Keith and Dennis Reeves of the RPD office. Keith andReeves were assisted by mitigation investigators SarahMolzow and Rob Cowey and fact investigator AlbertMiraval.Send your letters, pictures, gripes, bonehead gaffes, or whathave-youto rwardroup@tcdla.com.KudosOn March 8, 2012, two third-year law student attorneys,Karla Valles and Mary Porter, tried a 0.12 DWI breath testcase to a jury. The student attorneys were working throughthe Caprock Regional Public Defender Office, overseenby Donnie Yandell. They were supervised at trial by AssistantPD Charlie Pelowski. The student attorneys got atwo-word verdict after less than one hour of deliberations.Thanks goes to John Gioffredi of Dallas, whose Voir DireDVD (available from TCDLA) gave them some ideas onhow to handle the technical supervisor. After watchingthat DVD, the student attorneys had the guts (some wouldsay nerve) to use one of John’s techniques. With the technicalsupervisor on cross, Ms. Valles asked him a question.He answered. She wrote his answer in black felt tipmarker on a flip-chart pad and then asked him to sign it.He signed it, in red felt tip marker, as it was his testimony.The statement she wrote and he signed was, “Withoutknowing what (Client) had to drink an hour prior to thisstop I cannot know his BAC at the time of driving.” Duringfinal argument she put the chart up behind her so the jurycould see. NOT GUILTY! Thanks also to all that helpedprepare the ladies for their first foray into battle, includingbut not limited to Stephen Hamilton and all of the volunteersthat helped by mocking voir dire and opening for thestudent attorneys.The Regional Public Defender for Capital Cases securedan agreed plea of guilty in a Lubbock County capital murdercase in January. The State had filed notice of intent toseek a death penalty, but the plea resulted in a life withoutparole sentence. The case was known locally as thebootycall.com murder for the way the defendant and thevictim met.
