Have I ever mentioned that I ...@Craig from Florida<br /><br />Have I ever mentioned that I really hope one of the many violent career criminal informants that received a 'get out of jail free' pass in exchange for false testimony in this case moves next door to you? I'm serious dude.<br /><br />All of this movie talk reminds me of a man I've read too much about in case docs. His name is Richie. As a matter of fact, I'm not the only one that believes this case was created for such a movie. Numerous government witnesses and others that support Paul Bergrin have made such statements.<br /><br />I could say stuff about Oscar, the informant that you believe and admire, that would (hopefully) turn your stomach, but I won't; at least not yet. ;)Vicky Gallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824040831924128720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995840003965974663.post-29983744651217522182013-06-06T14:12:33.852-04:002013-06-06T14:12:33.852-04:00Ironically, when Oscar talked about his "unil...Ironically, when Oscar talked about his "unilateral" plan to kill witnesses, Paul and Vinny should have contacted the FBI and made a deal to cooperate and shorten Vinny's sentence. Indeed, Vinny had outed almost everyone upon his arrest. Instead, when Oscar arrived and promised money, Paul and Vinny joined the fake conspiracy to obtain money for a defense strategy predicated on the absence of Junior the Panamanian and the Truck Driver. If the events depicted at trial aired as a movie, it would have an ending which makes no sense unless Paul promised an acquittal to Vinny (which he never expected) based on witnesses dying.Craig from Floridanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995840003965974663.post-1906620109919914702013-06-05T13:54:03.459-04:002013-06-05T13:54:03.459-04:00Craig,

I made some of the most outrageous statements that you'll ever come across. The worst of my outrageous statements resulted in my arrest when the main case agent figured it would have jury appeal for prosecutors. I did testify in my defense though and cleared-up the reasons for the lengthy statement. When the jury deliberated, they requested that tape and apparently they could tell that I was just really angry with the warped agents that harassed me for so many years. <br /><br />Besides, the hard drive (untouched) was in the trunk of my car, which was in the courthouse parking garage as I testified. Obviously I never bashed it with a hammer like I said in that crazy statement on the phone.<br /><br />Obviously you have never been abused, harassed, and pursued by an informant at the hands of scheming agents that seek to bury you.

What lawyer would joke about murdering witnesses? Paul would get more money if he has to confront the witness at trial. Paul's argument that Yolanda is a drug dealer but Paul was not was entrusted to the jury. Paul paid for the restaurant. Cocaine was delivered to the restaurant one day after the defendants were rounded up. I am unconnected to the case. I am merely a lawyer who practices in Florida. I see a lot of evidence from which the jury could draw inferences to support the verdict. Obviously, the jury believed that Paul was willing to use murder to silence witnesses. Paul sold and conspired to sell kilos of cocaine on a wholesale basis to a number of career criminals. Paul held money for a drug dealer in his office. In terms of a Movie, the Bergrin case is a cross between Wall Street and Scarface.

Nothing was off-limits. Paul wanted to win at any cost. Paul played with fire for years. The trial witnesses who were career criminals had a strong rapport with Bergrin based on Paul's willingness to break the rules. When Paul's family and future generations look back, they will recall Paul Bergrin as a man who went to the dark side and never came back. I wish he was innocent.

The way he rushed Paul through this trial, do you truly believe he would grant a new one? The theme of this trial was 'hurry, hurry, hurry' as soon as it was the defense's turn. He was in such a hurry that he couldn't wait for witnesses that the government successfully hid from the defense. If you read the transcripts, it's clear that the judge viewed the trial as over when the government rested their case. Additionally, most (if not all) defense witnesses were borderline ridiculed - the judge and prosecutors had the jury laughing at them. <br /><br />I think that we do know much of the untruthful testimony, but the statement in the post is more a reference to undisclosed information. There is new evidence. I think there is more information out there that we are missing and intend to state an appeal to the public in my next post this evening.Vicky Gallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824040831924128720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995840003965974663.post-12504424014975303242013-05-20T00:18:55.191-04:002013-05-20T00:18:55.191-04:00Vicky,

And you are appreciated for your honest work.<br /><br />As for Paul's motion I believe it was an exemplary piece of work and should most definitely be granted. I highly doubt the judge will put an acquittal to some of the charges (obviously because of political pressure) but I'm highly confident he will grant a new trial.<br /><br />What is needed to be known about these witnesses? I thought we knew everything about their untruthful testimony. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
