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:

Blog topics
I guess I should be blogging about the new crack guidelines become retroactive today, but instead I'll point you to this funny post at AboveTheLaw about our blackout last week.
Slowwwww blogging
I apologize for the slow blogging recently.
But what's going on in the District? Any news you want to share? Email it to me so I can post about it (anonymously if you'd like).
In any event, I hear that the "Haitian slave" case is coming to a close in the next day or two.
The Liberty City Seven/Six case is plugging along.
The new building is still closed.
And it's March already!
