chess. The best lawyers anticipate possible outcomes at every step and ensure all arguments are preserved for future appeals—even if those seem remote.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Appellate judges are scrutinizing President Donald Trump's legal authority to impose sweeping tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The law, designed for crises like 9/11 and the Iran hostage crisis, has never been used to set tariffs. Multiple states and businesses are suing, and the case could soon reach the Supreme Court.

I'm taking you behind the scenes of a fascinating aspect of criminal appeals that most people overlook: the cross appeal. Now, I know it might sound boring or routine at first, but trust me—once you're in the thick of appellate work, it gets a whole lot more interesting.I'll be sharing a recent experience from my own legal practice, where, after winning a significant post-conviction case, the state decided they weren't ready to walk away and filed an appeal against our victory. That put me at a crossroads—should I file a cross-appeal to cover the few issues the judge didn't rule in our favor on, even though we'd already won big?I'll break down the strategic reasons behind a cross appeal, the importance of preserving every argument for my client, and why sometimes, in appellate law, thinking several moves ahead is the key to real justice. If you've ever wondered about the nitty-gritty of criminal appeals, why every detail matters, or what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the government after a win, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways from this episode:A cross appeal preserves your arguments: If the opposing party (like the State) appeals a favorable decision, you may need to file a cross appeal to ensure all the issues you raised get reviewed—crucial for “playing chess” with the appellate process.Protecting future rights: By raising every possible issue on appeal, you protect your client's ability to bring those arguments to higher courts, like the Supreme Court, if needed. Failure to do so could waive those issues forever.Specialized appellate expertise matters: Appellate practice is a different world from trial work. Having a lawyer who understands the finer points of state and federal appeals can make all the difference for your case's outcome.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/C8Ou77B6Eow In Sarah Boone's latest letter to the court, she is inquiring about the status of her appeal and her court-appointed appellate attorney. She states that her attorney sent one introductory message in February 2025 and has not responded to her five inmate messages, two handwritten letters, or attempts by nine third-party representatives. Boone says her appeal is in jeopardy because an order was issued on June 13, 2025, requiring an initial brief within 20 days, or her appeal may be dismissed due to lack of communication from her attorney.  However, there was a third extension granted on the appeal. She argues that her attorney's failure to perform duties or communicate cannot be held against her and that dismissal would deny her due process and effective assistance of counsel. The trial court judge cannot force the appellate attorney to communicate and that appeals typically take a long time, with minimal client input needed since the brief is based on the record. There might be a desire for Boone to control her lawyer, which is often not how the attorney-client relationship works in appellate cases.

The legislation mandates a minimum five-year sentence for trafficking as little as four grams. Fentanyl, 100 times more potent than morphine, is often found laced in drugs like Adderall and Xanax, posing lethal risks, especially to teenagers. Senator Russ Goodman, who introduced the bill, emphasized its urgency, sharing personal stories of lives lost to fentanyl in his community. Kemp signed the bill alongside 19 others, aiming to combat the drug's devastating impact. STORY 2: Trip Elementary teacher fired, arrested for inappropriate contact with students Brandon Hill, a former Trip Elementary School teacher, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor simple battery and felony first-degree cruelty to children for allegedly inappropriate conduct with students in March. Hill, 29, was removed from the classroom immediately after the allegations surfaced and is no longer employed by Gwinnett County Public Schools. Investigations by police, child services, and the district are ongoing, with details of the incidents redacted or withheld. Hill was released on a $6,000 bond with conditions prohibiting contact with students. STORY 3: NCG Cinema taking over former AMC theater in Snellville this summer The former AMC theater at Presidential Markets in Snellville is reopening in June under NCG Cinema. To prepare, NCG is hosting a job fair on May 30-31 from noon to 6 p.m. at the theater, hiring for part-time roles in management, floor staff, and housekeeping.

Fair Fight, a voting rights group, argued the challenges were frivolous and aimed to intimidate Black voters ahead of key Senate runoffs. True the Vote denied intent to intimidate, citing no direct voter contact. While a lower court ruled in True the Vote's favor in 2024, the judges questioned the group's motives, noting none of the challenges succeeded and criticizing their "reckless" methods. A decision is pending. STORY 5: Former Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond discusses his book with Rotary Club of Gwinnett Michael Thurmond, former Georgia legislator and labor commissioner, spoke at the Gwinnett County Rotary Club about his book, *James Oglethorpe, Father of Georgia: A Founder’s Journey from Slave Trader to Abolitionist*. The book, 30 years in the making, explores Oglethorpe’s transformation from a slave trader to an abolitionist and his role as the first white man in North America to oppose slavery. Thurmond’s journey began in 1996 during a visit to Oglethorpe’s grave in England, where a plaque described him as “the friend of the oppressed negro.” The book highlights Oglethorpe’s evolution and his impact on history, emphasizing the power of personal change.

“There's never any point at which I would have to say, ‘Well, I'm only going to do trial work now' or ‘I'm only going to do appellate work,'” Dylan Russell says. He can straddle that line because, as he explains to hosts Todd Smith and Jody Sanders, “I just like the law so much that I think about it all the time.” In this conversation, Dylan discusses why he maintains both trial and appellate skills rather than specializing and suggests how trial lawyers can become strong appellate lawyers.

I'm discussing the critical aspect of the appellate process: the hidden costs that can arise after a conviction. In this episode, I share my personal experience with the sticker shock of obtaining a trial transcript for an appeal. It's a glimpse into the financial burdens that these expenses can impose on those looking to contest their convictions and how unforeseen costs can sometimes stand in the way of justice. Drawing from my years of appellate work, I shed light on the challenges and potential solutions when faced with these unexpected financial hurdles. Whether you're directly dealing with an appeal or simply curious about the legal intricacies, this episode offers valuable insights into an often-overlooked part of the legal process.Key TakeawaysSticker Shock of Transcripts: The cost of obtaining trial transcripts can be unexpectedly high, as seen with a recent $9,800 estimate for a four-day trial. It's a sobering reality for many families trying to appeal convictions.The Necessity of Transcripts: Despite the costs, transcripts are crucial for effective appellate work. They provide a clear record of the trial proceedings, which is essential for building a strong appeal case.Planning for Hidden Costs: Individuals looking to appeal should be prepared for these hidden costs, as they can significantly impact the decision to pursue appellate action. Considering potential expenses ahead of time can help in better financial planning.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Whenever a trial is notable enough to make the headlines, the initial verdict is often the only one that sticks in the public-consciousness. But when it comes to appeals, unless it's a particularly heinous criminal case, the process is rarely deemed newsworthy. I suspect there's a litany of reasons for this lack of coverage, though at the end of the day I think it comes down to the appeals process being both nuanced and - using the metrics of 24-hour news - excruciatingly slow. And while it's not always granted, the ability to appeal a verdict is still fundamental to our legal system because ultimately it allows the space for humility. A space to say, “I never considered _____”. A space to grow.In my estimation, being an appellate attorney is more akin to being a craftsman or artisan than any other field of practice. It also takes a level of patience and flexibility that many attorneys (myself included) don't revel in.My guest this week is one of these craftsmen.Todd Smith is the Founder and Principal of the Texas Appellate Counsel, which helps attorneys implement the tools of emerging technology thoughtfully, effectively, and ethically.Todd has devoted his career to appellate practice, starting more than 3 decades ago with a two-year judicial clerkship at the Texas Supreme Court, moving to private and solo practice throughout his career.Todd and I discuss his journey towards discoing a passion for appellate work, the lessons he's learned being on both sides of the leadership role, and how technology does and doesn't impact the ways law will be practiced in the years to come. Enjoy the show!  Listen to Legal Grounds wherever you get your Podcasts.

*This episode originally aired on December 21, 2018.This is part two of a two-part interview. To listen to part one, click here.In part two of this two-part interview, Death Row inmate Kevin Cooper, once coming within four hours of execution, details how he copes with the daily torment of impending death as his legal team fights to prove his innocence with new exonerating evidence Gov. Jerry Brown has refused to allow to be examined. For the past 33 Christmas holidays, Kevin Cooper has inhabited an 11-by-4 ½-foot cell in California's San Quentin State Prison, the last eight waiting for Brown to grant him a new hearing and advanced DNA testing that would support what federal Appellate Judge William C. Fletcher has said: “Kevin Cooper is on Death Row because the San Bernardino sheriff’s department framed him.” Cooper, at the top of the list to be killed when the state resumes executions, talks to Robert Scheer in the latest installment of "Scheer Intelligence" about the unfairness of the justice system and the difficulty of proving one’s innocence once convicted: “”Whenever you have a judge that comes forward and stands up and says no, this person innocent…this person was framed, we need to take that serious as a society.” He discusses his ongoing struggle to preserve his basic humanity: "I’ve been blessed, in a sick sense of the word. I’ve been cursed by putting me here, but while I’m in here, I’ve been blessed, because there are a lot of death row inmates who commit suicide every time you turn around. They took a guy past this cage last night on a gurney, ‘cause he was ‘man down’...Don’t know if he lived or died. But they’ve been committing suicide up here, they’ve been killing each other up here. All types of craziness has been going on up in here."  Cooper explains how he has kept hope alive when he could so easily succumb to desperation and despair.  He paints, writes and reads voraciously but is most passionate when speaking out against the death penalty: "When you find yourself in a fight that is bigger than you—[capital punishment] affects the lives of many people—and you can do something to help in that fight, you can’t give up...You can’t stop, you can’t quit. You just can’t do it...I did not choose this, to speak out against the death penalty; I didn’t. This [struggle] chose me."
