Paey Appeal Selected Transcripts: Defense Attorney John Flannery Addresses the Court
Richard Paey’s Defense Attorney, John Flannery, Addresses the Court (Transcript excerpt) Florida Appeals Court; 2006-02-07.
Fragment: “The government spent months trying to find evidence that he had ‘trafficked’. But they found none. Because there is none. Nevertheless, Richard stands convicted of ‘trafficking in illegal drugs’. I’m a former narcotics prosecutor from New York, and we never prosecuted a ‘trafficking’ case where there wasn’t ‘trafficking’.” See also: Sick - A Florida Paraplegic Needs Relief - Radley Balko, National Review, 2005-10-24.
