I Strenuously Object‪!‬ Flaherty Fardo

In a previous episode of the podcast attorney Bill Rogel mentioned the term "Fact Witness".
One of our attentive listeners noticed and sent in this question, "Aren't ALL witnesses FACT witnesses?"
In this solo episode partner Bill clarifies this somewhat baffling legal terminology of the courtroom, using examples from the hit movie My Cousin Vinny.
What is the difference between fact and opinion in the eyes of the court?
When is opinion allowable?
And why was Mona Lisa Vito such a great witness to help Vinnie Gambini's case?

In this episode of I Strenuously Object, partners Bill Rogel and Nicole Amick discuss a recent case involving an Allegheny County School District's motion to prevent property owners from continuing 2023 appeals if their case was previously litigated. 
The case stemmed from an ordinance of Allegheny County counsel which allowed all property owners to re-appeal their property assessments since the ratio was lowered. The taxing entities argued that property owners should not get two bites at the proverbial apple to lower their taxes. 
After hearing arguments by Flaherty Fardo's partner Bill Rogel, Judge Hertzberg ruled in favor of the property owners and allowed the county ordinance to stand and allowed property owners to reappear their taxes even if they had already negotiated the assessment in question. 
The implications of the case are significant and a huge win for property owners in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
