The issue hasn’t stayed at a district level, however, as a determined group of borough residents continues to voice their concerns at both borough and city-level public meetings,…

Posted on by Karina

The fee would dwarf records for attorney paydays if a judge approves it. Lawyers who worked on Enron-related class actions were awarded $688 million in fees in 2008. The lawyers had earlier convinced the Delaware chancery court to revoke Musk’s $56 billion pay package from 2018, with the judge ruling that Tesla’s board of directors failed to prove it was fair to shareholders.

James Crumbley reveals how he’s paying for lawyer in Oxford case

Posted on by Karina
On the eve of trial, it does not appear that James Crumbley’s declaration of being broke was going to help him at all — at least in terms of getting him a free copy of his wife’s trial transcript — which could help him avoid pitfalls. Crumbley, whose trial began Tuesday over his alleged role in the 2021 Oxford High School shooting carried out by his son, declared in an affidavit last week that he was indigent, and could not afford to pay for the transcript of his wife’s nine-day trial, which ended on Feb. 6 with her conviction.
