Two attorneys held in contempt by judge

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:11:26 -0500

Drunk driving suspect George Padilla has everything and nothing to do with a strange day in court on Monday. First, his attorney, Roman Romero, lost a motion to have the case thrown out. Judge Rachel Walker-Al-Yasi then ordered a jury trial, because the case is two days away from being dismissed due to the statute of limitations. That’s when Romero said he was too sick to move forward. The courtroom tapes tell the rest—Romero began to leave the courtroom, but the judge wouldn't have it, believing his so-called sickness was a ploy to delay. Judge Rachel Walker Al-Yasi: Because I want to go to trial, and you have decided to violate a direct order. I'm not putting up with this, no. You said enough, be quiet. Be quiet. You want someone to bring your medical records, you should have had a plan.....ah, ah, ah, ah...you should have had a plan for someone. Shut up! Shut up! The more you talk, the deeper you get." Romero was then detained for contempt of court. Then his attorney, Dennis Montoya, arrived hours later with prescription bottles and a doctor's note. Montoya: "I repeat, your honor, you are not competent to practice medicine." Judge Walker Al-Yasi: "Okay, I want you to sit down until you can reconsider your attitude in addressing the court." Montoya: "Your honor, you and the court are not competent to practice medicine." Montoya: "We request to proceed, your honor." Eventually Montoya was thrown out. Montoya: "Your honor, this is an outrage, your honor, your honor! Don't do this judge." Montoya says he plans to file a complaint with the judicial standards commission. He told our cameras, "If the attorney is too sick, and on pain medications— on hydrocodone and muscle relaxants, and feels well enough to do a 10 minute motion hearing, but doesn't feel well enough to do a three-day trial, that's the last word on it." The judge pointed out that if Romero was so highly-medicated, he had no business being in court. As for Romero, he says it wasn't a ploy to delay the case. "I'd rather go to jail than allow my client to suffer an unfair trial," he said. Back to the drunk driving case— it's been pushed back, and it's still possible it will go to trial. All parties have agreed to continue the case. In the meantime, the two attorneys will have to go stand before the judge and explain why they shouldn't be held in contempt.

Expensive healthcare in US creating problems for people

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:55:30 -0500

For many in the US, health care is out of reach because it’s so expensive. As the recession continues, increasing numbers of people are turning to free clinics, like this one that travels around Maryland and Pennsylvania giving people health care, on the go. This trailer isn't just any bus. It's health care on wheels. Every other Monday the 15-year-old Mission of Mercy mobile clinic sets up shop at this Church in Maryland, one of the 9 different places it stops. Patients register in the basement for free medical care. Volunteers and a handful of paid staff see around 150 patients a day. And they are working harder than ever. Gianna Talone-Sullivan, "Because of the troubled economy, people losing their jobs; we have seen a soar of patients. There are just so many people. They wait outside from 2 or 3 in the morning just to come in for dental services." More than 85 million people in the US go for stretches of time without health insurance. The government pays for the poor and the elderly, and over half of Americans are covered by their employers. But everyone else is left to face the astronomical costs on their own. "Dora Andrade?" Dora works in the kitchen of a McDonald's. She is 25, has two children, and has suffered from nearly constant, debilitating headaches for several years. Doctor, "If these have been going on long enough that we need to get a picture of her head. They do sound like a type of a migraine." Dora Andrade, “When you're sick, it feels strange because you say to yourself, what do I have? It could be anything. They're going to do more tests to see be certain. If I went to the hospital, I would get a bill in the thousands. Not in the hundreds. In the thousands." Dr. Sullivan says that much of he treats are chronic diseases that are often exacerbated by a lack of preventative measures that are out of reach to those without health insurance. Dr. Michael Sullivan, “People are here because they have nowhere else to go."
