Mr. Bear Down, One of Amr's lawyers represented a man found guilty of violent crimes. Andrew Stuart Luster. He fled during a trial recess. Do you know what kind of sentence he received for his disappearing act? I haven't looked up the information. "Luster was on a 12-hour excused absence from his residence at the time of his disappearance, so authorities did not begin to search until he failed to report back. "

After reading a good chunk of the trial transcripts, the prosecution seems pretty plain Jane. If there is something they did At Trial that was a problem, I would like to hear it. What I read was the Prosecution putting out specific events and actions. And the defense trying to show what a nice guy Elgindy was. Others have posted how the Judge was warning the Defense that their defense was not combating directly what the prosecution laid out. Elgindy had tons of lawyers, but frankly they all seemed like toads. After looking at their pictures, I wouldn't be surprised if that lot....just phoned it all in. Who know? I don't think there are many similar cases to this one. They had an FBI agent saying he gave Elgindy FBI files, Elgindy bragging about those files on his website, then the government actually finding the files in his office. If not for big headliner of a corrupt FBI agent, this case would have been much different. With the FBI agent in, they had to purse the case as strongly as possible. Maybe Elgindy's lawyers should have asked that the cases be separated. That may have helped. The Elgindy defense just never made much sense. It was as if Elgindy was specific telling them what they should do at ever turn. But nobody would be so dumb to hire a set of lawyer and tell them how they had to work. That would be nuts. If something else sticks out as far as an unfair prosecutorial advantage at trial, I would be interested in hearing it.
