Construction Accident Lawyers – Block
O’Toole Murphy/nEvery year thousands of
construction workers are seriously injured in
New York City. Construction workers find
themselves confronted by dangerous, unsafe
work conditions on a daily basis. New York
State has enacted laws and regulations to
protect all workers, whether they are
ironworkers, construction workers,
electricians, mechanics, bricklayers,
painters or carpenters. However, these laws
and regulations can be very difficult for the
injured worker to navigate without the help
of experienced construction lawyers. Block

premier construction accident law firms.

Same Sex Couple Discrimination –
Sharon Reed's Story
28:20
"Same Sex Couple Discrimination – Sharon
Reed's Story". Imagine a
different world — a world of full equality
for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and
transgender people. A world where everyone
has the same rights in housing, jobs, public
accommodations, equal access to government
benefits and equal protection of the law.
That is not the world that Joann Ritchie and
Sharon Reed found themselves in, on the night
of September 3, 2005, at the University of
Washington Medical Center in Seattle,
Washington. Sharon, a psychotherapist, and
Joann , a City of Seattle housing
administrator, had been life-partners for 17
years, when Joann ’s chronic illness
worsened and she was hospitalized at the
University of Washington Medical Center. On
September 3, 2005, Joann was moved to the
ICU and came under the care of a contract
nurse, Karen Hulley, for the night. And on
that night, their lives changed forever.
Despite the fact that the University and
Joann ’s doctor permitted Sharon to be by
her beside constantly, Nurse Hulley,
repeatedly refused Sharon access to
Joanne’s room and bedside, continually
evicting her from the room. By the time
Sharon regained access to her partner the
next morning, Joann ’s condition had
deteriorated, and she was heavily drugged.
She died within a matter of hours. The
Insider Exclusive now goes ”Behind the
Headlines” to visit with Sharon Reed and
her lawyer Judith Lonnquist, as they relive
the “Long Night from Hell,” as Sharon
watched – from a distance – the love of
her life, Joann , slowly dying alone, all
because of the cruelty and the insensitivity
of the “Nurse from Hell,”Karen Hulley.
Hell,”Karen Hulley. Judith will explain
the justifiable reasons behind the lawsuit
they have filed against Nurse Hulley and her
employer, which the courts have refused to
dismiss both at the trial and the appellate
levels and is scheduled for trial in April
2010. Judith Lonnquist specializes in
plaintiffs’ employment and civil rights
law, with an occasional foray into
traditional labor law and campaign finance
law. She is a founder of the Northwest
Women’s Law Center and served as National
Legal Vice President to the National
Organization for Women, and as a member of

The Ashley Kubicz Story
28:20
Auto Injury – The Ashley Kubicz Story
It all began one dark and rainy night on
November 15, 2005, on Highway P in the little
town of Richmond, Wisconsin, when Michael
Turner, a 50-year-old, very drunk driver with
a blood alcohol content of double the legal
limit, swerved across the clearly marked
double yellow centerline on Highway P, in his
big Ford pickup truck, and slammed directly
head-on into 17-year-old Ashley Kubicz’s
little car . . . with catastrophic results!
Trapping her legs in excruciating pain in the
car, severing the artery in her left leg
(which deprived it of the life-sustaining
blood she desperately needed), Ashley clung
on courageously while the medics rushed her
to hospital. Her injuries were so severe
that the doctors had to amputate her leg
halfway from her hip to her knee, which
effectively ended her dreams of being a
softball star. Turner was hauled off to jail,
and one more tragic “alcohol-related”
drunk driver accident was added to the
approximately 630,000 people injured in
alcohol-related crashes every year. That’s
an average of one person injured
approximately every minute of every day of
every year. About 30,000 people a year will
suffer permanent work-related disabilities,
just like Ashley. Every weekday night from 10
p.m. to 1 a.m., one in 13 drivers is drunk
with a blood alcohol content of .08 or
higher; and between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. on
weekend mornings, one in seven drivers is
drunk. More Americans have died in
alcohol-related traffic crashes than in all
the wars the United States has been involved
in since our country was founded. Today, The
Insider Exclusive presents “The True Story
and The Miraculous Courage of Ashley
Kubicz”. Joining Ashley is her mother
Karen, along with Jason Abraham of the law
firm of Hupy Abraham, S.C. Jason got justice
for Ashley, and has earned the highest
respect from citizens and lawyers alike as
one of the best plaintiffs’ trial lawyers
in Wisconsin and in the nation./nJason
Abraham began his career with Hupy and
Abraham, S.C., in 1993 and progressed to the
position of shareholder at the firm in 1999.
He received his undergraduate degree in
psychology in 1989 from the University of
Wisconsin, followed by his juris doctor from
Marquette University Law School in 1992. He
is admitted to practice in the State of
Wisconsin, along with the United States
District Courts for the Eastern and Western
Districts of Wisconsin. He is also licensed
to practice in Missouri. He is a Certified
Civil Trial Specialists by the National Board
of Trial Advocacy, member of the State Bar of
Wisconsin, American Bar Association,

result of his expertise regarding personal
injury matters, along with a significant
record of achievement in that venue, Jason
has lectured in numerous states regarding
personal injury issues. His proficiency in
that area has created a clientele consisting
of individuals from across the nation. Jason
has settled or tried over 110 million dollars
in personal injury cases and has had multiple
cases resolved for over a million dollars.
Huppy Abraham, S.C. seeks to give their
clients the best possible representation from
the beginning of their case to its
conclusion. The firm goes above and beyond
the call of duty, pledging to keep clients
informed and to give each client personal
attention. Huppy Abraham’s mission is to

Medical Malpractice Case: The Emma
Mejias Story
28:20
:Medical Malpractice Case: The Emma Mejias
Story." Emma Mejias died a horrible and
painful death, on her very first Christmas
Eve in 2004, at the hands of 25 doctors and
nurses, another victim of medical
malpractice. All 25 of them systematically
and willfully ordered and administered the
wrong drugs for her life-threatening
condition called SLOS (Smith Lemli Opitz
Syndrome). SLOS is a congenital abnormality,
which requires treatment strategies on
supplying supplemental cholesterol. Emma was
given the Wrong Drug, Questran, not once, but
92 times – yes, 92 times in one month. All
of the doctors and nurses knew better. They
were trained to know better. They were some
of the world’s leading authorities at the
LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans.
And her doctors had the unmitigated gall to
blame Emma’s death on the new resident
doctors, rather than take responsibility
themselves. Emma remained hospitalized at
various hospitals from the date she was born
to the day she died, because of the
outrageous medical malpractice perpetrated on
her by 25 so-called health care
professionals, none of whom cared enough to
give her the potentially life-saving medical
treatment she desperately needed. She
suffered enormous physical pain and suffering
prior to her death. Today, for the very first
time ever on TV, The Insider Exclusive will
visit with both Jason and Adrienne Mejais and
their lawyer John Hammons, Partner at Nelson
Hammons, who for 30 years has been standing
up for people like Emma, a little innocent
baby, who never had the chance to stand up
for herself. John Hammons is one of
Louisiana’s leading medical malpractice and
nursing home negligence lawyers, and is often
called upon by individuals as well as by
other lawyers to assist them in the most
difficult of cases. He has served on the
Governor’s Commission on Medical
Malpractice, which provided him with
significant insight in this area of
developing law. John was also among the first
lawyers in Louisiana emphasizing the handling
of medical malpractice cases three decades
ago. He has been at the forefront of
precedent-setting cases, and is often invited
to speak before legal and medical groups.
John holds an undergraduate degree from
Northeast Louisiana University and a law
degree from Louisiana State University.
Nelson Hammons has championed the rights of
victims of medical malpractice since 1980,
having successfully represented hundreds of
such patients or their families. With its
office in Shreveport, Nelson Hammons remains
committed to quality medical care for its
clients and their families as well as
obtaining just compensation for those
patients who have been seriously injured as a
result of substandard medical care. With two
attorneys specializing in the handling of
medical malpractice, nursing home negligence
and related matters, Nelson Hammons is
uniquely positioned to effectively and
thoroughly investigate and prosecute such
cases. You can contact John Hammons at

U.S. vs. Fieger & Johnson – Bring
It On!
67:58
U.S. vs. Fieger & Johnson – Bring It On!
In mid-August of 2007, the Detroit Free Press
printed a huge headline, FIEGER VS. U.S. At
the time, they got it wrong; the US
Government had actually indicted Geoffrey
Fieger, one of the nation’s most successful
trial lawyers, and his partner, Ven Johnson,
for violating campaign finance laws. But on
June 2, 2008, after a 20-day trial, with
Fieger represented by famed defense attorney
Gerry Spence, jurors unanimously rejected the
government’s felony charges – and
acquitted and vindicated Geoff Fieger and Ven
Johnson, because prosecutors failed to prove
that they illegally channeled money to the
failed 2004 presidential campaign of Democrat
John Edwards. And, on that same day, the
Detroit Free Press finally got it right and
printed another huge headline, FIEGER IS
CLEARED IN CAMPAIGN FUND CASE. Today, The
Insider Exclusive takes you behind the scenes
of the indictment, the Bush
Administration’s selective political
prosecution of Geoffrey Fieger, the winning
legal strategies employed by Gerry Spence and
Steve Fishman to decisively defeat and crush
the government at a Waterloo of their own
making. Power tends to corrupt, and
absolute power corrupts absolutely.That fact
is as valid oday, as it was when it was
written in 1870 by Sir John Acton, who
reminded Pope Pius IX that he was a mere
mortal man! Today, Geoff Fieger walks taller
and more resolute than ever before, for
having taken on “Absolute Power” and won
– a victory of the power of truth and
justice. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “We
acquire the strength we have overcome.”
Geoff has overcome that strength, and today,
he uses it for all those in need of justice.
Geoffrey Fieger devotes himself to getting
justice for his clients. He is a tireless and
fearless champion for those whose rights have
been violated. He was the Democratic Party
nominee for Governor of the State of Michigan
in 1998, and the Detroit College of Law at
Michigan State University recently named its
school for the education of trial lawyers The
Geoffrey Fieger Trial Practice Institute. In
June 2008 after almost three years, Geoffrey,
represented by the legendary Gerry Spence in
his final trial, won his own court battle
against the Gonzales/Rove/Bush Justice
Department when he was acquitted on all
counts of alleged illegal campaign donations.
Geoffrey has two degrees from the University
of Michigan (B.A., 1974; M.A.,1976) and
received his law degree from the Detroit
College of Law-Michigan State University
(J.D., 1979). He is a member of the Michigan
and Florida Bar Associations. Ven Johnson
was named a partner at Fieger, Fieger,
Kenney, Johnson Giroux in 2001 after working
six years at the firm. Since joining the firm
in 1995 he has worked on a number of
high-profile cases and obtained numerous
multimillion-dollar verdicts. He specializes
in the areas of civil litigation, product
liability, medical malpractice, automobile
negligence and police misconduct. Ven earned
his undergraduate degree at Kalamazoo College
with athletic honors in basketball and
tennis. He received his Juris Doctor at the
University of Detroit School of Law, served
as a law clerk for a sports and entertainment
law firm in Detroit, and was an intern to the
late Michigan Court of Appeals Judge John
Shephard. Ven has also lectured on relevant
legal issues for the Institute of Continuing
Legal Education, the National Business
Institute and the Straker Bar Association. He
has assisted law students with mock trial
preparation at the University of Detroit
Mercy Law School. Fieger, Fieger, Kenney,
Johnson Giroux was founded over 50 years ago
by Geoffrey’s father, Bernard Fieger, in a
small house which still stands as the
cornerstone of Fieger Law. Today, FFKJG is a
40,000-square-foot elegant edifice with 60
employees occupying a quarter mile of land in
Southfield, Michigan—a near suburb of
Detroit. Today, the Fieger Law Firm is the
top personal injury firm in the country.

Asbestos Illnesses – Alcoa’s Defeat
– The Amanda Satterfield
28:50
Asbestos Illnesses – Alcoa’s Defeat –
The Amanda Satterfield Story The Tennessee
Supreme Court has issued a “huge victory”
for workers nationwide, especially for
victims of mesothelioma lung cancer and other
asbestos-related diseases, in a ruling saying
a corporation, Alcoa, “has a full duty to
prevent its employees from going home at the
end of the workday in clothes that are
contaminated with asbestos fibers.” Alcoa,
a Fortune 100 company, “knew that the
families of such workers could be exposed to
the tiny dangerous asbestos fibers that can
easily be inhaled if they become airborne.”
The company had, and now has, an important
duty to set precautions for its employees and
prevent asbestos exposure. “ The
plaintiff, Amanda Satterfield, was a
beautiful 25-year-old young lady who died on
January 1st, 2005. Amanda's family continued
her lawsuit, suing Alcoa for $10 million in
compensatory damages and $10 million in
punitive damages, and settled the case in
September 2009. Amanda was exposed to
asbestos in the late 1970s when she was just
a few days old. Born in a premature birth,
Amanda had to spend the first 3 months after
her birth at a hospital in Knoxville,
Tennessee, during which period her father was
employed at Alcoa's aluminum plant. Her
father was exposed to asbestos on the job,
and he then visited his baby daughter in the
hospital immediately after work, wearing the
same asbestos-contaminated clothes. The
court was surprised at realizing that Amanda
was exposed to asbestos from day one of her
life, thanks to her father's
asbestos-contaminated work clothes. Proof
presented at the Supreme court included Alcoa
knew that the air in its factories contained
high amounts of asbestos fibers, and workers
in the plant were inhaling these fibers that
can easily get clogged up in the lungs and
lead to lung scarring or inflammation. In
fact, Alcoa conducted tests to determine the
amount of asbestos fibers on their employees'
asbestos-contaminated clothes, and the result
was very high. It was proven that Alcoa knew
that even a small amount of exposure to
asbestos fibers could lead to deadly
diseases. Using these facts, the Tennessee
Supreme Court decided that "Under Tennessee
law, Alcoa has a duty to prevent foreseeable
injury from an unreasonable risk of harm that
it had itself created." The Tennessee
Supreme Court, stated that, "In light of the
magnitude of the potential harm from exposure
to asbestos and the means available to
prevent or reduce this harm, we see no reason
to prevent carpool members, baby sitters, or
the domestic help from pursuing negligence
claims against an employer should they
develop mesothelioma after being repeatedly
and regularly in close contact with an
employee's asbestos-contaminated work clothes
over an extended period of time." Today The
Insider Exclusive will go behind the
headlines to examine this landmark Tennessee
Supreme Court ruling, and the lawyer who
fought so valiantly for Amanda Satterfield
and her family: Greg Coleman Gregory F.
Coleman is a highly distinguished attorney

injury, complex multi-district litigation,

The Quiet American Hero – The Vinny
Cinelli Story.
27:50
The Quiet American Hero – The Vinny Cinelli
Story. America has many “quiet heroes,”
some of whom protect The Department of
Energy’s Y-12 plant in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee. These brave men are the “Elite
Special Response Team,” some of the
best-trained and best-equipped forces
protecting America’s nuclear weapons and
material, with deadly force if necessary.
These “Elite Special Response” teams are
filled with professionals that have served in
the military and law enforcement. It’s not
uncommon to find former Marines, Army
Rangers, Special Forces, and police veterans
serving in various positions within these
teams. They use words like honor, code, and
loyalty. They use these words as the backbone
of a life spent defending something. And they
live up to their words: They walk their talk
– and one of these quiet heroes is Vincent
“Vinny” Cinelli, who, while riding his
motorcycle one March day in broad daylight,
was run down by a hit and run driver, someone
who does not live a life of honor, code, and
loyalty. Vinny Cinelli was severely injured,
but miraculously recovered! And today, The
Insider Exclusive is here to tell his story:
The true story of the magnificent courage of
Vinny Cinelli and how his lawyer, Bruce Fox
of the Law Firm of Fox Farley in Clinton,
Tennessee, got justice for Vinny. And
because of Bruce’s extraordinary success in
the courtroom, he has earned the highest
respect from citizens and lawyers alike as
one of the best plaintiffs’ trial lawyers
in Tennessee and the nation. It is said that
“The true measure of any man is not how
they stand in moments of comfort and
convenience, but how they stand in moments of
challenge and controversy.” Both Bruce and
Vinny have stood in those moments of
challenge and controversy. And that’s why
The Insider Exclusive salutes both of these
quiet American heroes. Bruce D. Fox is a
partner and co-founder of Fox and Farley.
His personal injury practice focuses on
automobile accidents, workers’
compensation, products liability, hospital
and nursing home injuries, and trucking
litigation. In addition, Bruce has
significant multi-state lead counsel class
action litigation experience against a
variety of defendants. Bruce is co-founder

sick with serious lung diseases, cancers and
hearing loss as a result of their work for
various Department of Energy
contractors. For 25 years, Bruce has been

2007, 2008, and 2009 he was named to the

Knoxville’s Cityview Magazine named Bruce
one of the area’s best workers’
compensation, hospital litigation, auto

Hazardous Materials Health Risks – The
Oak Ridge National Labs
28:22
Hazardous Materials Health Risks – The Oak
Ridge National Labs In 1942, a "Secret
City" in America – in Oak Ridge, Tennessee
– was born as a direct result of a letter
written by Albert Einstein to President
Roosevelt citing the urgent need to develop
the capability to sustain a chain reaction of
uranium. From Einstein’s letter came the
plan for our nation to create an atomic
weapon that would be more powerful than any
weapon in the history of the world. The
Manhattan Project, created to develop this
amazing new atomic weapon, spent 60 cents of
every dollar in Oak Ridge, Tennessee! For 7
years This “Secret City” was not shown on
any maps, did not allow any visitors other
than by special approval, had guards posted
at the entrances to the city and required all
residents to wear badges at all times when
outside their homes. Several different work
sites were built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to
accommodate the U.S. Government’s need to
develop uranium for the war effort. Plants
labeled X-10, K-25 and Y-12 were all
constructed. Workers at the plants were
segregated by job duty and not permitted to
discuss what they were doing in their work.
Almost 60 years later, Congress recognized
that thousands of workers, employed in these
“Atomic” / Hazardous Material Plants,
were exposed to deadly radioactive and toxic
substances. And Congress passed, in July
2001,“The Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation Program Act” to
provide compensation to persons who become
ill as a result of work at these facilities.
Today, The Insider Exclusive presents a
behind the scenes look at why, despite this
Congressional legislation intended to help
sick government workers, there have been
roadblocks and obstacles forcing the majority
of workers who file claims to litigate with
the Department of Energy. In fact,
contractors of the Department have been held
harmless and their employees have been denied
workers’ compensation coverage for
occupational diseases. Over the past 20
years, more than two dozen scientific
findings have emerged that indicate that
certain employees are experiencing increased
risks of dying from cancer and non-malignant
diseases. Today, The Insider Exclusive will
speak with Bruce Fox, Cofounder of the Energy
Workers’ Legal Resource Center in Oak
Ridge, Tennessee, and Partner at the law firm
of Fox & Farley, who for the past 31 years
has represented all types of workers who work
in dangerous and hazardous conditions in
America -- obtaining full and fair
compensation for his clients. He will tell us
why the system has failed and how to fix
it. Bruce D. Fox is a partner and
co-founder of Fox and Farley.  His personal
injury practice focuses on automobile
accidents, workers’ compensation, products
liability, hospital and nursing home
injuries, and trucking litigation.  In

Tenn Supreme Crt - Gary West’s Story
35:30
The Tennessee Supreme Court – Gary L.
West’s Story On Sep 2, 2005, The Tennessee
Supreme Court issued a landmark decision:
Gary L. West v. East Tennessee Pioneer Oil.
The ruling expanded potential liability in
sales to inebriated customers. “Tennessee
businesses selling products to visibly
intoxicated people are subject to more
liability.” The Court found that a
convenience store had a duty not to sell
gasoline to an inebriated customer who later
was involved in a head-on collision. This
landmark Case is the basis of this True Story
that lead up to that Decision On July 22,
2000, Gary West was traveling northbound on
U.S. Highway 11W, in Knox County, Tennessee,
in the dead of night. On the exact same night
and exactly at the same time, on the very
same road, Brian Lee Tarver was driving
southbound in the wrong northbound lane.
Tarver crashed head-on into West’s
automobile causing severe personal injury and
property damage. Just minutes before the
accident, Tarver had been a customer at a gas
station’s convenience store located at 7606
Rutledge Pike. Pioneer Oil was the
owner/operator of that store. The store
clerk, Dorothy Thomas, testified that on the
night of the accident, Tarver was visibly
“drunk” and “staggering” while at the
store immediately prior to the accident. She
refused his drunken demand to buy beer, but
she did choose to sell the same very drunk
Tarver three dollars ($3.00) worth of
gasoline. After buying the gas, Tarver was so
drunk that he couldn’t even walk out the
store’s door properly. And more
importantly, not only did he stagger to the
pumps; he couldn’t even pump the gas in his
car. Another employee, Candice Drinnon,
actually had to help him pump the gas,
because he was too drunk to figure out how to
do so himself! Ms. Drinnon then watched as
Tarver drove away going southbound in the
wrong lane of traffic without his headlights
on. At no time did any of the gas station’s
employees attempt to notify the police of
Tarver’s actions and his obviously
intoxicated state. Today, The Insider
Exclusive goes behind the headlines to meet
Greg Coleman of Coleman Edwards, who
successfully took this case all the way to
the Tennessee Supreme Court to fight for and
get justice for Gary West. Gregory F.
Coleman is a highly distinguished attorney
who focuses on products liability,
litigation, medical malpractice, person
injury, complex multi-district litigation,
toxic torts, premises liability, class
actions, ERISA, ERISA class actions, drug and
medical device litigation, and workers’
compensation. He has tried more than 100 jury
trials and countless bench trials. A graduate
of Jacksonville State University and the
University of Tennessee College of Law, where
he was a member of the National Trial Moot
Court Team and the recipient of the American
Jurisprudence Award for National Trial Team,
Greg has been recognized by his colleagues
for his outstanding work. He is a Charter
Member and Fellow of the Litigation Counsel
of America. Coleman Edwards, P.C.
aggressively pursues clients’ rights for
all types of motor vehicle accidents,
including those involving drunk drivers, hit
and run drivers, and uninsured/under-insured
drivers. The firm also represents those
victims who have been injured in
tractor-trailer accidents, workers
compensation, toxic tort, asbestos related
diseases, and all areas of personal injury.
The foundation of the firm’s philosophy in
the practice of law is that protecting
clients’ rights and interests is the most
important thing. You can contact Greg

The Wrongful Conviction Of Ted White Jr.
74:42
The Wrongful Conviction Of Ted White Jr. On
April 10, 1998, Ted White, Jr. was charged
with 13 felony criminal counts ranging from
rape, child molestation, sodomy, and accused
of “deviate sexual intercourse” with
his12-year-old (step) daughter. In 1999, he
was convicted in a Missouri courtroom by a
prosecutor who withheld important exculpatory
evidence, which would have proved Ted’s
innocence! Ted then spent the next 5 years at
the Missouri State Penitentiary, incarcerated
at the infamous “Walls Prison” in
Jefferson City, Missouri, which TIME Magazine
called the “bloodiest 47 acres in
America.” The prison was built in 1836,
the same year that Andrew Jackson was
President of the United States Davy Crockett
died at the Alamo and Charles Darwin sailed
his HMS Beagle around the world. Because
Ted White was absolutely 100% innocent he was
now in the “fight of his life, to prove his
innocence. He’d been set up by his ex-wife,
Tina, and the investigating police detective.
Tina and the detective became lovers during
Ted’s trial and later married. The entire
molestation allegations had been fabricated.
Evidence was destroyed of the alleged child
victim’s diary she had written at age 12,
which mentioned nothing about any abuse, but
rather, praised her dad, Ted, and derided the
ex-wife, Tina, as an overbearing, insensitive
mother who didn’t care about her. The
former police detective later admitted to
receiving $500,000 worth of stock that Ted
was forced to forfeit as a convicted felon.
Imagine how Ted White endured those 5 long
years in prison with some of America’s most
dangerous criminals, while being classified
as a rapist and a child sex offender. Imagine
his anxiety through 3 criminal trials, not
knowing if he would ever get justice. Imagine
the horrific fear and pain Ted felt when he
was violently attacked in prison, breaking
bones in his face that required him to have
reconstructive surgery. Imagine his
humiliation, his indignity, his seething
anger and the hopelessness in feeling there
is no justice. Can you imagine being in his
shoes, feeling accused, condemned and
forgotten to the world! Today, The Insider
Exclusive is proud to present a story of
injustice: “The Wrongful Conviction of Ted
White Jr.,” along with Ted White himself,
Dan Miller, the jury foreperson, and Cyndy
Short and Matthew O’Connor – the two
dedicated lawyers who fought incessantly for
Ted’s release and acquittal. Cyndy
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 Spence's 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 Cyndy's dedication,
compassion, personal sacrifice, and skill as
a trial lawyer. The 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 lawyer's 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. Matthew J. O’Connor brings to
his clients a wealth of expertise and an
unparalleled passion for justice. Serving as
the District Defender for the Fifth Judicial
Circuit and later founding a thriving private
practice, Matt has experienced tremendous
success on a variety of legal playing fields.
A seasoned Missouri criminal defense attorney
with extensive trial experience, Matt’s
legal expertise and storied courtroom skills
have resulted in numerous successful verdicts
for his clients. The media throughout
northwestern Missouri has noted his charisma
in court. As a result, he has been called on
many times to serve as a television legal
commentator and expert for several high
profile trials in the region. Though he is
best known for his trial practice, Matt is
proud of his many appellate victories. Due to
his strength and style of appellate advocacy
the Attorney General’s Office has three
times been forced to uncharacteristically
confess error and concede reversal of
Matt’s clients’ convictions. The
O’Connor Law Firm has extensive experience
and great success in the area of Federal
Criminal Defense. The Federal court system
requires an attorney with a high level of
skill and experience in the particular area
of law. Whether someone is facing Federal
Drug Charges or has been charged with a White
Collar Crime, such as money laundering,
embezzlement, forgery, mail fraud, internet
fraud, bank fraud or identity theft, The
O’Connor Law Firm has the experience to
help clients with the upmost level of
discretion and confidentiality. You can

Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric Peoples’s
Story Popcorn Lung Disease, or
Popcorn Workers Lung, appears mostly among
factory workers in microwave popcorn plants.
The illness is thought to be caused by the
inhaled vapors of the butter flavoring
(Diacetyl) used in microwave popcorn. The
most likely victims of this illness are
workers who mix the paste or powder forms of
Diacetyl with oil to prepare it for use in
the popcorn packets. Popcorn Lung Disease
occurs most frequently in regions where the
manufacture of microwave popcorn is a big
industry. There are many such hotspots
throughout the United States. Because the

including Eric Peoples, they have probably
represented someone from your city or county
already. They are familiar with the principal
manufacturers of microwave popcorn. They know
about plants, the owners and managers, and
the litigation history of each hotspot. And
that’s why they have successfully tried
the only jury trials in the country, with
over $53 million dollars in jury verdicts and
hundreds of settlements against the
manufacturers, who protest that it was the
employers responsibility to follow safety
instructions. Today The Insider Exclusive
presents “Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric
Peoples’s Story” – and shows how the
flavoring Industry used workers like Eric
Peoples as “Blue Collar Guinea Pigs” for
years. Eric played by the rules; he worked to
support his family. And the unregulated
microwave popcorn industry virtually
destroyed his life. Kenneth B. McClain began
his firm’s asbestos practice in 1984, when
he represented the Independence, Missouri
school district. It was the first case in the
country to return a verdict for a school
district to recover the cost of removing
asbestos from a building. Since then, Ken has
represented asbestos personal injury victims
and owners of buildings contaminated by
asbestos across the United States. On October
6, 1997, he settled the first individual
tobacco tort action in New York for Janet
Sackman, the Lucky Strike poster model. A

Toyota Saves Driver - The Michael Hilber
Story
24:55
Toyota Saves Driver - The Michael Hilber
Story It is often said that “The true
measure of any man is not how they stand in
moments of comfort and convenience, but how
they stand in moments of challenge and
controversy.” Michael Hilber is one of
those true heroes who has stood tall in
moments of horrific personal catastrophe,
someone who has had the capacity to
persevere, to continue onwards in the face of
great emotional and physical pain and
adversity and survive a disaster that is
unthinkable to the average person. In 2008,
53-year-old Mike Hilber was on his way to
work, driving down a county road in rural
Anoka County, Minnesota. He was on his way to
teach at a technical college about 40 miles
from home. He stopped at a four-way stop
intersection, looking both ways. When it was
clear, he drove into the intersection, and
his live changed forever!! An 80,000-pound
tractor-trailer flew right through the Stop
sign, never stopping for one minute, and
smashed into Mike’s Toyota Prius, full
blast. The truck driver later admitted he
“never saw the STOP sign.” Mike’s
little Prius was mangled almost beyond
recognition. The semi struck him on the
driver’s side. All that was left was
twisted metal and broken glass. Looking at
crash scene photos, it’s hard to believe
Mike survived. But Mike hung on to dear life,
if only by a thread. He suffered a complex
and complicated pelvic fracture, requiring

Native American Law – The Shell Game
of Daniel Edwin Jones
22:30
Native American Law – The Shell Game of
Daniel Edwin Jones The Shakopee
Mdewakanton Sioux are a federally recognized
Indian tribe. Tribal members are the direct
lineal descendants of the Mdewakanton Dakota
people who resided in villages near the banks
of the lower Minnesota River. They own more
than 2,800 acres of land, and operate many
thriving successful businesses, including the
Mystic Lake Casino Hotel & the Little Six
Casino. Mystic Lake Casino is The Twin
Cities’ only casino hotel and one of the
largest Midwest casinos, and features the
finest in Midwest gaming combined with all
the amenities of a luxury resort. As the
largest employer in the county, they employ
more than 4,100 people and are a powerful
economic force. Their annual payroll is over
$143.7 million. To the “Shock-Pay”
Mdewakantonwan (“Medawák-ha?to?”) being
a good neighbor is an extension of the
cultural tradition of being a good relative.
The Dakota people believe that all living
beings are relatives and should be treated
not only with dignity and respect, but also
helped in their day-to-day lives. To honor
their ancestors and continue their Dakota
traditions, they believe that to “forget
one's ancestors is to be a brook without a
source, a tree without root. Those who
preserve their integrity remain unshaken by
the storms of daily life. They do not stir
like leaves on a tree or follow the herd
where it runs.” In their mind remains the
ideal attitude and conduct of living. This
gift is not given to them by others; it is in
their roots, a strength that exists deep
within them. Daniel Edwin Jones is a member
of this proud tribe, but definitely does not
live up to its high standard of integrity and
tradition! In 2008, Fred Soucie, lawyer for
Brittany Powell’s mom and sister,
successfully settled a civil case against
Jones, wherein he agreed to pay $2 million to
the family of Brittany Powell, in
installments of one $500,000 payment, plus
$10,000 per month for 12 months, and
$20,000/mo for 69 months. Jones paid
$10,000/month for 12 months and now has
refused to pay anything else. As an adult
member of the “Shock-Pay” Mdewakantonwan
(“Medawák-ha?to?”) he earns $900,000
yearly. That’s $900,000 each and every
year. He just bought a big mansion and a
Mercedes, but refuses to pay any more money
per his legally signed agreement, and is now
using the “sovereign Immunity” of his
Indian tribe as a cover and a
cop-out. Jones’ outrageous conduct
reopened the wounds of grief for Brittany’s
family. Jones is rubbing salt in those
wounds. He is arrogant, he’s flippant and
he is dismissive; and he has never shown any
remorse whatsoever .He flaunts his wealth by
arranging for a big black limo to pick him up
after court hearings. He makes flippant
remarks to Brittany’s lawyers outside of
the courtroom after hearings. His attitude is
“Ha ha, you can’t touch me. I’m a
Native American and I don’t have to worry
about breaching my promises because you
can’t touch me. I’m protected by
Sovereign Nation Status.” Today the
Insider Exclusive goes behind the headlines
to expose Daniel Edwin Jones and find out how
Brittany’s family and their lawyer, Fred
Soucie, plan to get justice for Brittany, her
mom (Victoria Powell Smith), and her sister
(Ariel Powell). And we are sure that the
proud “Shock-Pay” Mdewakantonwan
(“Medawák-ha?to?”) tribe does not
condone nor approve of Daniel Edwin Jones’
conduct since he does not live up to the
great traditions of being a good neighbor and
holding that all living beings are relatives
and should be treated not only with dignity
and respect, but also helped in their
day-to-day lives. Fred Soucie has a national
reputation in catastrophic personal injury
and wrongful death matters of all kinds. His

The Silent Epidemic – Nursing Home
Care Abuse
49:39
The Silent Epidemic – Nursing Home Care
Abuse Choosing a nursing home can cause a lot
of anxiety and feelings of guilt for
families. The decision to place a family
member under the care of a nursing home
facility is usually made when health and/or
mental capabilities have declined and the
family is no longer able to sufficiently care
for their loved one. All facilities must
insure and protect the rights of every
resident and provide a clean, healthy,
attractive environment. Residents are
entitled to treatment regardless of race,
color, religion, national origin, ability to
pay, or source of payment. Every resident has
the right to request the name and function of
all individuals providing them service and
the identification of other health care
facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, and
other institutions that may provide them with
services. You may not be aware that you can
review the state surveys of each home that
you have an interest in because Medicare and
Medicaid facilities are required by law to
let you see their survey reports. Signs to
look for that may indicate improper care at a
nursing home include strong smells of urine
and feces, vests and other devices that tie
or hold people down in their beds, lack of
privacy, lack of dignity, unanswered calls
for help, inactivity and loneliness, and lack
of help with eating. Every resident has the
right to receive medical care, nursing care,
rehabilitative and restorative therapies, and
personal hygiene in a safe, clean
environment. Also, residents have the right
to be fully informed of his/her medical
condition unless the physician indicates in
the medical records that it is not in the
best interest of the patient to be told.
Residents have the right to be advised by a
physician or appropriate professional staff
of alternative courses of care and treatments
and their consequences. It is imperative to
do your homework when choosing a nursing home
facility to avoid any instances of
foreseeable abuse, neglect, and death that
continue to be reported within nursing home
facilities nationwide every day. Every
resident has the right to be treated with
consideration, respect, and dignity in full
recognition of his/her individuality. This
includes privacy during medical treatment and
care of personal needs. People not involved
in the care of the resident should not be
present during examinations and treatment
without consent from the resident. Every
resident should be encouraged and assisted to
exercise his/her right to voice grievances
and recommend changes in policies and
services to facility staff and/or outside
representatives of his/her choice without
fear of coercion, discrimination, or
reprisal. As this next tragic story with
Corine Kennedy – a 92-year-old woman –
proves, everything went wrong. In 2004,
Corine was sexually molested by one of St
John’s Nursing Home’s “Certified
Nursing Assistants,” Joseph Piccoli, on
four separate occasions at their Jackson Hole
Wyoming facility. Reports had been made to
the management of St. John’s Nursing Home
about these four independent acts of sexual
molestation, yet the management of St.
John’s Nursing Home denied they had ever
received any report of sexual misconduct, and
refused to do anything about them. You will
see and hear sworn testimony of some of St
John’s employees who reported having seen
Piccoli’s sexual misconduct. And then these
employees suffered retaliation by certain
managers and supervisors. Each one gives
detailed and graphic descriptions of personal
observations that Piccoli engaged in obvious
sexual conduct with Corine Kennedy, and how
they had each reported what they had seen to
their managers. Yet no investigation was
conducted. Today the Insider Exclusive goes
behind the headlines to report how Vance
Countryman, the lawyer for the children of
Corine Kennedy, confronted the administration
of St John’s Nursing Home with its failure
to protect their mother from Piccoli, who had
repeatedly abused her. Vance T. Countryman
is a highly distinguished attorney and leader
in his field. His extensive experience
handling groundbreaking lawsuits makes him an
advocate with the credentials and success to
fight for his clients. Vance T. Countryman,
P.C. addresses a variety of legal issues,
providing expert representation to those who
have suffered harm. The firm’s expertise
includes handling legal disputes involving
auto collisions, defective products, job site
injuries and wrongful deaths. You can

Kimmy Dahl – Minneapolis’s Hero of
the 35W I Bridge
28:58
Kimmy Dahl – Minneapolis’s Hero of the
35W I Bridge When the images of the 35W
bridge collapse first appeared on television,
one picture scared the entire nation: a
school bus was caught amid the wreckage and
52 children were on board. And the driver,
Kimmy Dahl, was somehow able to keep her foot
on the brake until every person was off of
the bus, including her own two children,
Arrianna and David, who initially refused to
leave their mom! Just 50 feet back and they
could have all been in the river! Kimmy was
honored as a hero by her bus company for the
courage and determination she displayed that
day. She broke her back in two places,
suffering a litany of pain, surgeries,
disability and severe emotional distress. She
has not returned to the job she loved. She
has wrestled not only with her own emotional
distress, but also with the emotional
distress her children suffered. But being a
hero was not good enough to pay all her
medical bills. In fact, the architects,
designers and contractors who constructed
this bridge were completely “off the
hook” legally, due to a strange law called
the Statute of Repose. That’s right:
because this bridge is considered an
“improvement to real estate,” the law
provides that 10 years after an improvement
to real estate is constructed, the parties
responsible for the construction are
completely off the hook no matter how
negligent they might have been in the
construction of the improvement. To add
insult to injury, if the State of Minnesota
is deemed responsible for the bridge
collapse, the maximum amount that is
available for all victims and their families
is only $1 million dollars – total!!
That’s not per victim, but for all the
victims combined! Today the Insider
Exclusive goes behind the headlines to show
how Kimmy’s lawyer, Fred Soucie, and a
group of lawyers lobbied the Minnesota
Legislature and Governor to get justice, in
the form of a “Compensation Fund” for
Kimmy and all the victims of this disaster.
Fred and his group of lawyers did this
absolutely FREE, because he believes that we,
as a society, must not only rebuild the
bridge but must also help these victims and
heroes rebuild their lives. Fred Soucie has a
national reputation in catastrophic personal
injury and wrongful death matters of all
kinds. His clients are treated with the
utmost care and respect. Fred consistently
obtains some of the most significant

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
