Tooth and nail defense is needed in Virginia court, says Fairfax criminal lawyer

Tooth and nail fighting is needed in your Virginia defense. As a Fairfax criminal lawyer, I reognize, highly respect and fully honor such fighting as we have recently seen in the no holds barred battle by an autistic Texas death row inmate’s criminal defense team, in obtaining an eleventh hour state supreme court reprieve from his execution, but only in the form of cancelling his death warrant, that can be renewed, after the intermediate appellate court stayed his sentence pending a subpoena for him to testify in the state legislature early this week (which subpoena I assume was issued as part of a widespread bipartisan effort to stop this man’s state-sponsored murder.) This defendant, Robert Roberson. turns out to have been convicted of murder on outdated and unreliable shaken baby syndrome junk science, where the child’s death may well have instead resulted from her being very sickly from birth and from her dangerous medication regime, prescribed by health care professionals and not by her defendant father. On top of that, the man’s autism gave him a flat effectation that was misinterprted by hospital personnel as non-caring, and thus consciousness of guild. This whole storm of unfairness underliens why capital punishment needs to be abolished, let alone the unfairness of keeping this man incarcerated for the last two decades.

Your Fairfax criminal lawyer’s tooth and nail defense needs stamina, drive, a willingness to transcend gut-wrenching injustice and unfairness, and resilience

From the sidelines, alone, of my observing Robert Roberson’s plight from death row this past week, I experienced nail-biting concern that an innocent man was about to be executed, amidst the pubic silence of the governor, who by then seemed to represent the only possiblity of keeping Roberson out of the death chamber, after the U.S. Supreme Court had denied relief, unless a state judge(s) was ready to put a stop or delay to all this. On the day scheduled for his exeucting, a trial judge stayed his execution, whereby the attorney general’s office promptly sought and obtained a reversal from a splintered intermediate appellate court, and then the state supreme court made his death warrant expire, but it can be reissued. For Roberson’s criminal defense lawyer — fighting tooth and nail for him –, their work represented literal midnight oil burning, and rapidly quick typing and sharp minds to move like apparent lighning in denying his execution. Virginia criminal defense is not for the faint of heart, can often be gut wrenching, and repeatedly requires stamina, courage and resilience by your defense attorney. Do your best to settle for nothing less in the lawyer defneding you against a Virginia DUI, felony or criminal prosecution.

Is stamina, resilience, and willingness to transcend gut-wrenching unfairness in the criminal justice system necessary even for my lawyer for a Virginia misdemeanor defense?

Overcover risk in defending yourself in criminal court. Do not get caught with your pants down to do otherwise. You are doing yourself a protective service to obtain a skilled and devoted Virginia criminal defense lawyer who has experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, and who will gladly and excellently batte for you tooth and nail. My most recent trial win was in fact for a misdemeanor prosecution that had me in the courtroom for over two and one’half hours to win. Two and one-half hours pales in compairson to some multi-day felony trials I have defended, but still meant that most of my business day was in the courthouse, when considering waiting time to start the case and the time for an afternoon adjournment. But that still meant my rearranging my meeting schedule for that afternoon when not sure when I would finish. Time is a commodity, and investing my time with my client for many pretrial hours and at the courthouse paid off in platinum.
