Less spent per capita (No obscene Insurance Company Profits); 100% coverage and a healthier population. And, yes, we have no death panels. Every time a single person dies while waiting for a surgery ( extremely rare) the lobbyist there play it up big time ignoring the hundreds of thousand down there that die because they came to treatment too late as a result of having no insurance coverage. No one there ever goes bankrupt or loses their home because of illness. The Medical Associations and the Insurance companies fought the same battles there 50 years ago and lost.

That is a very serious allegation to make against a lawyer.<br /><br /> I have seen zero evidence to support that claim, from you or from anyone else, except for the fact that Meier didn't want Dr. Roberts' written report in evidence. But wanting Dr. Roberts' report kept out is not evidence of Meier's disloyalty to his client <i>unless</i> the written report contradicted Dr. Nichols. If the written report supported Dr. Nichols' conclusions, Meier's wanting to keep it out of evidence shows his loyalty to his client, not the opposite.<br /><br />What evidence do you have that Roberts' written report contradicted Nichols? None that I have seen. And there are two pieces of evidence that show that Roberts' report confirmed Nichols' report: (1) you have previously stated that Roberts' oral report supported Nichols; and (2) Mangum, after reading Roberts' written report, didn't go back to the judge and say that she had a problem with her lawyer trying to keep out exculpatory evidence.<br /><br />Mangum has Roberts' written report and can show it to you. If it contradicts Nichols, she can move for a new trial on grounds that her lawyer did not afford her adequate representation. If the report is not forthcoming, the only inference is that it supports Nichols, and that you have been libeling Mr. Meier.A Lawyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773293499407151140.post-62238328921091285852013-12-20T10:42:00.051-08:002013-12-20T10:42:00.051-08:00It's ironic that you would post something like...It's ironic that you would post something like this on a website that defends and celebrates Mike Nifong that is operated by a man who supported police and prosecutorial misconduct in the Duke lacrosse rape hoax and to this day continues to cheer on and advocate for the perpetrator of the hoax.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773293499407151140.post-9067542295131499972013-12-20T02:58:22.201-08:002013-12-20T02:58:22.201-08:00Something needs to change with the justice system ...Something needs to change with the justice system in duke/durham land soon for the better, or it will become another test ground - not that it obviously isn't already - this time for the type event you know 'they' are itching for in their quest for more gun control instead of actually providing healthy and available mental health treatment and services in NC and USA (which duke helped to destroy, manipulate, and corrupt - mental health in USA - and which they make billions off of for their benefit only); and cops acting like rambo patrol and legions of the military with their brand new toys that they just have to try out.

Meier talked her out of having Dr. Roberts' report brought into the case... and that sealed any possibility she had of at least having a hung jury.<br /><br />I am aware that the attorneys that she was assigned would have Duke University Hospital and the medical examiner as their top priorities over her... that is why I tried to allow the Courts to give me permission to represent Mangum in court. But, it is very likely that even though the Courts may have agreed to such a deal that Mangum would've chosen to be represented by a turncoat defense attorney anyway.<br /></b>Nifong Supporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00893537130835998222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773293499407151140.post-21609823463061952722013-12-18T13:49:04.040-08:002013-12-18T13:49:04.040-08:00Walt, that was very helpful, as always, thank you....Walt, that was very helpful, as always, thank you.<br /><br />Other poster - i don't have to prove anything. How can you prove that anyway, unless you saw around here before 2006 and then after and now? Don't believe me ... no one else is braggin bout sporting a duke hooligan bumper sticker cept you ... maybe that should be your proof ... don't know. Does it have a devil on it?<br /><br />The report from Dr. Roberts was given to Ms. Mangum on the last day of the trial, and she had the lunch break before she testified to decide what to do with it with her lawyer. I do not know what it says since it was not a part of the trial after that accept for Ms. Mangum to be questioned by the judge about it after the lunch break as to what she wanted to do with it - which she followed her lawyer and did nothing at the time.

It is an accurte way to tell readers what rule is being cited.<br /><br /><i>"Where do you find these rules?"</i><br /><br />I subscribe to Thompson/West for a hard copy. However, they are available electronically from the Administrative Office of Courts website. I suspect there are other sources. <br /><br /><i>"Is Ms. Mangum involved in reviewing all the paperwork, or only the court clerk?"</i><br /><br />Crystal is responisble for preparing the record. The clerk prepares the transcript of what was said at trial. The record is all the paper filed in the case, or at least that part of the papers that Crystal wants as a record. If she omits something the state wants, they can ask that she include it. If she refuses, then there is a disupute to present to the Superior Court for settlement. <br /><br /><i>"Can she request what she wants and have heard any complaints or concerns that she has about the appeal?"</i> <br /><br />See above. <br /><br /><i>"Does she have an indigent lawyer assigned to answer any questions she may have?"</i><br /><br />The case is with the NC Office of Indigent Defendant Services Appellate Defender division. I don't know if a specific attorney has been assigned. I would think there has been though. <br /><br />Walt-in-DurhamWalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064038481537517025noreply@blogger.com
