-=VAHE=- Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Stuff like that you really cant blame people those kids were dumb and stupid. That stupid Mexican kid wasnt a heroe and never will be. I mean yes they did take a life that they should be punished for but life isnt the right solution. Also I know of many of the people Geragos is protecting for murder which you have to understand not all are guilty of. That crap you read in the news-press is nothing but that. Takes this from a person who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aratta-Kingdom Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Attorney Geragos draws a crowd By MICHAEL HINKELMAN One legal journal calls him one of the country's "marquee" lawyers. And Los Angeles attorney Mark Geragos has the client list to back up the lofty description. He's defended pop star Michael Jackson, Academy Award-winning actress Winona Ryder, ex-California Congressman Gary Condit and convicted wife-killer Scott Peterson. Just last week, a federal judge in California removed him from the case of a defense contractor charged with fraud because he refused to submit to a background check that would have allowed him to see classified information. Now, Geragos is in federal court here, defending a man who is charged with traveling overseas to have sex with young boys. During the trial's opening yesterday, the courtroom was packed with spectators. Most of them - some aspiring lawyers - were there to see Geragos. One of Geragos' first major cases, in 1992, was defending Susan McDougal, a former business partner of Bill Clinton in the Whitewater land deal. He won back-to-back state and federal-court jury-trial acquittals for McDougal after she had been convicted and imprisoned before Geragos represented her. Geragos, 49, a lanky man with a taste for fine clothes, is no stranger to Philadelphia. He is a graduate of Haverford College. He was also one of the lead lawyers in a pair of federal class-action lawsuits against two life-insurance companies for not paying out on policies issued to Armenians that had been written before and during the purported genocide committed by the Turks against Armenians during World War I. The two cases settled for over $37.5 million. A plaintiff in one of the cases was a Philadelphian, George Yacoubian. * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aratta-Kingdom Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 TIGER MAULING SURVIVORS' LAWYER IS AT HOME IN THE SPOTLIGHT Kevin Fagan, kfagan@sfchronicle.com. San Francisco Chronicle, CA Jan 7 2008 Pit bull. Hollywood. Showboat. All of these have been used to describe Mark Geragos, the attorney who jetted up from Los Angeles last week to represent the two brothers who were mauled in the Christmas Day tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo. And does that bother Geragos? Hardly. "It's all about the client," he said. "So if they want to say I do everything I can for my client, fine." Indeed, in between the showboating jibes, they do say that - meaning everyone from other lawyers to the galaxy of cable-show talking heads who book him to fill the airwaves with opinion, from Larry King to Geraldo Rivera. "Like they say, any publicity is good publicity, and Mark has certainly had a lot," said Gary Bostwick, another Los Angeles attorney who draws from the same sort of client pool, having represented baseball great Steve Garvey and the infamous "Fatal Vision" killer, Jeffrey MacDonald. "But that's not the only thing he is about. Defense lawyers like Mark who do these kinds of unpopular cases are on a mission that is like tilting at windmills, like it's a duty to find justice. He works very hard." Before Geragos, 50, rose to national celebrity status in 1998 with his successful fight to win acquittal for Clinton Whitewater figure Susan McDougal, he was known mostly as a Los Angeles workaholic who was good at keeping accused murderers and swindlers out of prison. A parade of stars, from actress Winona Ryder and singer Michael Jackson to Laci Peterson's convicted husband, Scott, followed McDougal's case, and with each case - win or lose - Geragos' star ascended further. The San Francisco Zoo's tiger case, which has grabbed international headlines for more than a week, was a natural fit. Multimillion-dollar lawsuits are almost certain to be filed against the zoo for not properly enclosing the tiger. Geragos said he signed on to represent Paul Dhaliwal, 19, and his 23-year-old brother, Kulbir, because they were being smeared in the press and by the zoo when what happened to them was "mind-boggling." The most important fact in the entire affair, Geragos said, is that zoo enclosures are supposed to be so secure that animals can't escape, no matter how provoked they are. "Trust me, when the zoo goes on the stand to defend itself about what happened, it's going to look pretty bad," he said. Practically from the moment the two were taken to San Francisco General Hospital after the evening attack that left their friend Carlos Sousa Jr. dead and the brothers clawed and bitten, accusations and implications have swirled that they taunted the tiger Tatiana into launching her rampage. If true, the pair could be guilty of a misdemeanor under San Francisco law that prohibits disturbing zoo animals. It didn't help, image-wise, that the Dhaliwals have had allegedly drunken scraps with the police and are despised as noisy boors by several of their neighbors. "The bottom line is that these boys were doing no taunting, and the fact that they are being attacked (with allegations) is unconscionable," Geragos said. "I wouldn't accept anything coming out of the mouth of anyone associated with the zoo." No zoo officials have openly accused the brothers of taunting the tiger, but high-profile crisis consultant Sam Singer of San Francisco has carefully treaded toward that edge, saying leadingly that "all of the facts still aren't out" about the incident. Because of this, Geragos takes special aim at Singer, calling him a "so-called crisis manager who has been peddling rumors." Singer fires back that "anything that a defense attorney says has to be taken with not a pinch of salt, but a ton of salt." It's all par for the course for Geragos, say those who know him. "Mark was born to be a lawyer," said Loyola Law School Professor Laurie Levenson, who has known Geragos for years and had him talk to her classes. "It's all he ever wanted to do. Doing a personal injury case like (the tiger attack) is a little unusual for him, but he's a smart guy, so you can bet he won't miss any details. And he likes the high-profile cases - the higher the better." In his national spotlight cases, he's had a mixed scorecard. Ryder was convicted of shoplifting, Peterson went to Death Row and baseball slugger Barry Bonds' trainer Greg Anderson was unable to avoid jail for contempt. But then again, U.S. Rep. Gary Condit was never charged in connection with the death of his mistress and intern Chandra Levy. Geragos also helped win $37.5 million for victims in the century-old Turkish genocide of 1.5 million Armenians, and prostitution charges were dismissed against James Bond film director Lee Tamahori. Sympathetic client, famous client, seemingly dirtbag client - they're all the same to Geragos. The only important thing, he has consistently said for years, is that he believes the client has a case. And if that's so, he's in it to flat-out win. "Every case has a life of its own," Geragos said. "You take them one at a time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
