John Giglio Case Summary

He had been found guilty by the jury after deliberating for just under an hour. Charges included possession of cocaine, resisting arrest without violence, possessions of paraphernalia, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Added to the substantial evidence against him, the prosecutor referenced his prior criminal during the sentence, in an attempt to sway the judge to levy a harsher punishment. It’s possible to say that from the very beginning, the defendant was in a tough situation, and really squandered an opportunity to get a shorter sentence. During the sentencing, the defendant asked the judge to assert a punishment he deemed fitting for the circumstances of the crime, but also considerate enough where he had the opportunity to be with him family as soon as possible.

Cary, this is in response to your memo dated March 13, 2017 related to Frederick Brinkley and the Salvati v. Deutsche Bank class action he opted out of. You will recall that the Salvati case involved the allegation that McCabe Weisberg (debt collection law firm) charged bogus amounts for projected attorney fees in their foreclosure complaints. In the Salvati Complaint, McCabe Weisberg charged $1,450.00 to the foreclosure Defendant, the exact same amount they charged Mr. Brinkley in the April 30, 2012 Foreclosure Complaint they filed against him in Philadelphia. It appears that Frederick falls within the Salvati class definition, and his opting out preserved his claims. I believe we do not have any problems with the statute of limitations,

It is still unknown exactly what the burglars were looking for, but it played little role in the 1972 presidential campaign. A pair of Washington Post journalists began publishing investigative stories that made it clear that persons close to the president had ordered the burglary and then tried to “cover up” White House involvement. Further Congressional hearings revealed a larger pattern of wiretapping, break-ins, and attempts to sabotage political opposition. The fact that Nixon had made tape recordings of conversations that took place in his office, caused Archibald Cox to get involved. He was a special prosecutor that the president reluctantly hired to investigate the Watergate affair.

On June 30 he was indicted on the charges. Sloots home was raided and the U.S department of justice found a few items that may have been useful to the case. One of the items belonged to Jaap Mesz who was one of the reporters that interviewed Sloot. The information brought Dave Holloway back to look for possible new clues but as before, no findings. Five years

The epilogue starts out by telling us what happen at the trial. All of the people who knew Raskolnikov said that the murders were out of character for him. Raskolnikov told the judge or magistrate a minute by the minute retelling of what happened. He told them about how he did not intend to kill Lizaveta. He talked about the fake pledge he made and where he hid the purse with the money he stole.

When a defendant is sued for federal banking or healthcare laws the court is allowed to freeze assets if they have been gained as a result of the crime. In 2012 Sila Luis was charged with health care crimes. A petition for a pre-trial order which would prevent Luis from using her assets was filled. Luis objected claiming that criminal forfeiture of her money would prevent her from hiring a lawyer and is thus in violation of her Sixth Amendment rights. The case was reviewed during the Eleventh Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals for and the restraint of untainted assets which were needed to hire legal defense was proven to be in violation of the Sixth

P alleges false arrest. P alleges she was waiting for Ms. Lindsay (non-party) outside a Chase Bank. P states that after Ms. Lindsay did not return for a long time, P entered the bank and asked Ms. Lindsay to hurry then left the bank. P alleges she was arrested and 16 days later he was indicted. MOS, the 17th precinct anti-crime team, state that MOS received a call from a bank teller at Chase Bank who reported that an individual was attempting to cash a forged check.

The 5 men arrested for the attack spent between 6 and 12 years in prison for a crime they did not commit. This event could have influenced Harper Lee because in the book it is a white lawyer defending a black man for rape charges and the same kind of thing happened in real life with the central park five. The five men who were tried in court sued the city of New York in 2003 for malicious prosecution, racial discrimination, and emotional distress. The case was settled in 2014 for $41 million. Later in 2014 the 5 men are trying to get another $52 million from the state of New York.

The San Francisco Chronicle published stories in 2004 about a BALCO steroids investigation, involving grand jury testimony of four baseball stars, Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield, and sprinter Tim Montgomer. In 2006, Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru Wada, the two San Francisco Chronicle reporters, were ordered jailed by a federal judge after they refused to divulge their source. The reporters repeatedly had said they would rather go to jail than reveal how they obtained the transcripts from a grand jury that investigated the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. A federal court judge ruled that Williams and Fainaru-Wada must testify before a federal grand jury and reveal the name of the confidential source that leaked information to them

An example of this branch checking another branch June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled that section three of the “Defense of Marriage Act" is unconstitutional and that the government can’t discriminate against married L/G couples in deciding federal protection or benefits. The Judicial Branch rightfully checked this Congress law in an attempt to stop governmental prejudice. An instance of the Judicial Branch being checked is 1805 Associate Justice Samuel Chase was impeached due to expressing his strict federalist ideas in the court and the idea of Judges serving for life irritating Thomas Jefferson; The House of Reps passed the articles of impeachment, and then was acquitted by the Senate. This shows that the other branches have the right (with the right resources) to impeach Supreme Court justices if they step out of
