Elizabeth's new attorney is Marc J Victor. His website is here:

http://www.attorneyforfreedom.com/

(Some of the lawyers listed show other employment with the AZ Bar (http://www.azbar.org/ ) , so I don't know if this site is up to date.)

Mr. Victor has a civil rights practice in addition to criminal defense, which might be a good fit for Elizabeth.

On the downside, Mr. Victor was investigated by the Arizona Attorney General for alleged violations of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act in connection with advertising for loan modification services. In October 2010, he entered into a an ASSURANCE OF DISCONTINUANCE with the State, agreed to reimburse his aggrieved clients and pay the State 15k for costs of the investigation. (He admitted no liability)

Soo- imo an odd choice for a woman who has accused a prior attorney of false advertising and misrepresentation. Or is it just perfect?

moo
 
Just heard that the link to the pdf of the ASSURANCE OF DISCONTINUANCE is not working. Here is the Maricopa Clerk and Recorder link:

http://recorder.maricopa.gov/recdocdata/

You can search for Marc J Victor on 11/05/2010. It will show as a MISC RECORD. Or, enter the filing number #20100970975.

When the search detail page pops up , click the page # (10) under "pages" and the entire 10 page document will show as a pdf.

Here is second try at posting the pdf:

Judge tosses evidence in case of missing 'Baby Gabriel'

Posted by Steve Stout
By Jose Miguel


PHOENIX (CBS5/AP) - A key piece of evidence in the trial of the mother of an Arizona baby missing for more than two years was thrown out of court early Monday morning.

Twenty-five-year-old Elizabeth Johnson has pleaded not guilty to charges of child abuse, kidnapping and custodial interference in the case of her missing son, Gabriel, who was 8 months old when he went missing.

Johnson has been jailed without bond since January 2010, a month after her son disappeared in Texas.

On Monday, a judge ruled that admissions made by Johnson to a detective from San Antonio, TX, in a Phoenix jailhouse interview in May of 2010 violated her Sixth Amendment rights because she was questioned without an attorney present.

There was also some question as to whether a detective from another state has the legal right to question a suspect about a case in Arziona. The ruling means the statements Johnson made to the detective can never be introduced in court.

"She could even testify and say something radically different and they still couldn't use that statement to impeach her," said her attorney, Marc Victor...

What? Release?

Elizabeth wants her bail lowered which is at 1.1 mil right now. Her defense team has also argued that she ought to be released pending trial as some sort of sanction for having her 6th amendment rights violated by the San Antonio detective who talked to her in jail. Listening to the testimony in the TPS trial (EJ says she's about to get on a plane, you'll never find me) I think that if she is released on bond, she's right, we'll never find her.

I hear you. Thanks for being so patient in explaining the background to me :)
 
Hi all,

I'm new to this case and just started following Tammi's trial.

Is the popular consensus that G was illegally given to a family in TX and they have never come forward OR that he is deceased?

I don't think I represent the general consensus...I believe he is alive and I believe Tammi Smith knows exactly where he is. There is factual information that most likely will not be presented at trial regarding phone calls placed at the very same time as Gabriel was supposedly being handed over in the park. These calls were between Jack and his adult son and brother [ame="http://websleuths.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7735435&postcount=247"]Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - View Single Post - Tammi Smith -The Charges[/ame]
