Barry Bonds' personal trainer ordered to court
Lawyer Blog News | 2009/02/24 12:03
A federal judge has ordered Barry Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, to court to disclose whether he intends to testify at the slugger's trial next month.


U.S. District Judge Susan Illston scheduled a hearing for Wednesday morning and ordered the U.S. Marshals Service to tell Anderson and provide him with transportation, if needed.

The judge has barred prosecutors from using key evidence, such as positive steroids tests, at Bonds' March 2 trial unless Anderson testifies.

Anderson has said through his attorney he will refuse to testify, and he may be sent to prison on contempt of court charges. Anderson was sent to prison after refusing to testify about Bonds before a federal grand jury in 2006.



Court turns down FTC in Rambus case
Court Feed News | 2009/02/23 16:42
The Supreme Court has sided with Rambus Inc., a developer of computer memory technology, in its long-standing antitrust fight with the Federal Trade Commission.


The justices, in an order Monday, are refusing to hear FTC's plea to reinstate the commission's ruling that Rambus, based in Los Altos, Calif., violated antitrust law.

A federal appeals court in Washington overturned the FTC ruling last year.

The Bush administration had declined to back the FTC in its appeal to the high court.



Court rules against al-Qaida member, a US citizen
Lawyer Blog News | 2009/02/23 16:41
The Supreme Court won't review the conviction of a Virginia man for joining al-Qaida and plotting to assassinate then-President George W. Bush.


The court said Monday that it will leave undisturbed the conviction of Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, despite an appeals court finding that his constitutional rights were violated when a judge allowed jurors, but not Abu Ali, to see classified evidence against him.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond determined that the error made no difference to the outcome of the trial.

Abu Ali has challenged various aspects of the legal process, including that he was tortured by interrogators in Saudi Arabia. Federal courts have denied all his appeals.

Born in Houston, Abu Ali grew up in the Washington suburb of Falls Church, Va., and was valedictorian of a private Islamic high school. He joined al-Qaida after traveling to Saudi Arabia to attend college in 2002. As a member of a Medina-based al-Qaida cell, Abu Ali discussed numerous potential terrorist attacks, including a plan to assassinate Bush and a plan to establish a sleeper cell in the United States.

He was sentenced to 30 years in prison, but the appeals court ordered a new sentencing hearing after ruling that the trial judge ignored federal sentencing guidelines that called for life in prison.



Court rejects appeal from convicted Daley aides
Legal Career News | 2009/02/23 13:43
WASHINGTON - Mayor Richard M. Daley's former patronage chief and two other former city officials have failed to persuade the Supreme Court to consider setting aside their fraud convictions.


The justices, in an order Monday, are letting stand Robert Sorich's conviction and 46-month prison term. Sorich and the others were found guilty of skirting laws that ban political city hiring.

The federal appeals court in Chicago earlier upheld the convictions. The court rejected defense arguments that the men couldn't be convicted of criminal fraud because they didn't take bribes or kickbacks.

Justice Antonin Scalia said he voted to accept the appeal and decide the case.

The case is Sorich v. U.S., 08-410.



High Court returns after break; Ginsburg expected
U.S. Legal News | 2009/02/23 11:44
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is expected to be in attendance when the Supreme Court returns from a three-week break Monday.


The court will announce whether it has accepted any cases for review, dispose of hundreds of rejected appeals and hear arguments in cases at a session that should end around noon.

Ginsburg had surgery for pancreatic cancer on Feb. 5. She was released from the hospital eight days later and has said she intends to be in court Monday.



Warden: Jail can't accommodate slaying suspect, 11
Lawyer Blog News | 2009/02/22 16:39
A jail warden said Sunday he will ask a judge to move an 11-year-old boy accused of killing his father's pregnant girlfriend from an adult lockup to a juvenile detention center because the jail cannot accommodate the boy.


Lawrence County Warden Charles Adamo said his 300-inmate jail cannot offer proper long-term care for Jordan Brown, of Wampum, who was charged Saturday with using his own 20-gauge shotgun to kill 26-year-old Kenzie Marie Houk.

Houk was eight months pregnant with the child of Brown's father and also had two daughters, ages 4 and 7, who lived together in the rural home where authorities said she was slain as she lay in bed Friday.

Police said the boy then hopped onto a school bus with Houk's oldest daughter. State troopers picked him up at school after tree trimmers called 911 when Houk's youngest daughter told them she thought her mother was dead.
