When Jean Harris met Herman Tarnower in the winter of 1966, she quickly fell in love the charming doctor. Having just come out of a disappointing twenty-year marriage, Harris was desperate to find the love and stimulating partnership she'd long dreamed of, and believed she'd finally found it in the intellectual Tarnower and the two would live happily ever after. But fourteen years later, Tarnower was dead and Harris was on trial for his murder, her fantasy of happily ever after having crumbled around her.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAlexander, Shana. 1983.

In the latest episode of our limited series, Revolutionizing Rights: AI and the Future of Legal Equality, featured on the Thomson Reuters Institute Insights podcast channel, we speak with Judge Tanya Kennedy, Associate Justice of the Appellate Division of the First Department of New York, about the application of AI and the essential education required to adequately prepare the judiciary.
In a letter to Judge Buchwald, attorneys representing Sean Combs and his associated companies—Bad Boy Entertainment LLC, Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings, Inc., Sean John Clothing LLC, and Daddy's House Recordings, Inc.—requested a pre-motion conference to discuss their intent to file a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. They argue that the plaintiff's claim is preempted by New York State law and fails to establish a viable legal basis for holding the corporate entities liable, seeking dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6).In a letter to the court, attorneys for Plaintiff Crystal McKinney oppose Defendants' request for a pre-motion conference regarding their anticipated Motion to Dismiss her Amended Complaint. The Defendants claim that the NYC Gender Motivated Violence Protection Act (GMVA) is preempted by state law; however, McKinney's attorneys argue that this argument has already been rejected by the Appellate Division. They contend that McKinney's Amended Complaint contains well-pled allegations of sexual assault, physical abuse, and/or forcible drugging, which meet the requirements of the GMVA, and therefore, the motion to dismiss should fail.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.621909.27.0.pdfsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.621909.26.0.pdf
Slam the Gavel welcomes Bouchra Hamidi to the podcast. Bouchra came to the United States in 2007, searching for a better life and new opportunities. She married in 2009, and soon after, her two beautiful children were born; her son in 2010 and her daughter in 2012. However, what she thought would be a happy family life quickly turned into a nightmare. Bouchra's marriage was filled with years of domestic violence, and she finally made the difficult decision to protect herself and her children by turning to the family court system in 2016. What Bouchra thought would be an escape from abuse turned into a new kind of nightmare—JUDICIAL ABUSE. From family court to the Integrated Domestic Violence (IDV) Court and even the Appellate Division, she has faced endless corruption, bias, and failures that have denied her justice and put her children at risk. Instead of finding safety and protection, Bouchra and her children have been subjected to a system that seems to punish them further, while ENABLING THE ABUSER. Now, after years of fighting, Bouchra still hasn't found justice. The pain and suffering her children and she have endured STILL continue, but Bouchra refuses to give up. Bouchra is here today to share her story to expose the systemic failures of the family court and to stand as a voice for other mothers and children who are suffering in silence.To Reach Bouchra Hamidi: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536 Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Corporations: Was the Trump Organization in New York a fraudulent business? - Argued: Thu, 26 Sep 2024 15:17:9 EDT
*) Joe Biden withdraws from US presidential race US President Joe Biden has ended his reelection campaign after fellow Democrats lost faith in his mental acuity and ability to beat Donald Trump. His decision to quit leaves the presidential race in uncharted territory. Biden, in a post on X, said he will remain in his role as president and commander-in-chief until his term ends in January 2025 and will address the nation this week. *) Israel demolishes Palestinian shops, excavate land amid Gaza war The Israeli army has demolished two commercial establishments and excavated land belonging to Palestinians in Beit Hanina in occupied East Jerusalem. The Israeli army raided the town of Beit Hanina, demolishing a commercial shop and a car showroom, and excavating land, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa. The agency did not mention the reason for the Israeli army taking this measure, but it usually uses “construction without a permit” as an excuse for demolishing Palestinians' homes in occupied Palestinian territories. *) Protestors ready for massive rally in US heartland during Netanyahu's visit Activists opposing Israel's war on Gaza and Washington's continuous support for its Middle Eastern ally plan protests at the US Capitol on Wednesday to coincide with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's US visit this week. Police expect a “large number of demonstrators” and were making additional security arrangements but said there were no known threats. Netanyahu will be in Washington this week for a July 24 address to a joint session of the US Congress. He is also expected to meet US President Joe Biden. *) Bangladesh's top court scales back job quotas Bangladesh's Supreme Court has scrapped most of the quotas on government jobs that have sparked student-led protests in the South Asian country. The court's Appellate Division dismissed a lower court order that had reinstated the quotas, directing that 93% of government jobs will be open to candidates on merit, without quotas. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government had scrapped the quota system in 2018, but the lower court reinstated it last month, sparking protests and an ensuing government crackdown. *) Indian Muslim group condemns ‘discriminatory' eateries order An Indian Muslim group has raised concern about the Uttar Pradesh state's government “discriminatory” order for eateries to identify their owners. The UP state government earlier asked eateries — including roadside carts — to display the names of their owners to “avoid confusion” during a Hindu holy pilgrimage when thousands of worshippers will make the journey on foot. Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, India's largest socio-religious Muslim organisation, expressed concern about the order, calling it “completely discriminatory” and a “communal decision.” The group said there is “fear of serious damage to communal harmony.”
An interesting Appellate Division opinion was issued in the case of Garofalo v Verizon New York, Inc. On the surface, the Appellate Division reversed a finding of the Workers' Compensation Board based on expert witnesses using an outdated set of Guidelines to comment on permanent impairment. However, when host Christian Sison (https://loisllc.com/attorney/christian-sison/) met with Jeremy Janis (https://loisllc.com/attorney/jeremy-janis/) and Connor Wetherington (https://loisllc.com/attorney/connor-wetherington/), the 3 attorneys developed an interesting discussion on the concept of loading schedule loss of use.

OA1033 We begin with a quick check-in on Trump's trial in New York, from the recent appellate ruling on his gag order Todd Blanche's bizarrely personal start to his cross-examination of the most important witness in one of the most important criminal trials in US history. Matt then explains why it might be a felony to run for governor in Washington State if your name is Bob Ferguson. Then: Clarence Thomas just rejected an originalist 5th Circuit ruling to save the Consumer Protection Finance Bureau on behalf of a 7-2 court--with Alito dissenting for totally different originalist reasons. What is going here? We then stop in for a quick layover with the current state of the Boeing non-prosecution agreement before Thomas takes on a bar question about some extremely unpleasant fish. Unanimous order from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York upholding Trump NY gag order (5/14/24) RCW 29A.84.320 (WA criminal statute addressing “Duplicate, nonexistent, and untrue names”) SCOTUS ruling in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Assn. of America, Ltd. (05/16/2024) DOJ letter to court overseeing Boeing nonprosecution agreement (5/14/24) There's a new episode out on www.patreon.com/gavelpod!

Join Ben for his discussion with attorneys Taylor Asen and Trevor Savage about their recent $2.4 million verdict in Bangor, Maine in a case involving a surgical mal positioning that caused an arm injury and CRPS. Taylor and Trevor explain how they worked closely with the client to get her to the right specialist who could diagnose her medical condition. They talk about the challenges of presenting a CRPS injury at trial. They discuss how they resisted the defense effort to stipulate to liability and were able to present compelling evidence of corporate indifference and system failure in the lack of safeguards or systems to make sure that the surgery was done safely, and the lack of follow through, investigation, or changes that came out of this incident. They discuss how they responded to the defense's 11th hour surprise surveillance video, which the judge allowed into evidence over objection. They used the surveillance to further polarize the case and show the lie in the hospital's claim to be taking responsibility for its actions. They discuss the use of data analysis to recognize the true value of the case and to formulate the amount asked for in closing. About Taylor Asenwww.gideonasen.com Taylor specializes in medical malpractice cases, trucking accident cases, and other complex personal injury cases. He has recovered tens of millions of dollars for his clients. Taylor possesses a unique combination of intellect, competitive drive, and human empathy that makes him a powerful advocate for his clients. Taylor has dedicated his career to championing the interests of individuals who have suffered harm or injury from corporate misconduct, individual negligence, and bad medical care. Taylor's efforts on behalf of injured Mainers have resulted in several of the largest case settlements in Maine history. Recently, Taylor and his colleague Meryl obtained one of the largest jury verdicts in a child sex abuse case in Maine's history. Taylor has been recognized as one of Maine's leading plaintiff's attorneys. He is only one of two lawyer from Northern New England listed in Lawdragon's list of the top 500 plaintiff's attorneys in the nation—the other lawyer from Northern New England is his partner, Ben Gideon. Taylor is also included in Best Lawyers – Ones to Watch and Super Lawyers Rising Stars; these designations are given to attorneys that distinguish themselves during their first decade of practice. “Nobody is more committed to his clients than Taylor,” said Ben Gideon. “His mind is always working. It's not unusual for me to receive a call after midnight from Taylor, wanting to brainstorm about a thorny problem or about case strategy. Taylor is also a gifted legal writer, enabling our clients to gain the upper hand in motions and briefs submitted to the courts. When it comes to the full range of personal qualities and skills needed to achieve extraordinary client results, there are few lawyers I've met who can match Taylor.” Taylor is on the Board of Governors of the Maine Trial Lawyers Association and has served as Co-Chair of the MTLA's Legislative Committee for the past three years. Taylor has testified in the Maine Legislature on numerous occasions, and played a critical role in the fight to raise Maine's cap on wrongful death damages in 2019. Taylor also has experience litigating class action cases on behalf of employees, consumers, and victims of civil rights abuses. From 2019 to 2020, he co-counseled a class action on behalf of Maine prisoners who were denied treatment for Hepatitis C. That lawsuit resulted in a historic settlement with the Maine Department of Corrections, under which the DOC agreed to treat all incarcerated individuals who have chronic Hepatitis C. Taylor is an Adjunct Professor at Maine Law School, where he co-teaches Trial Advocacy. A native of Maine, Taylor is a graduate of Yale Law School. At Yale, Taylor worked in the Veterans Legal Services Clinic, representing veterans who were improperly denied disability benefits. After graduating from law school, Taylor clerked for federal judges in New York City and Newark, New Jersey. Taylor began his career at a law firm in New York, before returning to Maine to represent individual plaintiffs in personal injury lawsuits. Taylor's wife, Becca, is the Director of Recruiting and Professional Development at Bernstein Shur. Taylor and Becca live in Cumberland County with their three children, Davida, Vivienne, and Leon.

He helped my family get the best outcome to move forward with our lives without regret.” – Cheri H. “Taylor Asen was everything we needed in a lawyer: professional, communicative, straight forward and determined. He also was everything we didn't expect: personable, always available, kind and thoughtful. We highly recommend his services.” – Arianna S. “Taylor Asen is the ultimate professional. He navigated us through the toughest time in our lives and handled our medical malpractice case with mastery. . . Most of all, he was human. His confidence and his friendly demeanor put us at ease and his empathy towards our situation made us feel like we wanted to win this case not just for us, but for him.” – Lisa H.

Slam the Gavel welcomes Stephen Boyd to the podcast. Stephen is the Founder of The Gabriella Boyd Memorial Foundation that was created on April 28, 2018, after the tragic and devastating loss of two and a half year old, Gabriella. Shortly after, her father, Stephen Boyd, began this Non-Profit organization in order to not only honor his little girl but also to help those who are struggling through Family Court to have a voice and be heard. After reluctantly entering into his first “Parenting Agreement” in 2016, that was ordered by a judge in Westchester County, Stephen had been fighting for physical custody of his daughter. Like many of us, he was no familiar with the details and aspects of Family Court Law, Child Support, and Parental Rights pertaining to his situation and the situation of so many others. This process had been very difficult, time consuming, and costly for Stephen. However, the love that he has for his little girl was far greater, and he took all the necessary steps to educate himself and properly build a case. For two and a half years, he had built a case against the mother of his daughter with evidence, which he hoped to show that he ultimately deserved custody of Gabriella. On Friday April 27, 2018, Stephen Boyd went to Village of Mamaroneck Police Department with the court order he had been fighting so long for. Although Judge Hal B. Greenwald had signed off on Stephen Boyd getting physical custody of his daughter that day, after a series of events that are still currently under investigation, unfortunately that court order was never executed. This case now sits in the Court of Appeals, 2nd Department, Appellate Division. On Saturday, April 28, 2018, around 1:30 PM, The Village of Mamaroneck Police Department received a call that resulted in police finding Gabriella D.O.A while in the care of her mother. Despite the efforts of the first responders to try to revive and resuscitate her, it was too late. Gabriella Boyd was pronounced dead. The Gabriella Boyd Memorial Foundation has a mission to help educate and assist those who have struggled to have a voice in custody situations. We want to be able to help those who are struggling, just like Stephen did, to have a chance to better understand their rights and the family court system. This foundation has the help of local law enforcement, social workers, family lawyers, and community activists for parents who want to be present in their children's lives, but are struggling to find the necessary steps and their voice in the process. There will be Informational seminars held quarterly to provide help to those who would like to join us. We are also involved with other foundations who also have the same goal of promoting equality in family law in order to focus on the well-being of our children. In addition, this foundation will not only donate but focus on assisting causes near and dear to Gabriella; including but not limited to her daycare MCNS, Speech Pathology, Humane Society of Westchester, and more. Gabriella's memory will live on through our efforts and your support.To Reach Stephen Boyd: gbmf26@gmail.com, 914-813-8387 Could you please sign and share the petition: https://www.change.org/p/remove-judge-elizabeth-kelly-from-the-bench-permanentlyThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

Slam the Gavel welcomes Dyanna Morrison White to the podcast. Dyanna has studied the Constitution and Bill of Rights for 20+ years, as an author and playwright, writing two stage plays regarding the First and Second amendments. Dyanna found it eye opening to see just how far the current judiciary has strayed from the original intent of our framers and how very few Americans have access to justice and an impartial judiciary. As a single woman, and Pro Se litigant, she has now spent over a decade trying to battle an ever growing group of mostly privileged white males, made up of New York state judges, lawyers and law enforcement, who have been shielded by numerous state and federal agencies, including the FBI, DOJ, OIG, and Courts, which now includes the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, as well as the Federal District Court of Northern New York, The Supreme Court of NY, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, Jefferson County Surrogates Court, and also the NY state AG's office, DANY and the Nassau County District Attorney's office, all in an ongoing effort to shield two judges, two lawyers and law enforcement from culpability. After being DOUBLE-CROSSED by every attorney she hired, Dyanna was forced to represent herself as a pro Se litigant, initially in NDNY, and subsequently in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, battling a group of Wall Street professional liability lawyers and regional law firms, because every time she recounted the scores of civil and criminal violations she had been subjected to by this group of defendants to well-known civil rights law firms, they denied representation for fear of disbarment, if they were to go against a group of corrupt judges and lawyers. It is estimated that there are currently over two million US citizens forced to represent themselves as Pro Se litigants, in the corrupt network of courts. That is the rule of law that is available to the AVERAGE American citizen and thousands of others are SUFFERING this same fate at the hands of our state and federal court systems, the legal profession, law enforcement and federal agencies, along with our politicians, who are turning a blind eye to the CORRUPTION that they all know exists. Until sweeping LEGISLATION is passed to CORRECT these INJUSTICES, there will be no "rule of law," in the United States of America. It is only the RICH, FAMOUS or those who are, "in the news," that might actually REALIZE some FORM of JUSTICE.To Reach Dyanna Morrison White: dyannamorrison.com or dmwhite2023@yahoo.com(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/Support the showSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)http://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/

On December 5th, a significant day in legal history, several pivotal events have shaped the legal landscape over the years–let's do a speed run: On this day in 1791, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of history's most influential composers, died in Vienna, Austria. His death led to numerous speculations and legal inquiries, reflecting the intersection of law and the arts. More specifically, Mozart's untimely demise at the age of 35 spawned various theories, ranging from poisoning to severe illness, fueling debates and investigations that persisted for centuries. The legal scrutiny surrounding his death underscored the complexities of inheritance and authorship rights during a time when the concepts of intellectual property were still in their infancy.In the United States, December 5th, 1933, marked the end of Prohibition with the ratification of the 21st Amendment, repealing the 18th Amendment. This legal reversal was a response to widespread public discontent with Prohibition and its ineffective enforcement, highlighting the dynamic nature of law and public opinion.In 1945, a mysterious event known as the disappearance of Flight 19 occurred. Five U.S. Navy bombers vanished over the Bermuda Triangle during a training flight, leading to extensive legal and investigative efforts to uncover the mystery, which remains unsolved.December 5th, 1955, saw the beginning of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a seminal event in the American Civil Rights Movement. This boycott, sparked by Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger, led to legal battles that ultimately resulted in the desegregation of public transportation in Montgomery, Alabama.More recently, on December 5th, 2013, the world mourned the death of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's former president and an anti-apartheid icon. Mandela's life and legal work underscored the power of law as a tool for social justice and change.These events, spanning across different centuries, central figures and continents, reflect the diverse and profound impact of legal developments and personalities on our global history. They serve as reminders of how law is intertwined with cultural, social, and political realms, shaping and being shaped by the human experience.Consumer lawyers are advocating for the consolidation of approximately 20 lawsuits filed since August 2023 against pharmaceutical companies Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. These lawsuits, related to the GLP-1 receptor agonists drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, allege that the companies failed to adequately warn consumers about severe side effects, including stomach and intestinal paralysis or obstruction. The motion for consolidation, led by attorneys from Morgan & Morgan, seeks to centralize the cases in the Western District of Louisiana, aiming to streamline the discovery process and avoid conflicting rulings from different judges.Novo Nordisk, responding to the filings, stated that its drugs have been thoroughly studied and are continuously monitored for safety. Eli Lilly, another defendant in the lawsuits, has not yet responded. The companies have previously contested the claims, arguing that the side effects of these drugs are well-known and clearly stated on their labels.Morgan & Morgan, handling a significant portion of these lawsuits and investigating over 10,000 related claims, argues that centralization in Louisiana would be beneficial. U.S. District Judge James Cain, who is currently overseeing the first lawsuit filed with these side effects claims, is also considered for presiding over the potential multidistrict litigation (MDL).The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) is expected to hold its next hearing on this matter in January. This legal development underscores the growing scrutiny and legal challenges faced by pharmaceutical companies regarding the safety and disclosure of side effects of their medications.As Ozempic cases mount, consumer lawyers push to consolidate lawsuits | ReutersA new report from the State Bar of California reveals significant disparities in bar exam pass rates and other metrics among different types of law schools in the state. The report found that graduates of the 18 California-accredited law schools, which are not accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA), had a pass rate of just 21% on the July 2022 bar exam. In contrast, graduates from ABA-accredited law schools in California had a 67% pass rate.This discrepancy raises questions about the value and regulation of legal education in California. The report also highlighted the diversity and affordability of non-ABA-accredited schools. Students of color account for 56% of enrollment in California-accredited schools and 50% in unaccredited schools, compared to 46% in ABA-accredited schools.Additionally, tuition costs are significantly lower at California-accredited and unaccredited schools. The average cost for a Juris Doctor degree is $174,233 at an ABA-accredited school, $75,348 at a California-accredited school, and $33,115 at an unaccredited school.California's unique law school accreditation system allows graduates of California-accredited schools to take the bar exam only in California, while ABA-accredited school graduates can take the exam in any state. Graduates of unaccredited schools can also take the California Bar, but only after passing the state's First Year Law Students Exam, or "baby bar."The report also notes that California permits aspiring lawyers to study under a lawyer or judge without attending law school, although they must pass the baby bar, a path currently pursued by celebrity Kim Kardashian.Attrition rates differ significantly among the school types, with an 8% rate at ABA-accredited schools, 42% at California-accredited schools, and 51% at unaccredited schools.Overall, the report by the State Bar of California underscores the challenges and policy considerations regarding law school education, diversity, accessibility, and the likelihood of bar exam success in the state.California law schools lacking ABA approval show 21% bar pass rate - state report | ReutersThe board appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to oversee Walt Disney's theme parks has accused the company of providing millions of dollars' worth of benefits to employees of a previous local board, likening these perks to bribes. The 80-page report prepared for DeSantis and the Florida legislature alleges that Disney treated district employees like its own by offering complimentary annual passes, steep discounts, and other benefits. This practice, according to the report, led district employees to prioritize Disney's interests.The Reedy Creek District, established in 1967 to support Walt Disney World's development, enjoyed broad self-regulatory authority under Disney's control. The report claims that the old board was inverted to serve Disney, holding voting control and in need of reform. However, the current board does not accuse the previous board of criminal activity.The Central Florida Oversight Board will soon vote on whether to accept this report, which has been criticized by a Disney spokesperson as "revisionist history" and lacking credibility. Disney has not directly addressed the report's allegations, and the former board members were not immediately available for comment.The report also states that Disney provided benefits to employees, supervisors, retirees, and vendors, including complimentary passes and discounts on various services. From 2018 to the present fiscal year, the district reportedly spent between $1.78 million to $2.54 million annually on these benefits, initially funded by Disney but later reimbursed using taxpayer dollars.Additionally, the report highlights that former District Administrator John Classe charged about $166,000 to his district card over 15 months, with a significant portion on parties and celebrations. The unfolding dispute between Disney and Florida's government has led to lawsuits, with Disney suing Florida for allegedly weaponizing state government and the DeSantis-appointed board counter-suing over favorable deals to Disney.DeSantis board accuses Disney of controlling previous one with gifts | ReutersFormer U.S. President Donald Trump is attempting to appeal a decision that reinstated gag orders in his ongoing New York civil fraud case. These gag orders, initially imposed by Justice Arthur Engoron on October 3, prevent Trump from publicly speaking about court staff. The orders were issued after Trump shared a social media post falsely claiming the judge's top law clerk was U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's "girlfriend," leading to hundreds of threats against the court.The gag orders were briefly paused on November 16 by an appeals court judge, but they were reinstated by a mid-level state appeals court last Thursday. Trump has already been fined $15,000 for violating the gag order twice, with Engoron warning of steeper penalties for future breaches, including possible imprisonment.In the fraud case, Trump is accused of overstating his net worth by billions to deceive lenders and insurers, and the trial is now focused on damages after Engoron found Trump's financial statements fraudulent. Trump's lawyer, Clifford Robert, has requested permission from the Appellate Division to appeal the gag order's reinstatement to the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals. Robert argues that the orders infringe on Trump's First Amendment rights.Meanwhile, New York State Attorney General Letitia James, who initiated the case, seeks $250 million in penalties and aims to ban Trump from New York state real estate business. Trump denies the allegations, claiming political bias by James, a Democrat.In addition, Trump faces a similar gag order in a federal criminal case related to actions in the 2020 U.S. election. Overall, Trump is contending with four federal and state criminal indictments, to which he has pleaded not guilty.Trump seeks to appeal reinstated gag orders in New York civil fraud case | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

In this Diversity Dialogue edition, the Hon. Lillian Wan, the first and only Asian American woman to serve on any of the four departments of the Appellate Division, discusses her childhood, growing up with immigrant parents, the biases she confronted and how those life experiences made her the judge she is. “I wanted my courtroom to be a place where everyone feels welcome, everyone feels included, where everyone feels, regardless of the outcome—win, lose or draw— that I'm not going to prejudge you based on what you look like or where you come from and that you're going to get a fair shake in my courtroom, whether you love my decision or hate my decision, and that's still what I aspire to.” Transcript: https://ww2.nycourts.gov/sites/default/files/document/files/2023-10/Judge%20Wan.pdf

In Episode 21 of the Narcissistic Abuse Rehab Podcast, we delve into the topic ‘Julie Levine: A Coercive Control Advocate Battles A Rare Form of Cancer,' and the disturbing similarities between Julie and Catherine Kassenoff's experiences of coercive control, child custody in the Westchester Family Court, and adverse health outcomes. Like Catherine, Julie has allegedly suffered from years of cruel post-separation abuse from her ex-husband, Robert Levine, President of Food Direct, whose treatment of Julie was found to be "cruel and inhuman" by the court. After Julie's escape, she says Robert has withheld the financial judgement she won 20 years ago and made good on his promise that she would be forever estranged from her children, Jared and Jason. Julie has spent the last two decades advocating for survivors. However after decades of stress and heartache, she was diagnosed with MPN (Myeloproliferative neoplasms), a rare blood cancer.

Thanks!I've had several current and former federal judges on this podcast (with more in the pipeline), but I have not yet had a state judge as a guest—even though around 95 percent of cases are filed in state court. So I was delighted to interview Justice Rolando Acosta, who during more than 25 years on the bench was one of the most prominent and respected judges in the country. He served as a trial and appellate judge in New York from 1997 until earlier this year, when he stepped down after six years as Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, First Department. In March 2023, he joined the New York office of Pillsbury Winthrop as a litigation partner.In our conversation, Justice Acosta and I discussed his childhood growing up in the Dominican Republic, where living under a dictatorship instilled in him a deep appreciation for democracy; his time in college as a star pitcher for Columbia, which led him to seriously consider a career in professional baseball; his community organizing and work as a Legal Aid lawyer, public service that culminated in his judicial career; and threats to judicial independence—including his candid comments on the failed nomination of Justice Hector LaSalle to the New York Court of Appeals.My thanks to Justice Acosta—or Rolando, as he asked me to call him—for joining me.

The human brain is an incredible organ. You see, our brains spend every single moment firing signals so we can simply exist. On November 15, 2004, investigators would get a firsthand look at just how powerful the human brain can be. Peter Porco, a 52-year-old state Appellate Division court clerk and married father of two, was a man of habit. Peter had a simple morning routine- as many of us do, and November 15th was no different. Peter got out of bed, changed out of his clothes, went into his bathroom to freshen up over his sink, walked down the stairs, made some coffee, emptied the dishwasher, packed a lunch, wrote a check, walked over to his front door and ...collapsed to the floor...in a pool of his own blood. In truth November 15th was different…. Very different. Join Lisa, Matt, Jules and our very special guest Melissa- as we unpack one of the most savage crimes we've ever covered and debate who we believe was to blame. In the end, only you can decide- did the punishment fit the crime?

In this episode, I speak with three inspiring individuals: Michelle Sages, a Lead Deputy State Public Defender of the Denver Trial Office, Travis Weiner, a Deputy State Public Defender of the Greely Regional Office, and James Hardy, a Lead Deputy Public Defender in the Appellate Division of the Colorado State Public Defender. Together, they speak on The Defender's Union of Colorado and why it's essential to have a public service union. Then, they go into how they have been working with both state officials and the general public to gain support for their cause. They'll wipe away all misconceptions about public service unions and prove that despite the criticisms, a union is beneficial for everyone involved. Even though Colorado is in the top 5 states with the strongest public defense system, there is still a long way to go. Public service employees are still drastically underpaid and overworked, while clients are not receiving fair access to representation. Michelle, Travis, and James are actively advocating for a system that ensures public service employees can keep up with the requirements of their job while clients can get the help they desperately need. With their passion for transforming the system, Colorado public defense has a much brighter future. Key Topics and Takeaways: Michelle, Travis, and James explain how they got into public defense. [7:06] Why the defense union was created. [12:36] Reasons public service and a union are not in conflict. [28:45] Biggest goals of the union. [36:38] Problems with the leadership in public defense. [37:34] The legal & structural issues that the union faces. [56:06] How the union avoids becoming public defender centered. [1:10:57] Policy work that needs to be done. [1:17:11] The future of Colorado public defense. [1:27:32] Why the union is necessary. [1:33:43] Guests: Michelle Sages, Lead Deputy State Public Defender, Denver Trial Office Travis Weiner, Deputy State Public Defender, Greely Regional Office James Hardy, Lead Deputy Public Defender, Appellate Division, Colorado State Public Defender Resources: Defender Union of Colorado Polis, Democratic lawmakers and local governments are all squaring off over public bargaining rights Colorado's Public Defender's Office workers announce a union effort, but state laws stand in their way Colorado's public defenders launch union drive for lawyers and support staff. But there's a catch. "Highly Overworked and Grossly Underpaid": Why Public Defenders Launched a Union Memorable Quotes: “If we can't do this work without all of us, we need to improve the conditions for all of us.” (13:16, Travis) “I think a lot of people leave because they believe that the work is so important and they find themselves unable to do it in a satisfactory way within the system.” (18:31, Michelle) “Our goal as a union is to provide the best client representation we possibly can and to ensure effective representation for all of our clients and where we feel like that our system is falling short is in retention and creating a sustainable career path for folks, which long term hurts our clients' representation.” (29:30, James) “One of the problems with the revolving door system is oftentimes for supervisor positions, it's not who's the most qualified or the best fit, it's who's up next, Is that the best way to train the next generation of public defenders? Is that the best way to select someone that brand new public defenders are gonna look to and model after? I don't think so.” (37:52, James) “Everybody knows it is a totally open secret that it is a completely unconstitutional, dysfunctional system and people are not getting the representation that they deserve and need.” (43:57, Travis) “The system does not work if every gear in it is not functioning properly.” (1:06:26, Travis) “Having a system that's not functioning well does not benefit victims of these crimes either.” (1:08:17, Michelle) Contact Hunter Parnell: hwparnell@publicdefenseless.com Instagram www.publicdefenseless.com
