When my former son in law was denied to appeal to the Court of Appeals They called him that very same day and told him to report ASAP. Their own ADA called our lawyer and told them if I went to court when he turned himself in they had a special 'surprise' for me, and I shouldn't come. I wasn't going but when I got the call I wanted to go.
After the SIL was convicted Jim Hudson set $250k-500K BAIL ON HIM PENDING APPEAL. OUR LAWYER went to Supreme Court to allow him the chance to post the bail. The DA appeals lawyer told our lawyer he wasn't going to make a strong effort - wink wink. The ADA, Peter Timmons, hr tried the case came to court trying to get the judge to remand him to jail. The appeals lawyer no longer works for the DA and so I can write this story. A real decent human being who I will never forget his kindness.
Timmmons had a wife named Denise Merrifield and I am told her daughter work for the DA. Both were let go by the new DA, and I suspect Timmons got the message and left the DA office after serving 25years.
Tom Spota, I wish you no bad luck, just not good luck. Truth is I wish you live for another 100 years spending that $17 MILLION $ YOU have on lawyers before you drop dead.
