Dershowitz: Elian Has No Lawyer

Jack Thompson

Friday, May 12, 2000

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, appearing on two national television
shows, has stated emphatically that no lawyer represented Elian at this week's
court hearing.

His conclusions are the same as those of Donato Dalrymple, one of the
fishermen who saved Elian from the sea and who has taken the extraordinary
step of petitioning the court to appoint a lawyer to represent Elian's interest.

As Donato and other legal experts have pointed out, Miami lawyer Kendall
Coffey is simply masquerading as Elian's attorney. Coffey has too many
conflicts of interest - including the fact he has been a close associate of Janet
Reno's for more than a decade - to act impartially on Elian's behalf.

Dershowitz told Geraldo on Thursday night, "But the person who was absent in
this courtroom - and this is very important - was Elian or any lawyer
representing Elian. Everybody else in that courtroom had another interest. They
had an interest in representing the U.S. government, in representing Castro, in
being opposed to Castro, the National Council of Churches ... There was
nobody there saying, 'Look, I am unconflicted, I have read ... I have looked at
everything; I have spoken to Elian ... I'm here to tell you what he himself wants
and why he signed the initial application and why he withdrew the application
...' The absence of Elian's lawyer is a critical omission in this case."

Twenty-four hours after this reporter and Donato Dalrymple appeared on the
Fox News Channel's The Edge with Paula Zahn to explain why Elian Gonzalez
needs his own attorney, Dershowitz also appeared on the same program
saying precisely the same thing.

DERSHOWITZ: "You know, Paula, the hearing room in the 11th Circuit Court of
Appeals was missing someone today. The most important person of all wasn't
there. There was no attorney there speaking on behalf of the boy who may want
to seek asylum in this country. How can any lawyer who has an agenda speak
credibly for the boy? What he needs is his own lawyer appointed by the court
who can put forth his interests unencumbered by any agenda other than the
boy's welfare."

FROM DONATO'S BRIEF: "Should the court agree with me that the boy needs
his own attorney, an attorney who will present to the court the boy's positions in
their fullness ... then I would ask the court to order that he have his own counsel
before any other proceedings on this matter."

Professor Dershowitz, meet Donato Darymple.

Kendall Coffey, meet two men who have explained to the world how thoroughly
you have betrayed this boy.
