And that is a 99.9% probability. The remaining<br /> .1% probability is allowed for lawyers who are geniuses and those who are lucky. Further, based on the limited documents and information available online, there is no indication Mr. Levitt had ever previously handled any criminal defense, much less a felony defense, something that would also be highly pertinent to a rational estimation of the probablility that Brad Wade could have possibly had effective assistance of counsel, under the circumstances. If that is so, i.e., Mr. Levitt had never previously tried a felony case, the probability of ineffective assistance in Brad's trial would necessarily have to be raised to 99.99%. Because luck does happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-26909204481860545182010-08-03T22:09:07.262-04:002010-08-03T22:09:07.262-04:00Bill, I am beginning to understand your point rega...Bill, I am beginning to understand your point regarding Georgia "justice". I am a retired detective sergeant from Los Angeles County, CA sheriff's dept. and have submitted many cases to the DA's there. We moved to Georgia 5 years ago. My stepson was involved in a business dispute with a contractor which resulted in his arrest for "reckless conduct" (a misdemeanor) on a Friday evening 15 months ago. He remained in jail without bail for 3 days until a hearing before a judge who set his bail at $5000.00. I posted the cash bail and he was released with a notice that he would be "notified of a court arraignment date by mail". It is now 15 months later with no "notification" of a court date. I contacted the "solicitor's" office and was advised that a "notification" would be forthcoming in SEPTEMBER.<br /><br />My stepson has since settled his "dispute" with the "victim"/contractor who does not wish the prosecution to proceed. Meanwhile, the county has $5000.00+ of my cash and $550.00 worth of "evidence". My stepson is also prohibited from leaving the jurisdiction of the court without permission.<br /><br />As bad as the criminal justice system is in California, this outrageous situation could never occur. The Georgia statute of limitations on misdemeanors is two years and it appears that the county is prepared to allow it to expire. I also suspect that legal counsel will ultimately need to be retained at considerable expense in order to obtain a dismissal and have the bail released.ΛΕΟΝΙΔΑΣhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976785560712692275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-87353117445585198302010-08-03T18:08:23.362-04:002010-08-03T18:08:23.362-04:00She must be bucking the right people in the LMJC.....She must be bucking the right people in the LMJC...Wonder who that might be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-43209384523000310932010-08-03T16:43:42.310-04:002010-08-03T16:43:42.310-04:00volfan,

Most people in the rural areas never knew any of them or what they were all about. Many still don't. But those in cities knew of them, many worked with them. Many Southerners fought alongside Jews in the Confederate Army. There were actually more Jewish chaplains in Confederate service than Catholic chaplains, that's how many there were. I don't believe that most Southerners believed Jews to not be white throughout the history of the South. I think that Jews only really became a target of hatred after it became perceived that many Jews from the North were coming down into the South to help Blacks register to vote and work for civil rights.Lamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-48786738461169712822010-08-03T01:03:33.457-04:002010-08-03T01:03:33.457-04:00But NO WAY would Southern white men in 1912 delibe...<i>But NO WAY would Southern white men in 1912 deliberately prosecute a white man for this kind of crime if they thought a black had done it.<br /></i><br /><br />That's true, but white Southerners, by and large, didn't consider Jews to be "white" at all. <br /><br />As for Jim Conley, contemporary accounts of his arrest and interrogation by police state that he held up so well to the intense grilling by the cops (that probably bordered on, if not consisted of, torture) that they became convinced of his innocence and shifted their focus to Frank. The locals had it in for Frank anyway, not only because he was a Jew, but because he was also 1) a Yankee from New York and 2) an industrialist. They probably could have tolerated any one of those three characteristics in isolation, but all three combined in one man was too much to bear. The murder of Mary Phagan served as a convenient pretext for a lynching (both physical and judicial).liberranterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555275410576294081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-5343224113943508282010-08-02T15:07:19.661-04:002010-08-02T15:07:19.661-04:00You didn't mention that the "other person...You didn't mention that the "other person" in the Leo Frank case was a black man named Jim Conley. Do you really think that Georgia public officials nearly a century ago would let a black man they believed guilty of the rape-murder of a white girl go free? There was plenty of circumstantial evidence that Frank was guilty. <br /><br />There was not THAT much anti-Jewish feeling.<br /><br />Do you think a black man in the Georgia of 1912 would murder a white girl and not run off? Would he be confident that he could convince the authorities that his boss, the plant manager, did it? <br /><br />I AM totally against the lynching of Leo Frank. The lynchers should have been held to account. But NO WAY would Southern white men in 1912 deliberately prosecute a white man for this kind of crime if they thought a black had done it. <br /><br />Furthermore, I want the prosecutors of Tonya Craft disbarred at the very least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-6247621318063656182010-08-02T13:39:17.966-04:002010-08-02T13:39:17.966-04:00Georgia State Bar
