GOLF - Bob Betley Wins for All Americans
22:20 Golf Hall of Famer Bob Betley Wins for All Americans On page one of “The Rules of Golf: The Spirit of the Game" there is a discussion about a player's responsibility to abide by these rules. It’s the true spirit of sportsmanship, stating: "All players shall conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of golf." Golf has been touted for centuries as a "gentlemen's game," and, rightly so. For Champion Hall of Famer, Bob Betley, “The Spirit of the Golf Game” has exemplified his entire professional career. And, although Bob got a late start in playing the game, he made up for it quickly, turning pro just a couple of years after taking up the game seriously. With his wife and caddie, Jane, at his side, he won the Utah Open in 1979 and went on to win state open titles in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Idaho, piling up a more than 75 tournament victories and over $1 million in career earnings along the way. Bob's biggest win as a pro came when he won the 1993 Bank of Boston Classic on the Senior PGA Tour. He also finished second in the Shootout at Jeremy Ranch, losing a memorable 8-hole, sudden-death playoff to former U.S. Open champ Orville Moody in the Utah Senior Tour event. He was a “gentleman” amongst gentlemen and on top of his game – but then tragedy struck. Bob was seriously and permanent injured when his car was rear-ended by an underinsured driver. As a result, he hasn't been able to golf or enjoy one of his other great talents, painting – primarily wildlife oils and portraits – since then. No more golf, no more travel, no more painting. In an instant, Bob’s livelihood and way of life ceased to exist. Despite the trauma and hardship, he and his wife were determined to soldier on. As hardworking, responsible, and honest as ever, they thought they could handle things themselves. They filed a claim with their own auto insurance company (a “first-party claim”) and assumed they’d be treated fairly – just like in the spirit of golf. But instead, their insurance company didn’t abide by that “gentleman’s” spirit of golf” – no, they stalled. They repeatedly lost paperwork, and wouldn’t even return phone calls. So finally, Bob and Jane – Team Betley – had had enough. They called Siegfried & Jensen. Sadly, this is a scenario that the attorneys at Siegfried & Jensen knew all too well. They saw to it that the insurance company did its job and compensated Bob and Jane as required, but then they took it a step further. Mitch Jensen, Founding Partner at Siegfried & Jensen, and Utah State Senator Steve Urquhart wrote and got passed new state legislation protecting the rights of individuals in “first-party” insurance claims. In 2010, SB62 was signed into law in Utah, mandating that insurance companies must provide a written response within a reasonable period of time. Additionally, all uninsured or underinsured claims must be paid immediately either for the amount of the covered individual’s demand or the carrier’s response. Today, the Insider Exclusive shows how the law firm of Siegfried & Jensen, the Utah Legislature and everyday Americans like Bob and Jane Betley can make the legal system work, protecting the rights of individuals and promoting safety for everyone. Mitch Jensen graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor’s degree in business in 1978. After completing law school at Pepperdine University in 1981, he became a member of the State Bars of California and Utah. Along with Ned Siegfried, Mitch co-founded what is now one of the top personal injury law firms in the Salt Lake City, Utah area, where he specializes in personal injury auto litigation, product liability, and pharmaceutical injuries. Associating with clients is the most rewarding aspect of Mitch’s work, as he is inspired by people who overcome significant trials and challenges. He considers the greatest people he knows to be his clients and the attorneys and staff who help them fight to restore their lives and families. In his spare time, Mitch enjoys sports, outdoor activities, spending time with his family, and traveling. Siegfried & Jensen provides top-notch legal services to residents of Salt Lake City and throughout Utah. The firm’s personal injury lawyers have the experience, knowledge, and drive to achieve the just compensation that victims of negligence deserve for the hardships they must face. The firm’s 16 skilled attorneys specialize in a variety of fields to offer knowledgeable legal advice and emotional support to injured victims.

The Jenny Jones TV Show Case
28:20 Media Deaths – The Jenny Jones TV Show Case The Jenny Jones Show was a popular talk show broadcast for 12 years, from September 1991 until the winter of 2003, one of the many media exploiting talk shows supposedly featuring real people with compelling personal stories. On an episode called "Same-Sex Secret Crushes" taped on March 6, 1995, a gay man named Scott Amedure confessed his love for his friend, Jonathan Schmitz. While on the show, Schmitz reacted with laughter, but he became disturbed by the incident later. He had a history of mental illness and alcohol/drug abuse. Three days after the show's taping, Schmitz killed Amedure, and was later convicted of second-degree murder and received a sentence of 25–50 years in prison. The episode was never aired. According to the testimony at the murder trial, three days after the taping, Amedure left a "suggestive" note at Schmitz's house. After finding the note, Schmitz withdrew money from the bank, purchased a shotgun, and then went to Amedure's mobile home. There, he questioned Amedure about the note, to which Amedure just smiled. Schmitz then returned to his car, got his gun and returned to Amedure's trailer. He then shot Amedure twice in the chest, killing him. After killing Amedure, Schmitz left the residence, called 911, and confessed to the killing. In 1999, Amedure's family then retained Geoffrey Fieger and sued the producers of The Jenny Jones Show, Telepictures, and Warner Brothers for the ambush tactics and negligent role that led to Amedure's death. Amedure's family won the initial ruling, and the show was ordered to pay them $25 million, after a jury found that the Jenny Jones Show was both irresponsible and negligent, contending that the show intentionally created an explosive situation without due concern for the possible consequences. The judgment was later overturned by the Michigan Court of Appeals in a 2 to 1 decision. The Michigan Supreme Court declined to hear the case. The case is now studied in law school tort classes because of the legal significance of saying the show's producers were not responsible for guests' safety after they had left the studio.

Injustice In Search of Exoneration
28:21 The Douglas Espino Story – Injustice in Search of Exoneration. Los Angeles is known as the “Gang Capital of America”. Over 39,000 gang members commit an estimated 7,000 violent crimes annually. Once, gang members used chains and knives to commit crimes. Now they use shotguns, automatic rifles, handguns and explosives. Once, victims of gang violence were rival gang members. Now the victims are often innocent bystanders and residents killed or injured by stray bullets . . . or people charged with crimes they did not commit. Certain gang-infested neighborhoods are also frighteningly similar to war zones. And in one of those LA neighborhoods, near Pico & Union Streets, on a typical Saturday night on June 7, 2008, a “non-gang member” named Douglas Espino became a “victim” of gangland violence and terror that threatens to change his life forever. Douglas was convicted on March 13, 2009 on 7 counts of attempted murder. He faces a life sentence in prison – for crimes he did not commit! He is innocent . . . and he’s a victim of LA’s gangs and the criminal justice system. This Insider Exclusive Special raises questions and issues about the breakdown in the criminal justice system for Douglas Espino, including:/n1. How eyewitnesses live in fear for the lives, but now come forward to try and exonerate Douglas. 2. How an overzealous prosecutor appears willing to win a conviction at any cost. 3. Why the LAPD has failed to look for the real shooter. 4. And how the Espino family claims that Douglas’ defense attorney failed to provide an adequate defense. This is Douglas Espino’s true story, as told through the eyes and words of his family, his friends and key eyewitnesses whose lives are “threatened” by LA’s most notorious gangs, but despite these real dangers, want to see justice done. Douglas can’t be with us today. He’s currently incarcerated in the LA County Jail, awaiting sentencing on June 25, 2009. Joining us to discuss his wrongful conviction are Charlene Rosen-Espino, Douglas’ sister-in-law and most active, outspoken champion, and Charlene’s father, Bob Rosen, a well respect securities attorney with the law firm of Rosen & Associates (www.rosen-law.com). Also joining us are Douglas’ mother, Maria Escalante; Douglas’ sister, Amanda Escalante, and some eyewitnesses who wish to remain anonymous for fear of gang retaliation.

The Exoneration Of Ted White Jr.
66:14 The Exoneration Of Ted White Jr. Missouri State Penitentiary, known as “The Walls,” was built in 1836 and was the oldest prison west of the Mississippi River before it was condemned and closed permanently in 2004. In 1963, Time Magazine called “The Walls” the bloodiest 47 acres in America when a series of violent assaults made national headlines. It has been reported that between the years of 1963 and 1964, there were around 550 separate accounts of serious assaults, including hundreds of stabbings. It was “home” to infamous convicts like Stagger Lee, Pretty Boy Floyd, Sonny Liston and James Earl Ray. And it became home – for five long years – to a wrongfully convicted man named Ted White Jr. Wrongful convictions occur every month, in every state in this country, and the reasons are all varied and all the same: bad police work, junk science, faulty eyewitness identifications, bad defense lawyers, lazy prosecutors, arrogant prosecutors. Our criminal justice system is supposed to err on the side of innocence, sifting the clearly guilty from those less obviously culpable. Imprisoning – or condemning – the innocent exposes a host of procedural defects in our criminal justice system. Justice must be our eternal aspiration, but we should greet skeptically those who ever claim it’s been fully achieved. /nTed White’s story is not a work of lofty philosophy or jurisprudence. It is his humble first-person story told in everyday terms: of how injustice happened, one blunder at a time, a nightmarish story of being imprisoned for something he did not do. No one knows better than the person wrongfully imprisoned how unjust his situation is. Even devoted loved ones and dedicated lawyers can never have the same certainty as Ted White, who knew absolutely he was not guilty! And in the end, Ted White’s account is an eyewitness testimony to the epitome of human isolation: wronged, separated from society and loved ones, and trapped in an existence defined by what Ted alone knows without a doubt to be a lie. The Insider Exclusive presents a true story, a story of final justice: The Exoneration Of Ted White Jr. It’s a testament to his resilience, his family and his lawyers, Brian McCallister and Cyndy Short of the McCallister Law Firm, who helped him escape the prison cell where he did not belong. Ted’s story is a reminder that freedom is not merely a matter of confinement, but also the chance to dwell with the truth./nBrian F. McCallister is the founder and owner of The McCallister Law Firm, P.C. Since founding the law firm in 1996, Brian has dedicated his professional life to the representation of individuals and families in cases involving catastrophic injury or death resulting from dangerous products, semi tractor-trailer crashes, automobile crashes and medical malpractice. Having grown up as a ministers son and grandson, Brian saw countless examples of his familys sacrifice for and service to others. This is the foundation on which his professional life of service to others is built. In every case, Brian seeks out close personal relationships with his clients and their families, giving him the ability to advocate for his clients powerfully, persuasively and passionately. His avocation is singing and he is often asked to sing solos for special occasions involving his clients and their families. /nCyndy Short was toiling away in a small labor law firm when she was appointed to represent a young poor woman accused by the federal government of attempting to assassinate Jesse Jackson during his 1988 presidential campaign. This experience changed the course of her practice, and she dedicated most of the next 15 years of her career to the representation of poor people as a public defender in Kansas City( first in the trial division, then in the capital litigation division where she served as head of that office for nearly a decade). Her accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. She received the Lon O. Hocker Memorial Trial Lawyer Award in 1997, given annually by the Missouri Bar in recognition of outstanding trial work. She also received the Defender of Distinction Award in 1998 for her dedication to representing poor people charged with serious crimes. That is the highest honor given by the Missouri State Public Defender. The Western Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty recognized her work on the Dick Dexter case with their Courageous Litigator Award. She also graduated from Gerry Spences Trial Lawyers College in 1994. Since 1997, she has been a TLC faculty member trains lawyers and judges around the country. Numerous people owe their freedom and their lives to Cyndys dedication, compassion, personal sacrifice, and skill as a trial lawyer./nThe McCallister Law Firm is comprised of a team of lawyers who provide each client with professional counsel and personal attention. The firm’s attorneys actually mean it when they say they care about each of their clients. These lawyers are strong advocates for people both in and out of the courtroom. Behind each case the firm agrees to take on is a story and a person. Since 1996, when the firm was established, these attorneys have put their clients first. By carefully selecting each case, the firm’s lawyers can represent clients that they truly believe in. An important part of a lawyers job is not just representing clients in court, but also developing a personal connection with them. And the attorneys at the McCallister Law Firm develop relationships with clients that last well beyond of a case. The firm is available whenever a former client has a legal concern./nYou can contact Brian McCallister and Cyndy Short at 816-931-2229, or www.mccallisterlawfirm.com Added: 619 days ago From: insiderexclusive Views: 210,834 | Comments: 0

Police Brutality – Carlos Pacheco’s
Story 22:15 Police abuse remains one of the most serious and divisive human rights violations in the United States today! The horrific images of Rodney King being beat by the LAPD, are one of the most blatant reminders of police brutality against innocent victims. The excessive use of force by police officers,…. including unjustified shootings,…. severe beatings, ……and fatal chokings, and unwarranted use of Tasers… persists…. This Special INSIDER EXCLUSIVE investigation discovered….. that police brutality is persistent and rampant across America….AND that systems to deal with abuse have FAILED…. And that Victims seeking redress…. face daunting obstacles at every point in the process….. ranging from overt intimidation to the reluctance of local and federal prosecutors to take on brutality cases.…… of officers who have committed these human rights violations. Today, the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE Investigative TV Series “Goes behind the Headlines” in “Police Brutality – Carlos Pacheco’s Story” to investigate a Police Brutality case against the New York City Police Dept… and how some rogue Police Officers beat, handcuffed, and Tasered a 27 year old epileptic young man, Carlos Pacheco, while he was suffering from a seizure. Carlos’s attorney, famed New York Civil Rights Lawyer Seth A. Harris, Ptr Burns & Harris successfully got the truth….And got Justice for Carlos with a Verdict of $1 Million dollars against the NYPD… On September 30, 2006….Carlos’s girlfriend, Christina Sanchez had telephoned the 9-1-1 emergency-response service.. for HELP….That’s right HELP for Carlos… And Police Officers soon arrived and yanked Carlos out of bed following his seizure and rear-handcuffed him, then strapped him to an EMS chair by his chest and legs A police sergeant, James Sutter, subsequently arrived, and Sutter repeatedly used his Taser to subdue Pacheco. Tasering Pacheco in the stomach and chest area as well as in the back while Pacheco was rear-handcuffed and strapped by a lap/thigh belt and a chest belt to an EMS chair. Remarkably, the Officers …..”Claimed”…. Carlos was unnecessarily hostile….but there was no complaint of any criminal activity and…. Remember….the police were responding to a “911” call for medical attention. Pacheco was never accused of any wrong doing… nor arrested. So Why was he Beat….And Tasered ??? According to the American Medical Association and the American Epilepsy Foundation …..Epilepsy is a brain disorder which can result in changes in body movements, awareness, and emotions. About 2 million people in the United States have epilepsy. The psychosis, when it emerges, can be sudden…. and the behavior can be extravagant. Typically….hallucinations and delusions are noted; prominent are persecutory and religious phenomena. Well- directed violent attacks are seen in about 25% of episodes. As Seth has often said….. “the problem of Police Brutality… Against the Mentally and Physically Ill…. is much more widespread than most Americans are willing to admit. …….Our nation practices….. a selective blindness……In this great and strong nation, we have all become unwitting accomplices to the continuation of the conflict”. Seth has earned the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike…. as one of the best Trial lawyers in New York….. and in the nation. He has seen many innocent & hard-working people become VICTIMS of the Police Brutality He understands that Police brutality is one of the most serious, enduring, and divisive human rights violations in the United States. The problem is not just in New York…BUT nationwide….AND its nature is institutionalized. AND BECAUSE OF THAT…..He is driven to fight for people who had been harmed by the willful or negligent actions of others. He…Learned A long Time ago ….that “IF A MAN hasn’t discovered something that he will die for… He isn’t fit to live.” His goals….. Not ONLY To get Justice for his clients… BUT To make sure ALL Americans have the right to a fair trial, honest cops, impartial prosecutors, and fair judges with NO AGENDAs… BECAUSE “INJUSTICE ANYWHERE…..IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE” !!! “AND Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just …..may be powerful….AND… whatever is powerful may be just.”….

AMERICAN DISABILITIES ACT PROBLEMS-
Florence Kulb’s Story 22:10 Oppression is omnipresent among people with disabilities. It's interwoven in their daily lives. They breathe, sleep and work with it ……….as if it were natural. The fight for accessible public transportation seems to have been the crucible for the disability rights movement for much of the last two decades. Advocates thought that accessible transportation would be the key to free disabled people and to mainstream them in society. When the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act passed, mandating that all public buses and trains be made accessible, Americans with Disabilities celebrated this new legislation. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guarantees that people with disabilities have the same access to public services such as transportation as people without disabilities. To make bus service available to those with disabilities, many City transit authorities have equipped their buses with wheelchair lifts and other special devices. Public transit authorities also provide ADA paratransit service for those disabled persons who are unable to travel using the fixed route bus service. The ADA paratransit service provides both curb-to-curb service..and door-to-door services The spirit of the ADA is all about equal access and leveling the playing field so that Disabled persons no longer have to sit on the sidelines. But 21 years after the law was passed, we still see horror stories of a “Well-Intended Plan that sometimes goes horribly wrong” Today the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE “Goes Behind The Headlines” to share one of those horror stories in “AMERICAN DISABILITIES ACT PROBLEMS- Florence Kulb’s Story”, and to expose where the ADA’s Paratransit Program went wrong in Philadelphia And how Florence Kulb’s lawyer, Robert Huber, Ptr Huber & Palsir successfully represented Florence to get her the justice she deserved.

When Doctors Go WRONG – Misdiagnosis
of Cervical Cancer 21:18 When Doctors Go WRONG – Misdiagnosis of Cervical Cancer Every day, somewhere in America more than 300 innocent men, women, and children become victims of medical malpractice at the hands of incompetent and negligent doctors. Maybe just like your own family doctor. And these people end up either dead or permanently injured. Last year, over 98,000 victims were killed by doctors. More than 4 million victims are permanently injured. Today, the Insider Exclusive goes behind the headlines with Jerry Meyers, one of America’s top medical malpractice lawyers, to examine how three different incompetent and negligent gynecologists failed to diagnosis and treat a 25-year-old mother of three who had 7 separate – that’s right: 7 separate pap smears that tested abnormal – and yet all three doctors failed to the required further testing to rule out potential cervical cancer. This young mother died, three years later, in October 2007, from just that: cervical cancer. Every year over 11,000 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with this cancer. If it is diagnosed early, treatment can be successful. On the other hand, a misdiagnosis can result in delayed treatment, and without the proper treatment, the survival rate decreases considerably and it sometimes leads to unnecessary and tragic death as in this case. Jerry Meyers’s passion is problem solving. He approaches each medical negligence case as a scientist trying to solve a puzzle. For 10 years, Jerry was on the front lines as a Navy medic and respiratory therapist. He’s seen many patients suffer needless injury – and because of that, he is driven to help people who have been harmed by incompetent and negligent doctors. Jerry’s goal is to make medicine safer and more accountable, and of course, to get justice for this young mother and her surviving children who were orphaned by her untimely death. Jerry Meyers focuses exclusively on medical malpractice cases, an area to which he’s devoted his entire 34-year career as an attorney. He approaches each medical negligence case as a scientist trying to solve a puzzle. Having worked in hospitals for nearly a decade as a corpsman and then as a respiratory therapist Jerry saw many patients suffer needless injury. He was driven to help individuals who had been harmed by the medical system. A native of Pennsylvania, Jerry was born in McKeesport in 1946 and grew up in Duquesne. He served the US Navy and then the Marines as a hospital corpsman, where he received his first medical training and hospital experience. He later worked as a respiratory therapist in teaching hospitals while attending college and law school. Meyers received his B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh and his J.D. (cum laude) from the University of Miami. He has consistently received an AV rating (the highest mark for ability and professionalism) from his peers in the annual Martindale Hubbell Directory of American Lawyers. Jerry has been a visiting lecturer at various medical schools and teaching hospitals. Meyers Giuffre Evans & Schwarzwaelder, LLC have successfully represented hundreds of individuals in malpractice, wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases, many of them against Pennsylvania's largest hospitals, health care providers and insurance companies. The firm's medical expertise and knowledge of malpractice law has resulted in numerous record settlements and verdicts in Pennsylvania courtrooms.

WINNING JURY VERDICTS through The Power
of Stories 22:0 “Don’t say the old lady screamed ……..Bring her on….And let her scream…..” That is the sage and strategic advice from one of the masters of persuasive storytelling…. Mark Twain. Twain’s words are profoundly “on mark” and could be an informal mantra for how Lawyers should prepare their case presentations. Twain’s call for “show, don’t tell” is a winning strategy to help convey an Opening Statement to tell a story to the jury… People actually remember things best in story format. But not just any story – it has to be told right. There can’t be too many details….. or the story structure gets lost. Each sentence has to move the story forward in time…. Otherwise…. you’re telling details…. not a story. It must move chronologically. We all connect to stories, especially ones that involve good vs. evil…. and that remind us of our shared histories. We especially want the good—often the underdog—to beat the bad. The battle that often rages in civil court is the money-seeking unworthy plaintiff motif… against the uncaring defendants who will not admit the wrong they have caused. And Without a good story… Jurors have nothing to grasp hold of. In this INSIDER EXCLUSIVE TV Special…we go Behind the Headlines of some of America’s most important publicized trials to share 10 of the most successful Trial Rules used by successful lawyers to win their cases, in “Winning Jury verdicts with the power of stories" And as our special guest today… we are honored to visit with Robert Kahlke, Ptr @ Robert Pahlke Law Group & Past President of Nebraska Association of Trial Attorneys …to discuss some of his cases and how he has successfully used these proven 10 Trial Rules in the courtroom “Stories are about people”…..This is Rule No. 1 …..for a reason. Lawyers often get lost in law and details… and lose site of the people that make their case have meaning. Any time an lawyer can get beyond the mere facts of the case, and get to the story behind that case…. Then they are doing a great service to their client. Rule #2 ….. “Let your characters speak for themselves” While a true storyteller can create drama and interest by developing a compelling story and revealing facts along the way….. it’s much harder for an lawyer who really has to lay out the facts in a more direct way. However, the use of visuals such as animations, graphics, video, storyboards and time lines can go a long way toward creating interest where boredom can reign. Everyone loves to see a case presented like the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE Investigative TV Series…. Produces its Documentaries… because it’s much easier to understand and more powerful. We believe what we see. Rule #3 …. “Stories stir up emotions”. This truth of storytelling is…. not surprisingly…. near and dear to my heart. Any good story doesn’t just tell a jury or judge that the other side is wrong…… it shows…. with vivid detail and images…. the facts and circumstances involved…. which evokes the desire to right a wrong. Rule #4…. “Stories are the window in which we enter other people’s lives, connect with them, and discover our similarities” The hunger for story is ingrained in every human being. We humans seek and thrive on story to connect with our fellow man…. pass down history and to teach. “Telling stories and being curious about the stories of others is a way of life as much as it is a technique of in?uence. In the Courtroom… Lawyers provide the words, and the visuals show the jury or judge what happened….. And why it was wrong….And why your side should prevail. Rule #5…. “Stories have at least one “moment of truth” “The best stories show us something about how we should treat ourselves, others or the world around us.” No question about this. The best closing argument….. the best presentation at a mediation….. or the best discussion with opposing counsel…. summarizes a whole case in a simple description that encapsulates ….the right or wrong and highlights a larger truth. Rule #6 ….. “Stories have a clear meaning” What is the case about? Can you answer that question in one concise sentence that connects on an emotional level and not only on a factual level? A case with a clear meaning is much more powerful than a case presented as a string of facts. A case is about a wrong or a right …..and about the people involved. Every case has meaning that goes beyond the facts that create or defeat liability. Ask yourself….. Why does this matter? What’s at stake, and who is involved? Rule #7 ….. “Simple Jury Persuasion: Do Slogans still work? Would “if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit” still work?” Catchy slogans, phrases and themes have long been the hallmark of a persuasive courtroom presentation. But new research throws a question on whether they are as effective as we would like to think The best trial lawyers that the INSIDER EXCLUSIVE have featured in its Documentaries…..are the ones who knew when to stop talking. Sure, they seemed to know what to say… but further….they knew when it had been said. More is not necessarily better. Too much information is overwhelming and is simply tuned out What matters is that you KISS: keep it simple…Real simple. Rule #8… “In Closing…. Treat Your Jurors as Advocates” Remember, You Aren't Just Persuading….. You Are Persuading the Persuaders. You aren't just influencing the decision maker…. you are preparing the decision maker for subsequent discussions with the “undecided”. In addition to convincing the undecided jurors, you are also equipping the rest for the advocacy that will ensue during deliberations. Rule #9 – “Remember to Give Your Champions Both Swords and Shields” Closing arguments can and do turn favorable jurors into advocates, able to instrumentally use arguments on your behalf. Even for those jurors who have already decided or are strongly leaning as of closing arguments, your converts will still need both a sword and a shield in the upcoming deliberations….. they'll need to be armed with good arguments (swords), and prepared to resist the arguments of jurors on the other side (shields). Finally….Rule #10…. “Remember That Your Jury is Always Smarter than Your Juror” Individual jurors can miss a lot, but the collective jury doesn't miss much at all. Ultimately, when you are persuading a jury, you are persuading a group, and that means aiming not just to convince….. but to enable productive argument. “As a trial lawyer…and as a storyteller, Lawyers practice a kind of magic…the most powerful magic on earth” You are myth makers and poets…...and it is myth that consciously and subconsciously guides every human being on this planet…for good or evil. Your words and the manner in which you use them… may have an enormous impact on individuals…. Communities… nations… the world … and world history. The ancient peoples of the world knew the power of the word. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew Scriptures, God created the heavens and the earth…. not by waving a magic wand… but by speaking words. The Ancients believed that your soul was your breath… that words, created by breath, came from your soul… from the immortal part of your being… hence… they were sacred. And powerful. The Gospel of John in the New Testament begins: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God…and the Word was God. And the Word ….. was God. Indeed it was. And still is.

FOOTBALL INJURIES - The New Zackery
Lystedt Law 22:15 FOOTBALL INJURIES - The New Zackery Lystedt Law Football…..is One of the most popular sports in America…..AND It’s also the leading cause of sports-related injuries. During the 2005-06 season, Middle & High school football players sustained more than half a million injuries nationally. And 13 year old Zackery Lystedt was one of them…. But Zack’s Tragedy has inspired the BIGGEST Positive change in the Way Football is now played in America! With Washington’s Governor Chris Gregoire signing into law the new “Zackery Lystedt Law” And now Zack’s courageous Story and his continuing struggle to recover…is receiving widespread recognition & Admiration across America …..And even in the NFL… According to the Center for Disease Control, …..Among high school sports, football is responsible for the most injuries per player. More than 300,000 sports and recreation related traumatic brain injuries occur in the United States each year. And at least 50 football players in high school ….in more than 20 states…. have been killed or sustained serious head injuries on the football field. That puts football head and shoulders above the second-place sport, wrestling. That's troubling…… because young brains are particularly susceptible to second-impact syndrome, a catastrophic swelling of the brain that can happen when a player sustains a second blow to the head before the first has healed. Administrators, trainers, and coaches play key roles in preventing concussions. Managing them correctly can prevent serious and permanent injuries such as those suffered by Zach. This standard of care required that Zack be removed from play when he was initially injured. Today The Insider Exclusive goes behind the Headlines to tell the courageous story of Zackery Lystedt …… And How his Lawyer, Mike Nelson, Ptr @the law firm of NELSON LANGER ENGLE not only got Justice for Zack… But with the amazing love, respect, and determination of Zack’s parents,… Victor & Mercedes, the leadership of Washington’s Governor ….Chris Gregoire, Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center, the NFL, Mike and many others…. This NEW LAW was ENACTED…..NAMED IN HONOR OF ZACK…. “THE Zackery LYSTEDT LAW” Which is the most comprehensive return-to-play law in the United States for athletes under 18. Legislators & Trial Lawyers alike… work relentlessly …to get justice for …..“THE PEOPLE” ….And in Mike Nelson’s case, the passage of this new law, has Earned him the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike…. as one of the best peoples’ trial lawyers in Washington and in the nation. He has seen many innocent, and hard-working people suffer needless injury … AND BECAUSE OF THAT…..He’s driven to help people who had been harmed by the negligent actions of others… His goal….. Not ONLY To get Justice for Zack BUT To make sure that all young Football players EVERYWHERE…..play in the safest environments Possible.
