A legal FYI: While not wanting to "put the cart before the horse", the legal landscape that might develop in the aftermath of a defendant friendly outcome in United States v. Fischer -- to be heard by the Supreme Court tomorrow -- is going to be much trickier than the public might imagine. It is not nearly so simple as to think "My conviction is overturned and I go back to the District Court to get less time." That will be the goal, but the path to reach that goal is a tricky one -- very tricky. There are obstacles that will need to be overcome, and in some instances the failure of prior counsel to take certain steps might prove to a barrier to seeking relief. I have begun to work with others on understanding how that landscape will likely develop and what is the correct path to take in order to obtain the maximum benefit from a favorable Supreme Court decision. I have looked at the outcome of all my clients cases, and I have only one where the outcome of Fischer might have a significant impact. So I am going to be wide open -- willing and anxious -- to take on new clients who have suffered a conviction on Sec. 1512 and, for whatever reasons, prefer to not have their prior counsel represent them again as part of any proceedings in the aftermath of a favorable Fischer outcome. It is almost unheard of for a single charge to have been applied to such a large number of defendants all arising out of the same set of operative facts -- and then for that charge to be invalidated. Defendants will have only one opportunity to chart the right path to receive the maximum benefit if the Court throws out the 1512 counts. If you are a J6 Defendant in this situation, or you know a J6 Defendant in this situation, and they are interested in having me look at their case, you can find me here.
@shipwreckedcrew I've got a couple
@shipwreckedcrew Won’t the vengeful ridden DOJ add Superseding Indictment’s to everyone of these people that gets a break on a 1512 charge?
@shipwreckedcrew It would be a good decision to require all federal judges to be natural born citizens. I would be pissed to be in front of a judge in a federal case who was born in Venezuela and got their citizenship 10 years ago after living for most of their life somewhere else.
@shipwreckedcrew The law you were convicted under was unconstitutional but it doesn't matter. We are a third world country.
@shipwreckedcrew Not all heroes wear capes. You, sir, are a hero!
