Hmm sounds interesting. Is this the one that said it wasn't him it was his buddy?

Yes. And they think there may be a third one.

Nah, it will never get to trial that quickly. You won't be on this case. I think it would be extremely interesting to be on a jury, but I'll never be picked for one

Oh, I know that case won't be the one. I just think it's scary I'd be on any jury.

I did have a case once, a child molest case, and it was a hung jury. After the trial the jurors wanted to speak to both lawyers, so we were allowed to go in the jury room and they told us a lot about thier thought process. It was fascinating and helped with prep for the retrial which instead of hung was 3 counts not guilty and 2 counts guilty. Since it was impossibe for the truth to shake out that way, it was clearly a compromise verdict.

I did hear that. Do you know who is representing any of them? I guess I could look online

Oh wow, Garrett Simpson is Hausner's lawyer. I worked with him at the Maricopa County PDs office. He actually won a bunch of money on Jeopardy! years ago.

You own't believe this, but I have to appear at the Superior Court complex in Surprise, AZ.

Remember Surprise? It was a farming town when you were here.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #156 on:** August 10, 2006, 08:56:45 PM »

Did you ever have to go out to the Peoria Justice Court when you were here?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #157 on:** August 10, 2006, 08:58:15 PM »

No. When I started I was in Northeast and South. Then I switched "groups" in the office and was in Tempe, East Mesa, West Mesa, Chandler and Scottsdale

Cillaliz · « **Reply #158 on:** August 10, 2006, 08:59:05 PM »

I don't know Garrett's co-counsel, but I know both lawyers representing the other defendant and both prosecutors

It was a tiny place when I lived there. People from Surprise always seemed to be late for jury duty

That's really true. We used to laugh about it

I used to go to Surprise -- or maybe it was El Mirage. Nice people, but they had no interpreter. They'd get Al, the custodian, to interpret. It was funny -- the defendant would talk for two or three minutes before the judge would interupt and say, "What did he say, Al?" and Al would say, "He said he didn't do it."

But I only had Justice Court one day a week or so. The rest of the time it was Superior Court.

Too funny. I used to have that happen when I was in private practice in small town Iowa.

Alas, I chose to have a family, and my working days in the court ended. I never got to Superior Court. I only got to Peoria.

Hello people!! I have missed you .

Life has been frantic... Mom's been in and out of the hospital twice in the past two and half weeks, she was originally diagnosed with shingles but since then has been having, what for lack of a better word, I will call seizures... all her limbs flail uncontrollably, her head lolls, her mouth droops and her eyes roll and she cannot speak... this will last for 15 minutes or so then she slowly regains control of her body over the next several hours until she is back to normal....

She spent the past two days in the hopsital for observation, they gave her several MRI's and a Cat scan and have declared her "normal" except of course for the two brain tumors they discovered two years ago... but they don't think they could possibly be affecting her.......

They sent her home today saying that there was "nothing" wrong with her other than the shingles....

If I ever write a novel and use stuff from my cases, (which I have often been told to do, but never really wanted to) I would mostly use the Arizona days. In general, the cases I had out there were a lot stranger and would be a lot more interesting to read about

The natives are getting restless here. I better sign off, get them their night time treats and try to get some sleep.

Thanks for the fun conversation, Laura
