Prosecutors Clinic
In a compelling brief and oral argument in United States v. Timothy Halo, Carla Cheung ’07 and Jessica Kastner ’07 persuaded U.S. Magistrate Judge Roanne L. Mann to reject the defendant’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus and uphold his conviction for assaulting officers with the Brooklyn VA Medical Center Benjamin Moore ‘07 and Kate Brooker ‘07 successfully prosecuted a defendant who punched an airline attendant in the breast after she announced to the passengers of a transatlantic flight that she had run out of chicken dinners. Moore conducted a effective cross examination of the defendant, who testified in his own defense that there was no punch. That, combined with Booker’s compelling summation, persuaded Magistrate Judge Joan M. Azrack to return a guilty verdict in under an hour. Other students worked on cases involving government property. Elizabeth Bracco ’07 wrote the winning appellate brief in United States v. Roper, the clinic’s first appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which affirmed the defendant’s conviction for disorderly conduct in the lobby of a VA hospital. Students Lee Nolan Jacobs ’07, Carla Cheung ’07 and Meghan Towers ’07 secured a trial conviction of a woman who caused a ruckus in the emergency room of a VA hospital by screaming racial epithets at the staff, assaulting a nurse and resisting arrest. And Judah Kupfer ’07, Josh Kleiman ’07 and John Mattoon ’07 were midway through trial in a case involving shoplifting at a store on the Fort Hamilton Army Base when the defendant decided to plead guilty.
