SIDEBAR: THE Americans for the Enforcement of Attorney Ethics has vote Illinois Attorney Michael Gauthier the worst attorney of the year award
NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS (AEAE)-ILLINOIS ATTORNEYS JOEL MURPHY AND TEDONE COSMO GAVE their clients Courtney Mayes 24, and his cousin Cherrod Moore, 31, the Christmas present of their lives. Mayes and Moore had confessed to involvement in the murder of John Rosales, 23. However the Naperville who had arrested them on April 1, 2008 had unlawfully detained them for more than 14 hours at the Napervi9lle Police Station before they were arrested. The Illinois Appellate Court Ruled that the “police did not have probable cause to hold them. The court held that the damning statements that Mruphy and Cosmo gave to the cops confessing to their involvement in the murder had to be thrown out. The two men were doing 20 years to life for the murder of Rosales who was shot in the neck at his Naperville condo during a botched robbery. 2 Naperville murder convictions overturned Let's contrast that decision with the one that former Illinois Governor Rod Blago received yesterday of 14 years sentence for attempting to sell former senator Berak Obama senate seat. It was not shown by the prosecutor that Blago sold Obama's seat to anyone any the prosecutor did not ever establish that Blago received any money for the sale of Obama seat. Yet Blago will go to jail for 14 years and Courtney Mayes and his cousin Cherrod Moore will walk on a murder charge. The difference in the two cases was the lawyers. Blago's first set of attorneys got him off 23 counts of corruption and bilked Blago out of over $2 million dollas in fees. After the money ran out They flew the coup. Blago's second string attorneys which he payed very little to, resulted in a 14 year jail sentence for Blago. According to a University of Chicago Law Professor the “crime had very little to ever do with the sentence, had Blago had another two million for attorney fees he would have been a free man!
