I remember the trial well as the verdict was on the Friday before new years eve 1999. My opening line of the closing: "welcome to the last trial of the millennium" <br /><br />It's a great song.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-77595462535439588472012-04-12T10:37:18.105-04:002012-04-12T10:37:18.105-04:00Stu is the embodiment of the old- school Miami tri...Stu is the embodiment of the old- school Miami trial attorney. He would try anything, at the drop of a hat. Fearless. Not flashy. Toiled in relative anonymity, and liked it that way. Most comfortable in a court room. Discovery or bad facts never got in the way of the defense he crafted and delivered in concise fashion. Juries love him.<br /><br />When you were still in law school (Miami for your first 5 semesters, before you transferred to night school at Harvard for one semester) Stu and I represented the same client who had two separate cases. Johnny Sanders. The client was a charming, charismatic person, who happened to be an habitual offender. Two serious cases against him, one more serious than the other. Either one would have earned him a 15 year min man, and likely more. Stu took the more defensible case and a reasonable fee (for a reasonable doubt), the client was declared indigent and I was appointed to the less defensible case. Stu then filed a demand for speedy trial (I think he hand wrote the demand in court and had the clerk stamp the "motion") so he could try his case before mine, took no depos, seated 5 women his age on the jury, and the kernel of his defense was "WHERE'S THE BEEF!" which he bellowed often in his opening and closing (anyone over 45 remembers the Wendy's commercial...) The juoros giggled. The young prosecutor didn't understand.<br /><br />After the Not Guilty Verdict, he shook my hand, gave me the Stu smile and said "ok kid, its all up to you."<br /><br />The whole trial I had to listen to Johnny say "Stu would've done it this way...."Callinoreply@blogger.com
