I am honored to be part of this event, which will not only pay tribute to the nurses who provide advanced, compassionate care for all of us in our community, but which will also raise funds so that they will have access to the very best and most advanced nursing station possible at Emerson's new Surgical Center.

The necessary investigation, motion practice, discovery and defense scientific testing simply cannot be accomplished without additional time.

Sensitive facts need to be disclosed to members of the defense team who are essentially strangers to the defendant. This takes months. Then evaluation by relevant experts must follow. It is an incrementally slow process.

I'd like to see them do more of this so we don't have to go to Cocoa Village all the time.
