I would have to hear the recording and Mr. Love for myself to know whether I'd trust his testimony, or not. However, we entrust the jurors to do that for us, so I'll just trust the jury on that one.<br /><br />Do note that the government found lies acceptable on the part of their own witnesses. Hell, one called in a death threat on himself (Oscar) and you can't get much worse than that. The government has proved to me that crime does pay if you're with them.<br /><br />The newspapers are biased in favor of the government. I'm biased in favor of Paul Bergrin. The jurors saw and heard all of the evidence and the discrepancies in testimony and no matter what happens, we must respect the decisions on each count.<br /><br />I do feel that the end was premature because I know that Bergrin had numerous additional witnesses. So many rulings against Bergrin throughout this trial that he will have grounds for appeal if it doesn't go his way.<br /><br />Vicky Gallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824040831924128720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995840003965974663.post-48209035078283000272013-03-11T17:49:00.941-04:002013-03-11T17:49:00.941-04:00Mr. Love was in court.

You can tell that he was frightened by the government because he is making a very bold move.<br /><br />The gentleman from Jamaica is not testifying via Skype anymore they just read his statement and I believe they submitted it for the jury to read. Which in my eyes is better than an actually face to face testimony..<br /><br />Case wise Paul is on the road for an acquittal if the jury sees the lies the government has brought into the courtroom. If Paul was such a bad person why did they wait until 2009 to indict him? Maybe because they knew Anthony Young's testimony would be disastrous by itself?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995840003965974663.post-51165571727831891762013-03-11T16:27:10.009-04:002013-03-11T16:27:10.009-04:00Why is Cavanaugh ruling against Bergrin calling tw...Why is Cavanaugh ruling against Bergrin calling two more witnesses? There was a list of incarcerated witnesses given to the US Marshal's Office back in mid-February, the 11th I believe. Why can't this be managed? What is wrong with these people?<br /><br />Paul Bergrin has every right to put on a defense - I do not give a rat's ass if the trial goes for another month and neither should Judge Cavanaugh. Where in the hell is he in such a hurry to get to? This is supposedly his job!<br /><br />Yes, no matter what decisions Lemont Love made that landed him in prison, he has nothing at all to gain and his testimony is more valid than any of the government's witnesses. You mention body language - Was Mr. Love in court or on the phone?<br /><br />One thing I will say here - Ritchie Roberts was worthless as a defense attorney to Lemont Love - I saw the sentences for his charges.

Only part that made no sense was when the prosecutor was taking Mr. Love's phone conversation out of context. You could autmotically tell that the prosecutor was trying to discredit Mr. Love in other ways rather than continuing to ask him about the FBI agents that wanted him to make up lies about Paul. <br /><br />The Government really sabotaged Paul from having a stronger defense by not offering immunity to Paul's witnesses. I'm not sure if Paul really needs to have a stronger defense because so far he's looking good.<br /><br />Paul asked for a longer defense so he could have the US Marshals bring in 2 more witnesses but the judge ruled against him which I found to be unfair. The judge complained about the trial taking 9 weeks but it's because of the government the trial took 9 weeks not because of Paul.<br /><br />Hopefully by early next week we find a NOT GUILTY verdict. Another hung jury is not going to be productive. Mr. Love did a very courageous thing today & you can tell by his tone of voice and body language that he is afraid of repercussions from the Government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
