    Tony Buzbee Is As Advertised

    Tony Buzbee Is As Advertised

    Tony Buzbee is a compelling, impressive and dominating trial lawyer. A few seconds into watching him cross examine or argue in court or even in a conversation, one can tell that he is a winner, plays to win and to borrow from a too often used phrase, walks the walk. Fresh off his successful defense of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Paxton Impeachment Trial, Buzbee is our guest on the Killer Cross Examination Podcast.

    Buzbee embodies the spirit of Killer Cross Examination. His cross examination of witnesses who testified against Ken Paxton is the stuff of legends. He was cutthroat, unapologetic, humorous and focused. When Buzbee cornered a witness, he didn’t let the witness out of the corner until it was clear that the witness was defeated. The New York Times described Buzbee as “fire-breathing” and they were right. He is as tenacious as they come. While Buzbee’s primary practice area is bringing large corporations to justice, e.g., he represented individuals injured in various types of toxic torts, offshore drilling catastrophic injury litigation and numerous individuals and concert attendees at the calamitous Travis Scott Astroworld concert that resulted in concertgoers being crushed and “stampeded”, he points out that he is able and willing to try any case that interests him.

    He has successfully defended Ken Paxton, former Texas governor Rick Perry, been named a Super Lawyer, the Texas lawyer of the year. Buzbee talked about the Paxton trial, the historical nature of the trial, battling Texas legendary trial lawyers, Rusty Hardin and Dick Deguerin.

    Deandra Grant, “The Texas DWI Gal”

    Deandra Grant, “The Texas DWI Gal”

    Deandra Grant, the Texas lawyer who is an expert in scientific evidence, is often referred to as “the lawyer lawyer’s call” when they need criminal defense help and assistance. Deandra Grant joins Neil Rockind on this episode of the top rated Killer Cross Examination Podcast.

    Deandra Grant is a criminal defense lawyer who specializes in intoxicated-related offenses and with assisting other attorneys with cases in which intoxication may be an issue. She is the co-author of the Texas DWI Manual and a member of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the American Chemical Society. She has a masters degree in pharmaceutical science and graduate certificate in forensic toxicology. Not only is she a sought after speaker and presenter and an instructor but she founded an organization devoted to educating defense lawyers in DWI type cases.

    Deandra Grant is a well-known lawyer in Texas criminal defense circles and a name nationwide to lawyers who handle drunk driving and intoxicated driving cases. Deandra Grant is regarded as an extraordinary cross examiner but don’t expect her to snarl and scream at the top of her lungs when cross examining a witness. Quite the opposite, she kills with kindness, offering witnesses a lethal choice of having to argue with her (when she clearly knows more than them) or agreeing with her and thus undermining their own case. And Deandra Grant does it all with a soft Texas drawl/accent and a smile.

    Texas is the birthplace and home to some legendary lawyers, e.g., Gerald Goldstein, Jack Zimmerman, Racehorse Haynes, Dick DeGuerin, Rusty Hardin, Anthony Buzzbee, Mark Lanier, Cynthia Orr, to name just a few. During the podcast, Deandra Grant discusses her own experiences and her own cases but also comments on the Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial which featured a showdown between Buzzbee, Hardin and DeGuerin. Deandra Grant discusses her favorite types of witnesses to cross examine and shares several war stories from storied career.

    Behind The Scenes With Mark Eiglarsh, Attorney For Scot Peterson

    Behind The Scenes With Mark Eiglarsh, Attorney For Scot Peterson

    My guest is Mark Eiglarsh. Mark Eiglarsh is a criminal defense lawyer, television analyst out of Florida. Eiglarsh is a regular, television commentator and analyst regularly appearing on CNN, Fox News and Court TV. He was a nightly fixture on the Dr. Drew show on CNN Headline News following and covering the Jodi Arias murder trial. The massacre at Rosemary Stoneman Douglas High School was fresh in the minds, eyes and hearts of so many when stories about school resource officer Scot Peterson began to unfold. At the time of the shooting, Peterson was the school’s law enforcement resource officer or liaison. It was his job to protect the students and he was being accused of doing just the opposite - acting out of cowardice and fear and “freezing” rather than finding, charging in and confronting the shooter. When he was charged with crimes, e.g., culpable negligence, neglect of duty as a caregiver to the students and perjury, Peterson turned to Eiglarsh to defend him. Eiglarsh did just that - through the years of litigation, depositions, motions, etc., Eiglarsh defended Peterson. Eiglarsh’s defense was spirited and effective - Peterson was acquitted by a jury on all counts. Eiglarsh joins me on this episode of the Killer Cross Examination Podcast.*************************************About Neil Rockind - Neil Rockind is a trial lawyer.

    Marc Shiner Does Killer Cross

    Marc Shiner Does Killer Cross

    Marc Shiner is our guest for this week's Killer Cross Examination Podcast episode. I go behind the scenes of the Travis Rudolph murder case, the former Florida State University Football star who shiner defended in a Florida courtroom. Marc Shiner obtained an acquittal on all counts for Travis Rudolph. The case was highly publicized and not without fireworks: Shiner went after lead detective Emily Vander-Laan over her investigation. Shiner’s style of cross examination and in particular his cross examination of Vander-Laan is unconventional but incredibly effective. Shiner engages in a physical style of cross examination that really challenges the witness and was so effective in this case that not only did the jury disbelieve Vander-Laan but many observers (who watched his challenge of her) wanted other cases of hers reopened and re-examined.

    Gerald “Gerry” Goldstein Defended Hunter Thompson And A Prophet

    Gerald “Gerry” Goldstein Defended Hunter Thompson And A Prophet

    Gerry Goldstein is a a living legend. He’s represented a so-called prophet, a drug lord, politicians, an irreverent author to name a few. If there is a who’s who list out there about lawyers or quality people who are also lawyers, Goldstein is in the top 5. A visit to his office is a walk down a lane of history — accolades, awards, photographs, verdict forms line the walls from top to bottom and Goldstein has won so many, he needed a lot of walls to fit his awards and accomplishments. Goldstein is a past present of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, has won their Lifetime Achievement Award and is one of the most recognized lawyers by the NORML, the National Organization for Repealing Marijuana Laws. And he’s colorful as all get out. Every few minutes, Goldstein will drop a line or a saying that’s part humility, part self-deprecation and part nugget of wisdom. Only a few minutes into the conversation and it’s obvious that he is a natural on the stage and in the well. So much so that time and time again he has been sought after to defend major figures in high profile criminal cases. Full disclosure — I know Gerry Goldstein. He is a friend, a mentor and a lawyer with whom I have worked on a case. This interview was like having a conversation with an old friend and we talked about a lot including:

    1. His beginnings as a lawyer
    2. His background as 60’s flower child/peacenik
    3. Why he went to law school (a lawyer number was to him safer than a Vietnam Draft Number
    4. His representation of the leader and prophet of First Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS);
    5. His representation of politicians accused of crimes
    6. His partner Cynthia Orr, also a past president of the NACDl
    7. His representation of Hunter S Thompson, the irreverent author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and why he referred to Goldstein as the Maestro of Cross Examination
    8. Wild wart stories
    9. Who he’d like to cross examine the most
    10. How his style differs from say Michael Tigar, whom Goldstein referred to as a mind on another level.

    Goldstein is self-deprecating and humble (when I introduce him he said, “thank you for those kind lies.” This is an incredible opportunity to hear from one of America’s great lawyers and trial lawyers, Gerald Goldstein.
