Spain court rejects torture case extraditions
Law Firm Press Release |
2014/04/30 11:59
|
Spain's National Court has rejected the extradition to Argentina of a second former police officer accused of torturing people during Spain's long dictatorship.
The court turned down the extradition of Spaniard Antonio Gonzalez Pacheco on Wednesday, saying his alleged offences in the 1970s were not crimes against humanity and thus had exceeded the statute of limitations.
The court recently rejected the extradition to Argentina of another former officer, Jesus Munecas, on similar grounds.
An Argentine investigative magistrate had sought their extradition for questioning under the principle of universal jurisdiction.
The judge took up the probe after a Spanish investigation into the dictatorship's crimes was halted in 2012. Spain was ruled by Gen. Francisco Franco from 1939 until his death in 1975. |

High court to hear dispute about TV over Internet
Law Firm Press Release |
2014/04/21 15:01

Thirty years ago, big media companies failed to convince the Supreme Court of the threat posed by home video recordings.
Now they're back — and trying to rein in a different innovation that they say threatens their financial well-being.
The battle has moved out of viewers' living rooms, where people once marveled at their ability to pop a cassette into a recorder and capture their favorite programs or the sporting event they wouldn't be home to see.
The new legal fight shifts to the Supreme Court Tuesday with arguments against a startup business using Internet-based technology to give subscribers the ability to watch programs anywhere they can take portable devices.
Aereo takes free television signals from the airwaves and sends them over the Internet to paying subscribers in 11 cities. |

Court rules for environmentalists in water fight
Law Firm Press Release |
2014/04/17 15:08
|
An appeals court said Wednesday that federal officials should have consulted wildlife agencies about potential harm to a tiny, threatened fish before issuing contracts for water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
An 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation violated the Endangered Species Act when it failed to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service in renewing 41 contracts a decade ago. The appeals court sent the case back to a trial judge for further proceedings.
The ruling arises from one of several lawsuits filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council and other environmentalists seeking to protect the Delta smelt. The ruling won't affect water flows because protections for the smelt were kept in place during the lawsuit.
"This about how we are going to manage the water in the future," said Douglas Obegi, a lawyer with the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Water-rights holders and government lawyers argued that consultation wasn't necessary because the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation was required to renew the contracts and had no discretion over terms of the agreement that would control water levels in the Delta. |

SC Supreme Court hears appeal in fatal dog attack
Law Firm Press Release |
2014/04/15 15:07
|
Prosecutors want South Carolina's highest court to reinstate the conviction of a Dillon County man whose dogs attacked and killed a 10-year-old boy in 2006.
The state Supreme Court on Tuesday hears an appeal in the case of Bentley Collins. In 2012, the state Court of Appeals overturned Collins' involuntary manslaughter conviction and prison sentence, ruling a judge shouldn't have allowed prosecutors to show pictures of the boy taken before his autopsy.
The photographs showed the extent of the boy's injuries, including how the dogs mauled him so badly his bones were exposed and his ears and nose were eaten.
The judges said the pathologist testified to the injuries, so the photographs did nothing more than rile the jury's emotions. |
