We all connect to stories, especially ones that involve good vs. evil.... and that remind us of our shared histories.We especially want the good-often the underdog-to beat the bad.
The battle that often rages in civil court is the money-seeking unworthy plaintiff motif... against the uncaring defendants who will not admit the wrong they have caused.
And Without a good story... Jurors have nothing to grasp hold of. And as our special guest today... we are honored to visit with Robert Kahlke, Ptr @ Robert Pahlke Law Group & Past President of Nebraska Association of Trial Attorneys ...to discuss some of his cases and how he has successfully used these proven 10 Trial Rules in the courtroom.

“The Verdict’s in on Murder One – Robert Dugoni has written another first-class legal thriller”….. Linda Fairstein“Stunning twists….A helluva ride from a master of courtroom suspense” – Lisa Gardner Robert Dugoni delivers another gripping legal thriller in his popular David Sloane series. The case? Defending the woman he loves against a charge of murder.Dugoni's non-fiction expose, The Cyanide Canary, published in 2004, chronicled the investigation, prosecution, and aftermath surrounding an environmental crime in Soda Springs, Idaho. It became a Washington Post Best Book of the year, and the Idaho Book of the Year.
His debut novel, The Jury Master became a New York Times bestseller. Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine chose it as one of three "Best of the Best" debut novels of 2006. The Seattle Times and Library Journal have likened Dugoni to a young John Grisham, calling The Jury Master, "A riveting tale of murder, skullduggery and treachery at the highest level."
Dugoni's second novel, Damage Control, reached number 8 on several national independent bookseller's lists. Publisher's Weekly and Library Journal called Damage Control "a page turner" with "a fast moving plot and a few twists that will surprise even seasoned thriller readers."
Wrongful Death, Dugoni's recently released sequel to The Jury Master has also received critical acclaim. Mysterious Reviews touted Wrongful Death as "among the best books to be published this year." Kirkus called it, "An entertaining thriller about a hotshot lawyer with good guys to like, villains to hiss, and windmills to attack."

April 24th
He was Medevacd by helicopter to an emergency hospital and despite 17 attempts of resuscitation; he was pronounced DOA at the hospital.He died ….Because his Day Care Supervisors “didn’t do their jobs”… They failed to “Supervise the children at their Day Care Center”.When they were asked….. How this could have happened???FIRST they blamed …the local “Volunteer” Fire Dept” for 1) Not Getting to the center fast enough….. and THEN 2) they blamed them for Not resuscitating him correctly….When those excuses didn’t work…they Next put the blame on poor little Carl himself… Sure…..for burying his own head in the sand…and suffocating himself.So who was really responsible for this tragic death of this innocent child?Not us said the Day Care Center…. Not I said each of the Day Care Center workers…….
And Certainly not us… said their lawyers…They simply believed, and saw this incident, as a tragic accident and nothing more … According to them…there was NO negligence whatsoever in properly supervising the children on the playground, And they were sure that each one of them would come across to a jury as caring ….and professional childcare workers. But that was before Carl’s parents, Josh & Anne Anderson retained Mike Sawaya and Dale Pugh of the Sawaya Law Firm
In this special INSIDER EXCLUSIVE Investigation, we go behind the headlines to investigate “DAY CARE CENTER ALERT – The Carl Anderson Story” AND how Mike Sawaya and Dale Pugh, Partners at Sawaya Law firm, took a case NO OTHER LAWYER would touch And got Justice for Carl and his parents with a Record Breaking Settlement by simply showing that daycare workers are being paid to ensure the safety of the children in their charge. And that they failed to do that by their conscious inattention to what the children were doing AND ALSO FAILED to recognize that the hole in the sandbox was a potential problem.

On New Years Day, 2009.... at approximately 2 am in the early morning..... Twenty-two year old, unarmed Oscar Grant was fatally shot in the back by former BART Police Officer Johannes Mehserle, at the Fruitvale BART Station in Oakland California. Mehserle shot the unarmed Grant with his gun, a SIG Sauer P226, directly into Grant's back, while he lay on his stomach.... and while BART Officer, Tony Pirone, forcibly held him down by knelling on Grant's neck. The .40 caliber bullet from Mehserle's semi-automatic handgun entered Grant's back, exited through his front side and ricocheted off the concrete platform, puncturing Grant's lung.
In essence....Mehserle "executed" Oscar Grant.
According to one witness, Oscar yelled, "You shot me! I got a four-year-old daughter!" Oscar died seven hours later, at 9:13 am, at in Oakland.

Police brutality is one of the most serious, enduring, and divisive human rights violations in the United States.

On March 23, 2007, Francisco Garcia was working at the Archer Daniels Midland plant – Decatur, Illinois and was killed on the job dying a horrible death when the pressure seals on a mechanical re-compression evaporator failed and sprayed him with scalding liquid materials.Francisco received third degree burns over 90% of his body and died an excruciating death….from his wounds…. late the next day.Francisco’s injuries were so horribly painful, that his skin was peeling off his face and body.He was unable to retain his body fluids and so tremendous amounts of fluids had to be pumped into him. Surgery was performed on him but when they opened his belly…. his intestines were black and necrotic so he was closed up and several hours later he died. ADM readily ADMITTED to liability… but only offered to pay his family $500,000 !BUT That was CLEARLY a Pittance for a man,…. like Francisco, who was in the prime of his life….And the Main Bread Winner supporting his parents and 5 brothers and sisters in Mexico.. Since ADM had already admitted liability, the ONLY Legal issue to be decided in the courts now…. was compensatory damage… Or In other words….. What was the True Value of Francisco’s Life to his family, not as ADM lowballed it, but the real true value as seen through the eyes of a jury?
ADM’s lawyers tried unsuccessfully to diminish the value of Francisco’s life by unsuccessfully trying to introduce the fact that Francisco was an “illegal immigrant”…And yet they knew that the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment provides for… Equal Protection under the Law for all people (it says "People", not just "Citizens") within the jurisdiction of the United States. The ADM Lawyer…· Even suggested that a verdict of only a few hundred thousand dollars would be plenty for “this” family …..as he pointed to Mr. and Mrs. Garcia, in the courtroom The implication was clearly “this poor Mexican” family. And ADM’s lawyer even tried to tried to avoid all damages by arguing that Francisco’s parents and siblings were not his next of kin.
In this Insider Exclusive Special, “ Holding Corporate America Accountable – The Archer Daniels Midland Story” …… We bring you the Inside Story, direct from the courtroom on How the Garcia’s family lawyer, Don Shapiro , Founder & Partner @ the law firm of Don Shapiro Ltd , got Justice for Francisco’s family with a Record Breaking Verdict in excess of $6.7 Million dollars… By successfully turning ADM’s mean spirited argument completely around and arguing that in America, every family, including Francisco Garcia’s family should be treated the same way as any other family…..And the same way they would if the victim had been the son of an ADM executive. You see in America… The 14th Amendment really provides for Equal Protection Under the Law for all people (it says "People", not just "Citizens") within the jurisdiction of the United States.
So, yes…. Illegal immigrants in the U.S. …..ARE entitled to the same rights and protections as citizens. And they have the right to recover under the law and sue individuals in the Courts of the United States – especially for injury related claims. Don Shapiro has earned the highest respect from citizens and lawyers alike…. as one of the best people’s trial lawyers in Illinois …..And in the nation. We hope you'll tune in to “ Holding Corporate America Accountable – The Archer Daniels Midland Story” this August and join us on our TV website to watch it again.
