![]() CHICAGO-(AEAE)-THERE WOULD BE A MAN DEAD TODAY IF IT WERE NOT FOR PROFESSOR ROBERT OWEN FILING A PETITION BEFORE THE UNITES STATES SUPREME COURT. The Supreme Court's "11th hour" stay of execution issued Wednesday evening for a Texas death row inmate gives the justices another chance to revisit a key DNA testing question left unanswered last term. The justices unanimously granted the delay one hour before Henry Skinner was scheduled to die for the 1993 murders of his girlfriend and her two adult sons. Skinner, who claims he is innocent, has sought DNA testing of bloody knives, material beneath the dead woman's fingernails, rape kit samples and other items found at the murder scene. The Court's order (pdf) will remain in effect until the justices act on Skinner's petition for certiorari. Skinner's counsel, Robert Owen http://www.utexas.edu/law/faculty/profile.php?id=owenrc of the University of Texas School of Law, expressed relief in a statement Wednesday night, saying, "As a result of this action, the Court will have more time to determine whether to hear his appeal. This action suggests that the Court believes there are important issues that require closer examination. We remain hopeful that the Court will agree to hear Mr. Skinner's case and ultimately allow him the chance to prove his innocence through DNA testing." The Americans for the Enforcement of Attorney Ethics (AEAE), ranking lawyers since 1974, ranks attorneys who assist indigent prisoners who are convicted of capital crimes at the very top of the legal profession. Mr. Robert Owen ranks at the very top of the AEAE attorney ratings. As opposed to the Bryan Cave LLP law firm http://www.bryancave.com/ , attorneys Steven R. Smith http://www.bryancave.com/srsmith/ , Michael Werich http://www.bryancave.com/michaelwerich/ , the law firm of Roylance, Abrams, Berdo and Goodman www.roylance.com , attorneys Lance G. Johnson, http://www.roylance.com/roylance-abrams-attorneys/Pages/Lance-Johnson.aspx David Abrams http://www.roylance.com/roylance-abrams-attorneys/Pages/david-abrams.aspx and Alfred Goodman http://www.roylance.com/roylance-abrams-attorneys/Pages/Alfred-Goodman.aspx who are ranked as “garbage” at the bottom of the AEAE attorney rating scale as “unqualified” to practice law in AEAE's opinion. This is an illustration of the best and the worst in the legal profession.

So you finally got served. There is only one defendant left which we will nail Monday. You were told 5 years ago that if you did anything to offend, you would spend the rest of your life in court. Consider tonight the "first" day of the rest of your life. The only thing that seperates you from other felons is that you have not been convicted, but that is coming next. You stole five years, you now going to go to jail, once your convicted. Anyone who reads those papers will tell that. We will see how funny it is the next time your in court!

You did it to yourself, you have no one to blame for your criminal acts but yourself and your going to pay. Any one who gets near you is going to be sued too, be sure to tell them that. tonight is the first night in 5 years that I finally will be able to get a "good" nights sleep! CCJ 03/28/2010 3:07am
Just spitballing here, Leo, but maybe if you got a legitimate job for once in your life and made a good faith effort to undergo the counseling you need, you might lay the foundation to being found a fit parent sometime down the road. Leo 03/28/2010 7:07am
Seems Mr. Rowen sent me an email telling me he did not accept my endorsement. He told me to take his name and picture down also. I guess he realized that I'm basically a Liar The Bull 03/28/2010 11:39am

First Pose, feel the exhalation of being named in a complaint as a necessary party, for aiding and abiding a party in the commission of a tort, Civil Racketeering and subornation of perjury, now stretch those legs, its challenging your cardiovascular system without pavement pounding. Although “defendant” yoga has been around for a long time, you will only begin to experience the benefits once you too become a necessary party. So count on it, what you read here, will happen to you, feel the exhalation. Chickenhead Leo 03/28/2010 2:39pm
That's what your cellmate is going to force you to do, fat boy, except it ain't called yoga and there is some pounding involved. Career Counseling 03/28/2010 4:09pm
Even at 64-years-old, Leo, someone with your background and qualifications would make a fine candidate in the hotel and restaurant industry. You could start off working the french fry machine, and with any luck at all, within a year or two they might even promote you to cheeseburgers and malted shakes. Sales Manager 03/28/2010 6:04pm
I told him in 1973 that in ten years he might have my job. In 1974 he started his own business and put me out of business by 1976 Sales Manager 03/28/2010 6:56pm
Leo always forgets to mention that he was the official testing orifice in the gay porn industry for licorice-flavored condoms, but he did put the competition out of business. Leave a Reply |
