OTTAWA COUNTY, MI – In the midst of a 10-week, high-profile murder trial, Prosecutor Ronald Frantz had a trial of his own.
One of his twin daughters was born with a birth defect. Frantz had to be with his wife, Patrice, and their newborn girls.
The trial in 1991 was briefly adjourned. Frantz made trips from the Grand Haven courthouse to the children’s hospital in Grand Rapids. He kept it as quiet as he could but many in court outside of the jurors learned of his struggle.
SALT LAKE CITY A University of Utah law professor maintains that Carter Page should be recognized as a crime victim at the sentencing of an ex-FBI lawyer convicted of falsifying an email used to support an application to spy on the former Trump campaign aide.
Paul Cassell filed a friend-of-the-court brief this week on behalf of the National Crime Victim Law Institute and other crime victims rights organizations in the criminal case against Kevin Clinesmith.
Clinesmith pleaded guilty to altering an email in the Russia investigation and is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 7. If U.S. District Judge James Boasberg recognizes Page as a victim, he would be entitled to make a victim impact statement at the hearing.
maxwell, with ghislaine maxwell, if she proves a useful source of information, then it would behoove her to flip. to be as transparent as possible to the government. yes. she would have to be charged first with something because of now, we don t know. we need leverage. manny, there was back in the original case in 2007 in which was there a plea deal to two charges, a non-prosecution immunity agreement that apparently affects others. i suspect that is not worth the paper it s written on. for a couple of reasons. first, it doesn t immunize you for future acts so acts after 2007 are not covered. second, it appears that it violated the crime victims rights act in which the victims were never notified. right. he had a hubris that he was falling under double jeopardy and he would not be found guilty or this.
