Here is a comment by my lawyer, Joseph M. Orlando, on the latest twist.<br /><br />"There are some falsehoods that are so emotionally inflammatory that they impede the jury's ability impartially to evaluate facts and adjudicate a case."<br /><br />With these words the Massachusetts Court of Appeals struck down a $22.5 million judgement levied against Mt. Ivy Press and Jane Daniel. Yet, inexplicably, the Court allowed the judgement for Vera Lee to stand. <br /><br />Where a jury is determined to be unable to dispassionately and impartially evaluate the evidence offered, then any verdict from that jury, for or against any party, is fatally flawed. <br /><br />On that basis, Orlando & Associates will seek direct Appellate Review from The Supreme Judicial Court. - J.M.O.<br /><br />To read the Request for Appellate Review we just filed with the SJC, please see my blog:<br /><br />bestsellerthebook.blogspot.com <br /><br /><br />--Jane Danielhttp://bestsellerthebook.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139998.post-27590555719315056352010-11-25T07:59:56.909-05:002010-11-25T07:59:56.909-05:00A priori lost?
Robert, help me understand process...A priori lost?<br /><br />Robert, help me understand process in this case. <br /><br />While the Mass. SJC opinion "gets" that Defonseca did perpetrate fraud upon the court, her cohort Lee can claim credit for 80 percent of the fraudulent story, but not be culpable in the fraud, negligence as a writer, interpreter and researcher or riding on the coat tails of Defonseca's fraud?<br /><br />Can Lee, the college professor and of the Jewish faith, claim such ignorance and entitlement at the same time?<br /><br />Apparently, the Mass. SJC says yes.<br /><br />Yet, the Mass. SJC also cannot get even basic material facts in the case straight, eg. the original trial date or the length of the trial, but most importantly what is actually in the original trial transcripts and evidence.<br /><br />Buried under the myriad of other case citations in each set of judges' "opinion" of the case (2001, 2005, 2008, 2010) are mistakes of material fact.<br /><br />Is there only recourse against Defonseca's fraud (behind the IRS) or does Lee's culpability finally come to the forefront?<br /><br />Time lines and fact checking from the original sources found in the 2001 trial transcripts and evidence bind Lee's activities with Defonseca's.<br /><br />Does the process allow for going back to the original swamp and alligators problem?<br /><br />Sharon SergeantAncestralManorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955861722299073150noreply@blogger.com
