I think I'd have to think long and hard about hiring a former prosecutor as my defense attorney! They'd have to do some major convincing that they were working in my best interests!And, back to the matter at hand, I've had a bit of email with Mr. Alkabily's attorney, Peter Baruch. He doesn't want to talk about it, even with another attorney. I told him there are people who might be willing and able to help him with the case, and that there's a group of dedicated and interested people watching the case carefully. He's not interested. One thing we agreed on is that neither of us knows the other. So I'll be as interested as everyone else to watch that case carefully. I pointed out to him why I think that statute is unconstitutionally vague, but no response - I wonder whether, as a former prosecutor, he regards such arguments as "technicalities".
The next hearing date is July 13 at 1:00 p.m., which looks like the preliminary hearing to me, in the Chesterfield Co. General District Court. I'm hoping that some folks will be able to go there, listen to the statements of witnesses in support of the probable cause basis, and tell us what they said.
