There is lots of excellent real estate and property, some of which is for sale, some for vacations and many for investing. Expartriates are flocking. Read about a mysterious medicine woman fifteen minutes outside of Panama City, Panama. It is a fascinating read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9532013.post-1165283468518249842006-12-04T20:51:00.000-05:002006-12-04T20:51:00.000-05:00Under the Massachusetts statute, the chemist's cer...Under the Massachusetts statute, the chemist's certificate is prima facie evidence of the type and quantity of the alleged drugs. Requiring the defendant to show good cause to call the chemist is very much like requiring him to stipulate to the facts set forth in the certificate unless he has evidence calling the results into question. It removes from the state the burden of establishing elements of the crime.Richard Klibanerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10961867987412716099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9532013.post-1159371162528999372006-09-27T11:32:00.000-04:002006-09-27T11:32:00.000-04:00Here in Virginia, we can get a certificate of anal...Here in Virginia, we can get a certificate of analysis from the state lab in less that 5 months. Meanwhile, defendant is in custody. If you complain, the judge will nolle prosse the case, then your client will suffer a new arrest on a straight indictment. New bond and no finding out the facts at a preliminary hearing.<BR/>At trial, if you were to subpoena the chemist to court in all your cases, I am sure that such a lawyer would be removed from the court appoinyed list, or, if an assistant pd, told to stop it or be fired.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9532013.post-1154702923800389652006-08-04T10:48:00.000-04:002006-08-04T10:48:00.000-04:00A defendant in FL could be giving up something pot...A defendant in FL could be giving up something potentially valuable at trial by calling the analyst in his or her case.<BR/><BR/>Under Florida law--at least until October 1, 2006, a defendant who calls a witness or introduces any evidence forfeits the right to first and last word in closing argument. The legislature recently passed a statute giving the State first and last word in closing--It remains to be seen what happens to the rules of criminal procedure.Rocky Sharwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11887169516676754915noreply@blogger.com
