for the role of William H. Jeffress, Jr. - William H. Macy...separated at birth or not?About Me
- Name: Patrick J. Fitzgerald
- Location: U.S. Attorney On Assignment - WDC, Illinois, United States
Think Globally Prosecute Locally - I grew up in Flatbush, kept my nose clean, went to law school. Now that I am in Chicago and D.C. I have found that the rampant graft and corruption to be a travesty - a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham. ---Favorite quote --- "Conditional love is an oxymoron." - Yours truly

In his 34 years as a trial lawyer, Bill Jeffress has tried over 29 complex civil and criminal cases before juries in nine different states and the District of Columbia. He has also tried dozens of cases before judges and administrative tribunals. Mr. Jeffress' cases have involved a wide range of substantive areas, including fraud, government procurement, antitrust, securities, regulation of financial institutions, insurance, newsgathering, tax, healthcare, international transactions, civil rights, and public corruption.
A large part of Mr. Jeffress' practice centers on the representation of corporations and individuals under investigation for violation of criminal laws, and defending them where indictments are returned. He has won acquittals for public officials accused of extortion, perjury, money laundering, and vote-buying; for lawyers charged with bank fraud, insurance fraud, and money laundering; and for businessmen accused of antitrust offenses, bribery, tax fraud, mail fraud, misapplication of funds, and RICO violations.
Mr. Jeffress defended ABC News in a landmark case alleging fraud and trespass during newsgathering, successfully prosecuted the Mexican national oil company for civil contempt, won a Supreme Court ruling for former President Richard Nixon involving public access to the Watergate tapes, and achieved a landmark ruling involving wheelchair accessibility at sports arenas under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
After graduation from law school, Mr. Jeffress served as a law clerk to Judge Gerhard A. Gesell of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, and as a law clerk to Justice Potter Stewart of the United States Supreme Court. He has served as Chair of the American Bar Association's Criminal Justice Standards Committee, and was a member of the ABA's Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility from 1996 to 2002. He is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, and has testified as an expert witness on legal ethics and criminal defense practice.

I will play Fitz and Katie wants to play Judy Miller!
Sorry Tomcat, I am Fitz material you can play Libby.
Katie is too wholesome for the role of Judy. The rumors already have Courtney Love as the hands on favorite.
Update:
FDL:
One of the guys is a 60s white male. Said about Iraq, we can't stay, we can't go. Sometimes questions credibility of the Bush Administration. But will keep an
open mind.
Another is thirties white female.
One is a retired hotel manager.
Another is a guy who only reads the bible.
Late thirties, white female, very giggly, is in.
Lockheed woman, going after billion dollars of business, is still in.
A woman whose son was sent to prison by Judge Walton is in.
Some of the people who have been stricken is an intell guy who does software simulations, the MoveOn guy, a lawyer who knew Woodward, an Israeli MIT PhD, a GW grad student.
Courtney Love-what a wonderful choice to play Judy Miller!
They could be twins they look so much alike!

Walton is dismissing the rest.
Trial starts tomorrow.
p.s.
Thank god that we got a jury. Now, let's the games begin with opening statements tomorrow...
SPB,
I can't believe the woman whose son was sent to prison by Judge Reggie is in. If it was another judge -- okay. But it feels wierd to me.
If some judge sent my son to prison, I think I might have a hard time being ubiased about the judge's rulings...
Q:
Isn't that amazing? That woman is in but a lawyer who knew Woodward is out... It is amazing who is excused and who stays in the pool of jury.. The jury selection on this trial should be made for T.V.
*lol*
JUST IN FROM FDL:
Will start at 9:30. Will take less than an hour. Both Wells and Fitz are standing looking very humble. Fitz with his head to the side. Wells with his hand in the pockets.
Fitz will take an hour for his opening. And Wells is happy to break his opening statement in two, befor eand after lunch.
Done for the day!
Schedule for tomorrow:
9:30 - 10:30 Jury Instructions
10:30 to 11:30 Fitz' opening
12:00 to 1:00 Wells Part One
2:00 to 3:00 Wells Part Two
My opening statement is already finished. Should I post it on here tonight? ;)
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah. give the fellow bloggers a sneak peek to your opening statements tomorrow.
:D
LMAO Fitzie!
Knock 'em dead with your opening statement tomorrow...
Yes-YES!
"Both Wells and Fitz are standing looking very humble."
Shucks Fitzie, I want to see that picture of you being humble ;)
Well, come tomorrow, neither Wells or Fitz will be standing "humble." Both of them are looking to win. But, it will be interesting hearing both of them present their opening statements.

I'll really have to make a conscious effort to keep my nose farther than three inches from the screen.
LMAO @ "I'll really have to make a conscious effort to keep my nose farther than three inches from the screen."
Very funny Stephanie...You're making me feel a little less OCD about this trial myself!

Omigod, that's so sweet of you to give us a sneak preview!!
We will probably get the makeup of the jurors later on FDL. I wonder if the woman from Lockheed Martin or the woman whose so was sent to prison by Walton were chosen as one of the 12 jurors..
Grandmanuk,
I bet FDL will have a posting of opening statements tomorrow too.
Yes post the opening statement and let me know what you were wearing and if you were standing straight. What did you have for lunch, what color tie did you wear, was Randall ok. Did the Brother Libby fall of the chair. Was there eye contact with the jurors. Did you kick butt? I want to know everything.
SPB,
How about the woman that was charmed by PJF when he said her children had to be very young...I wonder if she is still on?
They even have an opera singer to belt out the verdict at the end -- awesome!
Schuster says jury made up of:
9 women 3 men
10 White, 2 African American
You know, I don't know if that woman made that cut Quzi. There were so many jurors that were excused and stayed last week that it was really heard to really keep up.
"9 women 3 men
10 White, 2 African American"
Interesting makeup of jurors. 9 women. That should score in Fitz's corner. And I bet quite of number of those jurors are Bush's critics.
SPB,
I read at FDL that the former WaPo reporter, who worked for Woodward, made the cut...unbelievable too.
I like the idea of nine women...if a woman thinks you are lying look out! This may very well work in Fitzie's favor!
I hope there are no stealth jurors on this one who would hold out for Scooter-Patooter...
Q:
I just read about that. I was under the impression that the lawyers was cut. I wonder of the woman whose son was sent to prison by Walton is in. But anyway, here are the remainder of the makeup of jurors:
Of the folks in the jury pool (both in the jury and alternates), we have a web architect, an investment banker, a travel agent, a retired math teacher, a consumer protection attorney, someone from HHS, an art curator, the fellow whose former editor was Bob Woodward, someone who works in hotel sales, one person who has formerly served as a jury foreperson in a prior criminal case, someone who does data entry, a retired postal worker, a day care provider, and a juror who formerly worked for the military, then a nonprofit and is now retired.
What I don't understand is the jury pool was 80% white but the population of race in D.C. is 30% white. Go figure.
Courtney Love is beautiful with lovely skin....
Judy has neither
but they both went to the same finishing school ;)

Very funny Stephanie...You're making me feel a little less OCD about this trial myself!
Hey, thanks!
Glad I could brighten your day.
:-)
And OCD, that's the truth!
Fitz:
I can't wait to hear your opening statement! :)
It's gonna be good...something like this, eh Fitz?
"You can act like a man! [slap] What's the matter with you?"
Don Corleone to Johnny Fontane (The Godfather)
Or, how about this line..
"Today I settled all Family business, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo."
Don Michael Corleone to Carlo Rizzi
LOLMAO!
Just kidding you Fitz! hehe
I know your opening statement will be incredible!! :)
