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.

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 subspecialist attention. He also suffered multiple pelvic fractures and nerve palsy. In addition, he had a large abdominal wound with evisceration, referred to in the medical records as an abdominal “burst.” He underwent surgery after surgery. Doctors couldn’t stop Mike’s internal bleeding, and he had to be rushed back into the operating room to be reopened and repacked time after time after time. After 16 surgeries, rotating between three hospitals, months of rehab and over $1.2 million dollars in medical bills, Mike is still left with constant pain, and a disability of a horrific disfigurement of his abdomen as well as a seriously diminished capacity to enjoy life as he once did. Today the Insider Exclusive goes behind the headlines and visits with Fred Soucie, Mike’s lawyer, and Mike and his wife, Kathy, to see Mike’s amazing story of incredible courage and determination to survive and recover from these horrific injuries. And to see the amazing love and support of Mike’s wife, Kathy. And just remember, This could happen to any one of us!!! 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 settlements and jury verdicts in Minnesota. Fred has handled numerous catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. He is especially recognized for his cases against power companies for electrical injury and death as well as for his work against gas companies for gas explosion injury and death. After law school, Fred worked on a clam boat on the Atlantic Ocean out of Ocean City, Maryland. He learned there is a “right way”, a “wrong way”, and the “Captain Wayne Watson way” to do things—always do things to the best of your ability. Fred took “Captain Wayne’s way” to heart. Fred survived an airplane crash early on in his legal career and knows what it’s like to be injured and have your injuries doubted and disputed by insurance companies. Fred is proud to be an injury lawyer for justice. He takes an active role in supporting community organizations, especially those who support injured victims. The thing Fred is proudest of is what clients say about the firms service to them during troubled times.

Trailer Truck Accidents.
9:50 On June 13, 2006, Elizabeth Libby Kellum, a 22-year-old Austin College graduate, was driving on U.S. Highway 75 when she was recklessly run over by an 80,000 lb. tractor-trailer driven by an unqualified driver. Libby miraculously survived. This is her story from near death to her amazing medical recovery and how her lawyers, Joel Fineberg and Dean Gresham, took on Big Business and their insurance companies to fight for her justice in the case of Kellum v. Allied Van Lines et al. When Libby took evasive action to avoid a collision with a tractor-trailer that swerved into her lane, she was struck by another tractor-trailer. The collision left her on the brink of death. As a result of the accident, she now suffers permanent brain injury. Libby's parents, individually and on her behalf, sued the two drivers and their respective employers, alleging, among other claims, that the employers failed to perform appropriate background checks of the drivers-which would have revealed numerous citations for driving under the influence, reckless driving, and speeding-failed to have appropriate policies, procedures, and screening for the hiring and retention of truck drivers; and allowed unfit drivers to operate commercial tracks. The drivers also allegedly failed to maintain a proper lookout and failed to obey local, state, and federal laws involving the operation of a motor vehicle.

Andrew and his distinguished guests show us how Wall Street insiders wrecked the global economy, destroyed the American Dream and enriched themselves at the expense of the taxpayer. Far more than an attack against our financial system, the Wall Street insiders responsible for this catastrophe have waged a massive power grab that threatens to undermine our government. With virtually no oversight and billions of dollars having seemingly vanished, the United States is on the brink of going bankrupt - while bankers reap huge bonuses and have Congress take ownership of one failing business after another, from General Motors to Chrysler to AIG. Unless immediate action is taken, we risk sacrificing our solvency and influence as a great power. Andrew Entwistle is the Managing Partner of Entwistle & Cappucci LLP. Andrew's practice principally involves the representation of public and private institutional investors in complex litigation and corporate finance and transactional matters.

For example, Andrew's recent representation of the Colorado Public Employees Retirement Association in In re Royal Ahold N.V. Securities and ERISA Litigation led to a recovery of more than $1.1 billion for his clients. Andrew is also actively engaged in the defense of institutional investors and international businesses in complex securities, antitrust, bankruptcy and corporate finance related matters. Entwistle & Cappucci LLP is a national law firm with eight offices strategically located throughout the country to best serve clients' diverse needs.

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 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, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

Murdered by Mumia
9:47 Murdered by Mumia: A Life Sentence of Loss, Pain, and Injustice. Maureen Faulkner, the widow of slain Philadelphia police officer Danny Faulkner, is featured in an exciting, exclusive, in-depth and inside interview, discussing her new book/nMurdered by Mumia: A Life Sentence of Loss, Pain, and Injustice. Maureen's husband was shot between the eyes on a cold December night in 1981. Mumia Abu-Jamal was unanimously convicted of the crime by a racially mixed jury based on: the testimony of several eyewitnesses, his ownership of the murder weapon, matching ballistics, and Abu-Jamal's own confession. After his conviction, however, a national anti-death penalty movement was started to "Free Mumia;" Mike Farrell, Ed Asner, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jesse Jackson rallied on his behalf, and led the charge. For his part, while on death row, Abu-Jamal published several books, delivered radio commentaries, was a college commencement speaker, found himself named an Honorary Citizen of France, and had his defense coffers enhanced by ticket sales from a sold out (16,000-person) concert featuring Rage Against the Machine. Now, with this interview Maureen carefully and definitively lays out the case against Abu-Jamal, and those who've elevated him to the status of political prisoner. As Abu-Jamal's lawyers contemplate their final appeal, Faulkner weaves a compelling, never-before-told account of one fateful night and the 25-year-long rewriting of history. She offers a vivid story that demands our attention and the pursuit of justice for her late husband./nYou can learn more about Maureen Faulkner at http://www.murderedbymumia.com Added: 989 days ago From: insiderexclusive Views: 58,433 | Comments: 0
