Joel DeFabio -- back to back Not Guilty verdicts

Hot off his win in the Liberty City 7 case, Joel DeFabio won last night in the Haitian slave case. In both, his client was the only full acquittal.

Here's the Herald article and the Sun-Sentinel article.

ADDED: From the comments, Rumpole jokes:

One more NG within the calendar year and the DOJ will have no choice but to convene a grand jury on obstruction of justice charges. Plus there must be some guidelines enhancement for winning a case and pissing the US attorneys off.

    Jan Smith and Helaine Batoff of the FPD walked their guy on the slavery charges. Congrats to them as well!
