I apologize for not getting important information about nursing home issues out in quite a while. Truth be told, I was involved in defending a client in a federal criminal case which took up virtually all of my available time. My client was charged with over 80 counts. The trial lasted 44 days and, at the end of it, my client was acquitted of 36 counts of conspiracy and wire fraud. Unfortunately, he was convicted of 44 counts of securities fraud. Last week, he was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 36 months (3 years), far, far, below the sentence recommended by the United States Sentencing Commission’s Sentencing Guidelines, which was 235 to 293 months (19.5 to 24.4 years). My fight on behalf of my client will continue in the appeal from his conviction.

Be that as it may, expect to see more regular postings in this space regarding issues of interest to my readers.
