February 2, 2020 | FlaglerLive | 32 Comments

The building in back could use some repairs. (US Capitol)

In his 40 years as a lawyer, the author has never seen a trial flout the basic requirements for fairness so brazenly. In a real trial, any juror who admitted conspiring with the defendant would be unceremoniously ejected from the jury, for starters.

Federal Appeals Court Hears Arguments on Repayments as Condition to Restoring Florida Felons’ Voting Rights

January 27, 2020 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

Florida law makes certain Americans less than 100 percent so. Above, officials from the Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections Office in an undated Florida Memory photo believed to be from the 1950s.

The fight is rooted in the wording of the 2018 constitutional amendment, which restored voting rights to felons “who have completed all terms of their sentence, including parole or probation,” excluding people “convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense.”

Flawed Marijuana-Impaired DUI Testing Means Wrongful Prosecutions and Lax Enforcement

January 19, 2020 | FlaglerLive | 7 Comments

DUI checkpoints can rely on relatively effective breath tests to check for alcohol-impaired drivers, but law enforcement has no equivalent to reliably test for marijuana impairment.

DUI-testing for marijuana impairment is inaccurate, easily disputed and defeated. The result is uneven prosecution. Innocent drivers are being wrongly convicted. Impaired drivers are remaining undetected, posing a potential safety risk to everyone on the road.

Death Row’s Cornelius Baker a No-Show at His Own Pre-Trial Ahead of Potential Reprieve

January 15, 2020 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

Cornelius Baker was a no-show at today's pre-trial, taking advantage of the judicial equivalent of an excused absence--excused by the judge, though his own attorney was not aware that Baker had waived his presence, and the pre-trial had to be re-set for Feb. 4. Circuit Judge Margaret Hudson is presiding over the case. It is prosecuted by Assistant State Attorney Jason Lewis and Assistant State Attorney Tammy Jaques, right, and defensed by Junior Barrett (standing with the lawyers, closest to the camera).

Lawyers and the judge in the re-sentencing case of convicted murderer Cornelius Baker focused on a lengthy questionnaire about the death penalty the defense planned to submit to potential jurors. The judge ordered the questionnaire significantly shortened.

How Wealthy Towns Keep People With Section 8 Housing Vouchers Out

January 12, 2020 | FlaglerLive | 13 Comments

Grim Day for Snelgrove’s Defense as Prosecution Makes Largely Unanswered Case for Death

To reservations from the defense, the jury watched video and saw pictures of the crime scene following the murders of Glyn and Vivian Fowler in Palm Coast 20 years ago, part of a penalty phase–the third in 18 years–requiring the jury to decide whether to recommend death for Snelgrove or life in prison.
