I didn't like this new prosecutor one bit. He reminded me of Beeker from the Muppets. Tall. Blonde hair that stood on end. Thin, long face. Sharp, quick dark brown eyes that didn't seem to miss much. Dark blue suits. Always dark blue suits and a gold watch.
He was the first chair in the room. We'll call him Matt. A first chair is the boss-prosecutor in the courtroom. The second and third chair are his underlings. The first chair takes all the big cases; he's the lead counsel on them. The second chair helps him out, as well as working on his own cases. The third chair assists the second chair in his cases, and handles the little grunt cases that no one gives a shit about, like drug possession or felony traffic or felony battery, that sort of thing.
But Matt was a first chair, the big boss in the room, the one who handled all the cases that had some heat on them, so we had that going for us.
I wasn't enthused. I didn't like interacting with Matt much. (Which was good because I never had to say a word around him, and I preferred it that way.)
Like most prosecutors, especially back in my neophyte days (not that I'm some scholar now, but you know what I mean), Matt behaved very dismissively toward me.
I don't fault most of them for that. When you're a veteran in the office, or even a mid-level prosecutor like Matt, you're going to look at a fresh-faced opposing counsel and be like, "Ugh, this kid? I'm not dealing with her. I'll talk to the old guy with the mustache instead."
Like, okay, fine, I get that. That's totally valid.
But you don't have to be a dick about it.
Matt was the new guy on the job, and even though he was familiar with the file, it wasn't ready to go to trial. He wanted us to take 37 years, or set it for trial.
There were plenty of prosecutors who thought the same thing. (Hell, plenty of them still do!) But when they saw me approach with Raymond, they smiled at me, they offered a handshake, they occasionally glanced at me as they discussed the case with Ray, to make me feel like I was part of the conversation, and they said goodbye to me as I walked out. Some of the nicer ones asked for my card, even though they already had Raymond's, and even though they probably threw mine in the trash after I left.
Who gives a shit? What I appreciated about those men was that even though they took one look at me and knew I wasn't worth talking to, they were polite enough. I know that's stupid, but it mattered to me on a human level.
Plus, I'm not going to lie, there have been many times when prosecutors dismissing me off-hand worked in my favor, and more importantly, my client's favor. I rather enjoy being underestimated, especially when it helps my people.
But anyway, I wasn't happy about Matt. Part of that had nothing to do with him personally – I'm sure he was a decent guy. But he was a little too adamant that Morgan was the devil and belonged in jail for the rest of his life. I get real prickly real fast when prosecutors take that attitude with my guy. I mean, at least listen to our pitch, at least try to be a bit reasonable.
This take-my-deal-or-go-fuck-yourself attitude is bullshit.
Matt wanted us to take the 37. We stalled by ordering a Pre-Trial Investigative Report. But the Judge threw us a curveball that I forgot to mention last time: she let us do a PTI report, but only if we set it for trial at the same time.
Her reasoning was pretty good. Usually the PTI is ordered in anticipation of a 402 conference, which is done in anticipation of a plea deal. Oftentimes, when you 402 something, it pleads out and there's no trial. She wanted us to pick a trial date just in case things went sour, which was actually a wise move on her part. She was just covering all her bases, which made a lot of sense.
But having that trial date there, set for October 29, 2013, or whatever it was, didn't sit well with me. I had no shortage of confidence in Raymond; he's been a trial attorney for 40 years and is excellent at it. But again, I was a pretty new attorney. I'd been practicing for 5-6 months by the time we ordered the PTI. I was nervous about my first trial being a big attempt murder with a 40 count indictment or whatever it was. (I know what it was. I'm just playing real fast and loose with the details here.)
PTIs take some time, and we knew we'd get more than 6 weeks out of it. We knew (rather, Raymond knew, and told me) that we'd come back in 6 weeks, Probation would not be ready with the report, and we'd get another 4 weeks out of it. Then we'd come back, and Probation would have the report done, but it wouldn't be copied yet or whatever. Then we'd get another 4 weeks out of it, maybe, or at least 2.
So the trial date wasn't firm, because if the PTI wasn't ready by then it would obviously be kicked.
And that was what happened, basically. The PTI wasn't ready in time, so the trial couldn't go forward on October 29, even if we had intended to go to trial on it. So that date was stricken. The judge didn't give us too much of a hard time on that, but she did yell at Probation for not having it done, and told me I'd have to wait around until the afternoon to pick up the report if they had it done by then.
(I didn't end up doing that.)
So the October 29 trial was re-set by the judge until December 12 or something. Some Monday in December. Whatever. She was holding our feet to the fire and said we would be going to trial.
Well, okay.
Judges like to say that. But just like there's always a way to get more time during the course of a case, there's almost always a way to kick a trial date, especially if it's the first or second time it's been set. After that, you have to have a good reason, but whatever, shit happens. And whatever happens, we deal with it.
That's one of the best lessons I've learned as a criminal defense attorney: Whatever happens, you deal with it. There's no point in getting stressed and worked up and panicked about it. Who gives a shit? You just deal with it.
So anyway, we were "going to trial" on December 12. That meant that I had to be really really familiar with the file by that point, and it meant that we had to bring Morgan in for trial prep.
At this point, I was halfway familiar with the file, and still working through it. When I prep for trial, I like to have all the details in my head. I make lists and diagrams and flow charts and I can tell you at the drop of a hat which of the 17 officers involved in the investigation interviewed which witness.
And, of course, I had to have outlines prepared for the direct examination of our client, and cross-examinations of the ten cops or whatever, and the five complaining witnesses that were in the apartment at the time that Morgan and his friend allegedly burst in with their guns blazing.
So I kept plugging away at the file, guided by our senior paralegal, Nicole. Nicole has been with Raymond for many years and is so, so good at her job. She had no problem taking a trial-newbie like me in hand and showing me how to prepare a case for trial. So I worked with her on it, and I worked by myself, and I had a good handle on the forensics and the various statements and all that other stuff.
Except … there were barely any police reports. In the entire file.
This was worrying.
We mentioned it to Ray, and he nodded and then moved on to something else, so that made me feel better, because at least he knew that the file was suspiciously thin on random police reports about things like the chain of custody of Morgan's clothes, that sort of thing. And I knew that he had probably 8 different strategies cooking regarding that. In the 1.5 years since, I've worked with him on things like that, so you know, there's always a way to play it.
This lack of police reports, and how we resolved the issue, would become very important by the time we set it for trial for the FOURTH time. No, I'm not joking: the fourth trial setting.
Anyway, Morgan began making appointments to come in for trial prep. We worked with him very generally, focusing mostly on developing our theory of defense in a cohesive narrative. Like, we knew what our theory was, but we wanted it blocked out in a good story format.
Raymond has taught me never to script direct examinations. I mean, I still do: my direct exam outlines are easily 6 pages long at the bottom for a good felony case, single spaced, and I cover every possible question we could possibly want to ask. It's all scripted perfectly. But that's never how we do it at trial. It's kind of along the lines of bringing along everything but the kitchen sink, and then using what you need. I script the shit out of direct exams … and at trial we play it pretty loose. Half the outline won't get used, basically.
But the idea is to do it all, just in case something seems like it's really going to develop, or if we think we'll catch an edge by pursuing that line of questioning. And some of it is that we do these practice long-form direct examinations over and over in the office because it gets our client comfortable with the process. We tell them how to sit, how to answer, how to listen, and then we go through it. It's tiring, because it's long, but the benefit for the client is that by the time they've had 2-3 preps in the office with us, they're comfortable with the process.
Of course, they know that things will be different at trial, and even when we do dozens of mock-cross-exams they still get nervous about what the State may throw at them, but the preps make a big difference.
Just because we were prepping for trial, though, didn't mean that we dropped the ball on the negotiations.
Raymond and I had other cases in that same courtroom, before that same judge, so we had plenty of chances to get some face-time with Prosecutor Matt. One such meeting I recall vividly.
It was November. We had a little less than a month left before our trial. Ray winked at me and jerked his head toward the little Prosecutor room in the back corner of the courtroom where the cops hide out as they wait for trials to start that are scheduled that day.
"Let's have some fun with this boy," was all he said before he hopped to his feet and led the way. I followed, already uncapping my pen so I could take notes in case Matt blinked and gave something away.
Raymond was excited; this was going to be good.
I've told you guys a little about the theory of defense so far. I've titled this series of posts on it. I'll do a retelling of it from the State's point of view real quick so you're up to speed.
The way Matt saw this case was pretty straight-forward, and he explained that. Five friends were at an apartment, hanging out. Some were watching TV, some were hanging out in the bedroom, one was in the bathroom.
Out of nowhere, two men burst in, bandanas over their faces, guns drawn. The friends scatter, trying to find safety. The two people in the bedroom lock the door and put their weight against it. One intruder goes to the bedroom door and tries to kick it in. The other intruder grabs one of the girls, holds a gun to her head, and threatens to kill her if the others don't come out with their money. The girl is released and the intruder that had her now tries to kick in the bathroom door.
One of the men bursts out of the bathroom and scuffles with this intruder. Meanwhile the other intruder has broken into the bedroom and demands money from the two people in there. They give him their money, but it's barely $20. Frustrated, he makes them strip so he can be sure they're not hiding any more money. They are not.
Two shots are fired. The man in the living room, struggling with the first intruder, screams. A bullet comes through the wall into the bedroom and hits the man that was in the bedroom, who is now stripped down to his boxers.
This intruder in the bedroom leaves to go help the other one. The woman in the bedroom breaks through a window, in her underwear, to make a break to safety. The intruder that was in the bedroom before hears this noise and looks out the window in the other room. That's all the time it takes for the man that was in the bedroom to bum-rush him.
Shots are fired. The intruder that was in the bedroom has a bullet wound in his side. He starts to collapse, then makes a break for it and flees. The man that was in the bedroom, who has a gun recovered from the second intruder, sees the first one trying to get at the gun he's dropped. The man shoots the first intruder, who, due to his injuries, cannot move and stays in the apartment.
The second intruder has made it to the getaway car. He's losing consciousness and instructs the driver to get him to a hospital. Police arrive on the scene. Both intruders are rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Two of the residents – both men – have gunshot wounds. One in the arm, one in the butt. They're flesh wounds, and not serious. The woman who ran through the snow in her underwear to get away has frostbite on her toes. The first intruder is alive but probably won't walk ever again. The second intruder, who's gotten shot clear through the torso, almost dies but in about 6 weeks makes a full recovery which is nothing short of miraculous. He's indicted while he's in post-op recovery; armed police officers stand guard at his bedside, he's handcuffed to the bed, and the defense attorney (Raymond) has to get a court order just to be able to deliver his glasses to him.
So that's how it is from the State's perspective; that's what they would and did present in a factual basis to the Court. We disagreed with a lot of that, because the evidence (the discovery, really) just didn't bear it out. They couldn't prove half of that, based on the crime scene investigation and the forensic analysis on the guns and the bullets and bullet fragments. So it boiled down to he-said-she-said, and neither the State nor the Defense was willing to blink at the 37.
But we sure were willing to "have a little fun with that boy," like I said.
We walked into the prosecutor room and shut the door behind us. Matt was there, with two cops that he was prepping for a trial later that day. We didn't care if they were there or not, so they stayed and fiddled with their papers while they listened (and giggled).
Raymond explained that we had conveyed the offer, while we all waited for the PTI to come back, but we certainly couldn't recommend it, and our guy wasn't likely to take it. It was too high, and Matt needed to do something for us. Would he come off the Attempt First Degree Murder to something else? An Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm, perhaps? He had to admit that the Kidnapping charges were absolute bullshit – he had to concede that. So would he be willing to give us a reducer to the AggDischarge? A Home Invasion, maybe? Even with the firearm enhancement, we might be able to work with that.
Matt leaned against the lateral file cabinet and listened patiently during the whole presentation. I have to give him credit, he had a good poker face going on. When Raymond was done (in those days, I didn't speak at all on this case when we were negotiating, although that would definitely change later on) he blinked a few times and pushed himself away from the file cabinet with his shoulder.
"I can't do better than the 37."
We didn't blink, either. He waited for some sort of reaction, and, not receiving one, pulled out a cut file of loose papers and the 40-something count indictment.
"The 37 is the best I can do," he repeated, pulling out his calculations. "Even if we did 402 it, I'm not getting off the Attempt Murder. I won't get approval for that. And our office believes that the 37 is actually a good offer, based on what he's looking at if we try this."
I didn't have it in my head how much Morgan was looking at, at the top end. I had done the calculations, so I had a rough idea – it was a fuckton – but I didn't have the number in my head. For this discussion, it didn't particularly matter. It was just the State and the Defense posturing a bit, feeling each other out. We weren't seriously talking about numbers – yet.
(I mean, it's not like it had been set for trial or anything. Oops, yes, it had.)
"He's got the two attempt murders," Matt was saying, running his finger down a column of charges. "That's with the gun enhancements. And the kidnappings, and home invasions, all with gun enhancement. Agg unlawful restraint, agg unlawful discharge… No matter what count off the top we proceed on, even if we 402'd it, once she hears the factual basis, she's not going to give him less than 42 in any case. She's going to give him much higher, actually. And if we go to trial, they're mandatory consecutives and she cannot give him less than 42, based on the statute."
When he said 'a count off the top,' Matt was referring to the six or so most serious charges – all of the class X felonies, for which probation is not available and the minimum is 6 years in prison.
When he said "402," Matt was referring to a conference between the State and the Defense and the Judge where each side presents its case (aggravation, in the form of a factual basis read from police reports, and mitigation, in the form of all the good things about the defendant that the Defense believes should factor into a sentencing decision). The Judge then says what sentence he or she would give if the Defendant pleaded guilty. Both the State and the Defense had to agree to a 402; here, Matt wasn't willing to, so we couldn't do it in any case.
When he referred to the 'mandatory consecutives,' what Matt meant was referring to Illinois law that states that certain crimes, in certain conditions, have sentences that must be served consecutively. So a defendant could catch a 3 year sentence and a 4 year sentence, to be served CONCURRENTLY, and would serve a total of 4 years, because the 3 and 4 would run together. But if a defendant catches a 3 and 4 spot that run CONSECUTIVELY, he's spending 7 years in prison.
So Matt was saying that the State would likely proceed on the Class X's at trial, all of which were mandatory consecutives, and all of which carried a minimum of 6 years, so if the State won on all of them, Morgan would catch 6×7=42. And that's not including if the State added any of the other 35 counts in the Indictment and won on them.
He was saying this to scare us. It didn't work. At that point, I was (and probably still am, a little) too stupid to be easily scared. Raymond, on the other side of the coin, was too smart to be scared.
Thank God I'm not lead counsel, basically, is what I'm saying.
He'd also said something about what the Judge "would" do. We generally take that with a grain of salt. Matt had been with this Judge for two months, tops. He didn't know what she did or didn't do yet. Everyone was still playing catch up, so his 'advice' really wasn't worth much. Now, if this was a prosecutor we had a long-standing relationship with, one who had been with the Judge for a long time, then we'd take him more seriously. That would occur the following year, but it sure wasn't the case right now.
Matt then began talking about what Morgan would be looking at if the State proceeded on and won the lesser charges at trial. Spoiler alert: the outlook was not good.
"Yeah, yeah, I know all that," Raymond interrupted him. "He's going away for a long time, gotcha. You've really impressed me with all of that."
I love when he gets gruff and sarcastic with younger prosecutors. At this point, the cops are obviously eavesdropping, not even trying to hide the fact that they're following along.
"But all of that is if you win at trial. On anything."
Defense attorney euphoria is a beautiful thing, guys. Honestly, I sometimes think it's our best weapon: we psych ourselves up about a case, and good luck getting us down off that high.
Ray was far from finished. "That's if your witnesses show up, you know, if they still give a shit."
Our investigators had already uncovered that the two men who were injured in the gunfight, the complaining witnesses, were, um, involved in certain aspects of street life and were not interested in pursuing this matter, cooperating with law enforcement, and/or testifying. Two of the three ladies had indicated they weren't interested, either, because one just wanted to move on with her life and the other had found Jesus, who told her to forgive and forget.
"That's if I don't fuck 'em up on cross. That's if the jury doesn't see through the fact that you wayyy overcharged this case. That's if the jury doesn't see through the fact that the way your cops investigated this matter was sloppy. Those are all big Ifs, my friend."
Matt didn't blink. The cops looked kind of bored as they played with their phones.
Raymond waited a few beats, until just before it looked like Matt was about to open his mouth. Then he shifted his weight on his feet, leaning almost imperceptibly closer to me in a watch-watch-this-is-going-to-be-great sign.
"You know my guy shot himself, right?"
Matt's jaw slackened. He stared. The cops looked up at their phone and stared, first at Raymond and then at me. I smiled back pleasantly.
This was something that we had discovered in our office, the three of us, a while ago. Once we'd gotten the medical records in, our senior paralegal had pored over them. She would then give me packets to read, to bring me up on the important parts, and then she did the same with Raymond.
There were bankers boxes full of medical records from the various hospitals that Morgan went to (and was even air-lifted to) during the intake, ER, surgery, post-op, and treatment stages. And the reports showed that, based on the location of the entry wound, the location of the exit wound, and the size of the wounds, there was no way that he had been shot from a distance. He had been shot from very close, a matter of an inch or two.
Which didn't match the complaining witness's story that he had been the one to shoot Morgan.
This was one of the cops, unable to help himself. The other cop was barely holding in his laughter. It made me grit my teeth that they were laughing at something that almost cost Morgan his life, and I know Ray hated it, but that's the environment that you adapt to when you have to.
"Yeah," Raymond replied. "He shot himself."
That moment was a pretty great one. It's not rare that we get to surprise everyone in the room, and this was a nice little win. Plus, it clued us in to the fact that Matt hadn't read the medical reports much, if at all. Little tidbits of information like that are important, and are filed away until we can find a way to use them to our advantage. The following year, as I prepared the file for trial, I would assemble a packet of medical reports that I wanted the prosecutor to stipulate to, so they'd be read to the jury, and could go back to the jury room with them. Those medical reports became very, very important.
Raymond illustrated the theory of defense, which we believe was borne out by the discovery. Morgan had been invited in, and hadn't barged in, but that was beside the point for the immediate discussion. He had been wearing his gun on his hip, like a total newb.
Raymond had his fingers in a gun shape, poised at his left hip bone. (Morgan is left-handed.) "Everyone knows you don't tuck the gun into your waistband right here," he was saying as the cops shook their heads and basically giggled. "You snag it on your hip bones when you pull it out!"
I have no clue about guns, and only saw one once at trial when the State left it out on a cart in the middle of the room before trial, but you can bet we shut that shit down REAL quick and made them put it in the back room, out of sight until they intended to introduce it.
But Raymond's a military man (Navy), so he certainly knows more than enough for the both of us about it. The cops seemed to enjoy his gun talk as it developed further.
Matt wasn't looking all that pleased, and hadn't said much since Raymond had explained that Morgan shot himself, where the gun was, and what the surgical notes and various medical reports said.
Raymond smiled almost gently. It was a smile he reserved for State's Attorneys when he was making a point.
"Think about your offer again a little more," he said softly, wrinkling his nose. "Talk to your boss. Maybe we can continue this conversation."
He stepped back and held open the door that led out to the courtroom. I beamed at Matt – it always seems to annoy and/or bewilder the ASAs when I did that – and stepped out, with Raymond right behind me.
He elbowed me as we walked down the hallway. I grinned and said what had been written on his face since we left Matt alone in the back room.
"Fuck them."

1. The players have to realize that yes, they are entitled to a piece of the pie, there is only so much pie to go around. And I agree with Peter King from S.I.: The NHLPA would have a salary cap of 42.5 million, which is around half of the NFL, for less that half the players ( say around 25 on the NHL roster). That would average 1.7 million a player. That is around $100,000 more than the NFL average ( 85 million for 53 players.) Granted the NFL TV contract and other business outlets help the NFL owners out, player wise you never hear any player really *****ing and complaining. I wise the NHLPA would realize that this could be the best deal they will get for a long time. Take it now.
2. Now the owners. I don't understand why the owners cannot budge off the 42.5 salary cap offer, even for a couple of million more. As far as I know they is no minimal limit as to how much you can spend with this offer. So, if you don't want to spend 42.5 million, then don't. But don't start complaining when the fans do not come to the games when you put out a product worthy of the minor leagues. The owners act like littles kids complaining to their parents at the toy store. "Mommy, Billy has that, I want one too!" Start acting like adults.
I just hope that this gets settled , because the longer out of sight, the longer out of mind.]]>

Deanna Zuleger Scantlin's family talked with Newschannel 7 Tuesday. They say finding Deanna's body helps bring closure to the family, but they don't believe Dale Robinson's story that Deanna's death was an accident.
"This fabrication that he [Robinson] has brought up here is strictly a fictional type of story and has nothing to do with the truth," Deanna's dad, Werner Zuleger, said.
Deanna's family says they don't believe she would have willingly gone with Robinson to have drinks at the Eau Claire Dells.
Her family says once all the facts are known, there is no doubt in their minds that Robinson will be charged with her murder.
"Justice does need to be served and once all the facts are presented and all the evidence, there is no doubt that he [Robinson] will be convicted of murder" Werner Zuleger said.
For now, the Zulegers are leaning on each other to get through this difficult time and trying to move on.
Once the state crime lab can positively identify the body found is Deanna's, her family will then prepare funeral arrangements.

Inside the Statehouse: 1962 governor's race really began four years earlier
By Steve Flowers The 1962 governor's race really began in 1958. The governor's office and the race for it was the big show in Alabama politics in that era.

Major shareholder in Seibu to oppose Cerberus' bid to boost stake-NIKKEI
April 3
April 3 (Reuters) - A major shareholder in Japan's Seibu Holdings Inc has supported the company's stand against allowing private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP increase its stake in the railway and real estate group, the Nikkei daily said.
Cerberus is trying, through a tender offer, to boost its stake in Seibu by four percentage points to 36.44 percent, the level at which it could veto major board decisions.
Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is believed to own less than 1 percent of Seibu, but he also owns about 36 percent of NW Corp, whose interest of just under 15 percent makes it Seibu's second-largest shareholder, the newspaper said.
Quoting Seibu, the daily said Tsutsumi would not agree to Cerberus's tender offer and had contacted Seibu to convey his stance. Tsutsumi has potentially made it harder for Cerberus to get its hands on the Seibu shares held by NW, it added.
The move comes as Seibu, which also operates hotels and department stores, is planning to go public again in a multi-billion dollar stock market listing originally planned for 2012.
The tender offer from Cerberus runs to April 23.

With MLB Draft taking place tomorrow, all sights are set on a bunch of kids expected to change the forecast of every major league franchise. No pressure, kids, no pressure. The Diamondbacks have the 16th overall pick and in the first draft primer released two weeks ago, I identified some potential targets. Rather, I should say, I collected a smattering of expert opinions of who the D-backs would likely target. A few things have changed since that time and it's appropriate to get one last look at where things stand.
Zach Buchanan of AZ Central sat down with the Diamondbacks' brass to discuss draft strategy. Kevin Towers made it clear that the team would pursue the best player available in the draft when their turn comes up, but identified what we already knew: the team is in need of pitching and corner outfielders. Luckily for the Diamondbacks, there are a couple of strong candidates at each position for the team to consider. While we don't often give our opinions at this site, I'm going to list five guys for the Diamondbacks in the order that I have them ranked.
1) Grant Holmes, RHP, South Carolina HS
I'm a big fan of Holmes, but he may not make it to the 16th pick. Projected as more of a number three type, he's the rare breed of high schooler who really knows how to pitch. Jim Callis of mlb.com, says he's the third best high school pitcher in the draft behind the highly coveted Brady Aiken and Tyler Kolek, both of whom should get popped in the top five. He's a fierce competitor and not just a "thrower." His stuff is excellent, topping out in the mid-90's with both a good curve and change. He's not as projectable as the others above him given that he's just 6'1" and has already filled out his frame, but he could move quickly for a high schooler and be a solid mid-rotation arm for a long, long time. With front-end arms like Bradley and Shipley already in the system, the D-backs shouldn't hesitate to draft a guy who's projected as an excellent number three.
2) Bradley Zimmer, OF, University of San Francisco
In a draft that light on bats, Zimmer stands out. As Jason Parks of Baseball Prospectus recently stated, Zimmer has the best hit tool of any college outfielder. This draft is lacking guys with the natural bat-to-ball abilities that Parks and others covet, but Bradley Zimmer is the rare 2014 draft prospect that has the ability to make excellent, consistent contact. At the highest level, Parks notes that the hit tool is what makes a hitter excel and keep his big league job. Zimmer's tool in question is the power, although he is highly projectable at a wiry 6'5" and 205-pounds. There's a lot of room to add strength to the frame and he already runs and throws well. He's a prototypical right-fielder in that regard, with the power to come down the road. Zimmer has a chance to be a .300 hitter due to a fluid, artful swing. He may or may not be available when the Diamondbacks get to make a selecetion as he's projected to go anywhere from 12th – 18th.
3) Jeff Hoffman, RHP, East Carolina University
Jeff Hoffman was cruising along this spring and was considered by many to have a shot to be the first overall selection in the draft before he, like seemingly every pitcher before him, tore his UCL and had Tommy John surgery. This can viewed in two ways: he's either a) injury prone or, b) he's already had the perquisite elbow surgery and is unlikely to need it again. Hoffman has a smooth, easy delivery and the injury seemingly had little to do with his mechanics. He was routinely sitting in the mid 90's and was able to touch higher before he was shut down. With a slider and change that he has the ability to command, he's advanced for a draft-eligible pitcher. Hoffman has a projectable frame at a lanky 6'4" and should fill out, adding strength and an ability to keep his velocity. His development will be delayed by a year by coming off the injury, but he was advanced to begin with, so that shouldn't be a huge concern. This is the rare opportunity for the Diamondbacks to select a front of the rotation arm with their mid round pick, but it does come with some risk.
4) Brandon Finnegan, LHP, Texas Christian University
In my mind, there's a pretty big drop off to Finnegan, the fourth player on my list. Finnegan is a small-in-stature lefty with plus-plus velocity. There's always some concern when a small guy generates this kind of velo, but Finnegan has a relatively smooth delivery. With that said, he's had shoulder troubles this year and teams have to be concerned about his present and future health. At this stage, Finnegan has a decent slider, but really hasn't learned to use his changeup, keeping his profile more as a thrower than as a pitcher. He's going to have work to do if he is to remain the starting rotation and many scouts and analysts have remarked that they project him to end up in the bullpen long term. I'm not a big fan of Arizona selecting a guy with this kind of risk with their first pick, but if they think they can make him a starter, then it could pay dividends. This really all comes down to their confidence to develop Finnegan, but given their track record with failing to make it work with Bauer and Skaggs, this seems a little uncertain.
5) Michael Chavis, 3B, Georgia HS
If Zimmer is off the board, the Diamondbacks could look at one of the top prep bats in Chavis. He showcases a simple swing with excellent mechanics that should generate plus power. Scouts have commented on his quick wrists, which allow him to make lots of contact and allow the ball to travel before having to swing. He's a kid with true impact potential, but some have wondered whether that will be at third base or eventually in right field. He has the arm to play the outfield and seeming the athleticism, while his instincts and reactions at the hot corner may not develop to a major league level. This should be of no concern to the Diamondbacks as they'd likely benefit more from a position change to right or left. There will be some work to do with Chavis either way, but he's a guy that could be the sort of impact player that the D-backs need down the road.
Other Names We're Hearing
Kyler Schwarber, C/1B, Indiana University
A lot of analysts have mocked Schwarber to the Diamondbacks and he has the most raw power in the draft. With that said, there's seemingly little chance he sticks behind the plate and Kiley McDaniel of scout.com has stated that he doesn't think Schwarber even has the athleticism to play left field. Usually I wouldn't be concerned about a draft prospect being blocked at the major league level, but there's no chance Goldy is leaving and that might leave the team with nowhere to play Schwarber. I'd rather see them grab someone more athletic, but this guy is clearly a possibility.
Luis Ortiz, RHP, California HS
If the D-backs are looking to go under-slot and save money for later parts of the draft, Ortiz could be their guy. He's a complete pitcher who has a feel for the craft well above what one would expect for someone his age. The knock would be projectability as he's already filled out his 6'3" 220-pound frame. He doesn't have overwhelming raw stuff, but it's still very good for his age. He projects as a mid-rotation arm down the road.
Kodi Medieros, LHP, Hawaii HS
The smooth lefty falls into the same category as Ortiz in that he may be available below-slot. He throws from a low three-quarters arm slot with excellent sink and fade on his fastball. He's touched the mid 90's with the heater, but has a nasty slider that can play well right now. The change is a ways off at present, but with the feel that Medieros shows for his other pitches, there's a strong likelihood that it becomes at least average. At 6'0" 180-pounds, there's some projection left, but not a ton.
More than anything, the Diamondbacks need to add impact on draft day. They can do that by nabbing a guy like Holmes, Zimmer, Hoffman or Chavis, or they can play the strategy game and try to go under-slot on Ortiz or Medieros, saving cash for later picks in the draft. You can follow the draft live online at the MLB.com Draft Homepage, with the Draft Tracker available on draft days. I'll be breaking down their top selections a week from now, so stay tuned.
4 Responses to D-backs 2014 Draft Primer v.2.0
Paulnh says:
I would like to see us take Jeff Hoffman if he is still available. With the 16th pick, there are no guaranteed major leaguers, so I want the guy with the highest upside. Tommy John surgery typically doesn't effect guys long term, so I would certainly be willing to trade up a year of development for his upside potential.
P.S. If we take a defense first middle infielder in the first round I am going to smash whatever device I see it on.
Jeff Wiser says:
I obviously like the idea of taking Hoffman, too. Given the fact that so many guys are having TJ at some point, perhaps he's already gotten it out of the way. Then again, Daniel Hudson, so…
It's not as if Hoffman was the perfect player prior to the injury. He did struggle with his command at times and he's still refining his repertoire, so it's not as if he would recover, then shoot up the system. With that in mind, I do agree with you that he may be the best chance to make a solid impact on the future of the organization in the middle of the first round.
I think we're relatively safe on the MI concern. Shouldn't be a guy in that range available right there. The top guy or two will be gone by then, others aren't really slotted that high.
Seth Juneac says:
Your thoughts on Max Pentecost from Kennesaw State? With Thrahan moved to outfield, the farm seems like it has no answer beyond Miggy.
Jeff Wiser says:
I got a chance to see Max a bit last weekend and I like him a lot. I just don't think there's any chance he slips to #16 when the D-backs select. Most mocks have him going top 10.

Teyana Taylor - Maybe
Artist: Teyana Taylor
Producer: The Order Music
Album: VII
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 15 votes )
Update: We have added the visuals for Teyana's Maybe single.
In a sense, the wishy-washy title of Teyana Taylor's new single is appropriate, since the G.O.O.D. Music signee (or her people) indecisively sat on the record for a month before deigning to officially release it. Now that Maybe has finally been released, though, fans should have little trouble deciding how they feel about it. Produced by The Order Music, this Complex-premiered jam finds the artist pondering what might lie behind her sudden obsession with a certain man. Labelmate Pusha T and Southern phenom Yo Gotti deliver guest bars. Like what you're hearing? Then keep it locked for the latest on Taylor's debut full-length, slated to drop via Island Def Jam later this year.

July 7, 2014
Brandie Harris, 29, is a mother of two living in Palmyra, but in August of 2013 her aunt, Crystal Trent, was shot and killed by her boyfriend, who also turned a gun on himself.
Harris then took on a great task of taking care of Trent's four children, who are all now living in her house.
"My life got turned upside down, going from two kids to six overnight," says Harris. "Not being able to do the things I wanted to do, but it's about them now, not me."
"So I just gotta do what's best for them."
The children range from four to 14 years old and Harris says there's just not enough space in her three bedroom house for all of them.
"Everybody is just crammed right now, there's no privacy at all, no leeway and it's just one level so everybody is just always into each other," says Harris.
She wants to build extra rooms onto the house for the kids, but she needs help, so she started a fundraiser, hoping to raise $40,000 for renovations.
Since taking in her aunt's children, her finances have also suffered.
"I've had to stop working, I've cut back from full time in school to part time, to now not even going for the summer, because it's just too much to take six kids somewhere," Harris explains. "It's hard, I can't even lie it's hard."
Friends and family have come to her aid and are also spreading the word about the fundraiser.
"Going from two kids to six kids overnight is drastic and Brandie is not the type to ask for help," says Jessica Henson, girlfriend of Harris' brother. "She tries to be strong and she wants to do everything on her own, but in a case like this, you need help."
Harris loves the children as her own and says that she's grateful to be able to take care of them, but is still saddened by the way they came into her care.
"They don't see my emotion behind this; I hide it from the kids," says Harris. "It's very hard at times and very emotional, but I have to put the kids first."

November 29, 2014
For three days people were on edge after a federal inmate escaped in Woodford County.
Tuesday night, the city of Versailles honored two men who helped police track down the fugitive. The two found escapee Derek Capozzi Saturday afternoon hiding in a wooded area
Versailles Mayor Fred Siegelman says Versailles is a safer city thanks to Alfred Marmolejo and Phillip Bryant. The two men say they were after a $100,000 reward they thought the U.S. Marshalls were offering. That turned out not to be the case, but what Marmolejo and Bryant did receive was the thanks of a grateful community and the key to the city. "We didn't get any money, but the people of Versailles have been so appreciative, so far, and that's worth everything, really," Marmolejo said.
It all began and it all ended by a tree line off Kentucky Avenue when Phillip Bryant and Alfred Marmolejo spotted Derek Capozzi hiding in the woods.
Mayor Siegelman says because the two immediately called 911 and stayed to watch Capozzi, the authorities were able to bring the manhunt to an end.
The city of Versailles isn't alone in it's gratitude. After the ceremony 27 Newsfirst spoke with the family of murder victim Aislin Silva. In 2005 a jury convicted Derek Capozzi of dismembering and hiding her body. Silva's father tells 27 Newsfirst he plans to call the men to personally thank them for helping put Capozzi back behind bars.

Lent is a solemn time, but it is not meant to be a miserable one...We may keep before and one 01 the most comforting and encouraging sayings of Jesus: 7 came that they might have life and have it none abundantly.' From the author's preface. This daily companion will take us through Lent using as our guide the biblical images of Journeys, Mountains, Light, Food and Healing to help us think about the life of faith as we pass through the world. In Holy Week, each of these themes is explored in the experience of Jesus as Good Friday approaches. Forty daily devotions each begin with a passage from the Bible, followed by commentary, a meditation to link the scriptures to our own lives, questions for reflection, a selection of prayers and short readings, and a 'thought for the day' to give sustenance and strength. Encouraging, challenging, but above all reassuring, Days of Grace will help us discover Lent as a time of spiritual progress and growth.
Raymond Chapman is the author of many widely-used books of prayer and devotion including Leading Intercessions, Hear Our Prayer, and A Pastoral Prayer Book. He was a Vice-Chairman of the Prayer Book Society, Emeritus Professor of English Literature in the University of London, and a greatly loved priest in the diocese of Southwark. He died in 2013.

Our History
Michigan Nurses For Life began independently in the hearts of two nurses in the Metro Detroit area in the fall of 1995. One was a LPN; the other was a RN.
Both called the Educational Center For Life in Oakland County to see if there was such a group already in existence. Both were aware there was a National Association of Prolife Nurses, but wanted to be involved in something local. The answer was "no", but they were given each other's phone number.
After that meeting and a great deal of work, which included developing the purpose, structure, marketing plan, and activities for the organization, MNFL emerged as a vibrant organization.
After a number of phone conversations, the two planned to meet one rainy fall evening in 1995, at a local restaurant. Another nurse, who was a member of a local prolife nursing group that dissolved in the late 1980's, joined them.
Michigan Nurses For Life has now grown to a membership of over 200 health care professionals. Each year an Educational Conference is held and Contact Hours are offered. A great deal has been accomplished, but there is so much more to be done!

Dear Colleague,
Here is something new to
Much of medicine today seems
to be broken down into a series of letters,
each representing a disease, treatment, test
or prognosis. We have CBCs, CHF, COPD, PRN,
HCG, and on and on.
One of the newest set of
letters we now encounter is POLST. The letters
themselves stand for Physician Orders for
Life-Sustaining Treatment. That sounds
beneficial, but a closer examination of the
letters shows an unexpected explanation.
A POLST is document filled
with the responses to a series of questions
regarding treatment. The questions are
generally asked of a patient by a
"facilitator" about their treatment wishes.
The patient's signature or that of a witness
After the questions are
asked and recorded, the document is presented
to a physician or other designated health care
professional for his/her signature. This is
not necessarily the patient's own physician,
or any health care professional known to the
patient. The document is then placed in the
patient's record, frequently as the first
document seen when the record is accessed. The
POLST follows the patient to an extended care
facility and even to his/her own home where
emergency medical technicians must follow the
Many POLST questions subtly
slant toward non-treatment and refusal of
life-sustaining treatment. Filling out a POLST
document may render the agent a person names
as his/her Durable Power of Attorney for
Health Care powerless.
The dangers inherent in the
POLST are clear. If the patient does not sign
the document there is no way to know for sure
that the information given is what the patient
wants. The issue of informed consent becomes
quite "fuzzy" if the patient does not sign
that he/she had really been informed. Patients
are frequently asked to answer questions about
health care when seriously ill and vulnerable.
If the document is attached to the patient's
records and he or she recovers from the
initial illness, it remains in effect until
voided. The next health care episode may have
a whole different set of needs or the patient
may have changed his/her mind about the
original answers and yet the original answers
stay in effect.
A POLST is not about
ensuring that a patient's medical wishes
are honored.
A POLST is not needed
for treatment to be provided.
A POLST is presented at
a very vulnerable time and little time is
provided for thoughtful consideration.
This hardly constitutes informed consent
A prudent course of action
is to be sure that a person executes a Durable
Power of Attorney for Health Care, name an
agent to implement the DOAHC if he/she cannot
and to decline to answer questions or fill out
a POLST.
For more information on end
of life issues, please visit
Love Life!

I have an AHS Guinness Drought clone I purchased about a year ago. I pretty much forgot about it and never got to brewing it. I was hoping to brew it today, but I can't find the instructions sheet it came with. Maybe someone who has brewed this beer kit before could help out. The one thing I'm not sure of is when to put the hops in and how much (how much for bittering? for flavor?), but I believe the grain steeping is like 15 min at 155 F and the boil is 60 min.
The kit comes with.
5lb liquid Amber Extract
2oz kent golding hops
Muntons Premium Gold Ale Dry Yeast
.5 lb Base Grains, 1.63 lb Specialty Grains
Not sure but the hops probabily all go in at 60 min but i am not sure. Mabye 1 1/2 at 60 and 1/2 at 10?
Back Nine Brew&Wine
Life don't get better than a beer and a pepper.
What I am brewing is now a mystery
Just email AHS. They will be more than happy to help. You can also use beer smith or a similar program to dial in your own schedule.
With that all about a year old, unless it was stored properly, it probably won't come out nearly as you expect. For one thing, if the hops weren't in the freezer, they've faded to a pale shadow of their former selves. If the grain was milled, and not vacuum packed/sealed, and kept cool, it's probably stale (test it). Not sure about the LME, but I think you're pushing the shelf life there too.
I would mention it to AHS to see what they recommend. Either brew it, taking what you get, or get fresh ingredients where you need to and brew it.
Since AHS usually vacuum seals the hops and grain, you're probably okay. Not sure about the LME since they're usually sent in taped jars. Yeast may depend on expiration date, but it may still be okay depending on how it was stored. Perhaps make a starter first to be safe?
