April's Kanawha County Blog Exposes Immunity For Court Appointed Lawyers
Edited on Tue Mar-18-08 09:33 AM by pwdgroup
Coming April 14th, 2008

WV Court Appointed Lawyers (private & public defenders office) who represent indigent criminals/clients are underpaid, overloaded with cases and the defendants don’t always get the best representation possible because of it…. We’ve all heard this complaint.

To compensate for this problem and injustice, the state protects these attorney’s from being sued by their clients if they can’t, or don’t defend them properly.

Why is that a problem?

2. Clarifying Question
Just want to makesure everyone understands the question we are posing since you can not edit these threads after one hour.

"Why is that a problem?"

There has to be some liability that these attorney's have to face if they neglect or fail to adequately defend their clients. To give them immunity creates an atmosphere that they can not be sued or held accountable.

It is the same unfortunate scenerio for anyone who is on public free health insurance through the county/state. Unknown to most people, if you are on this type medical coverage and a doctor is negligent in their treatment etc.

You may not be able to sue them for malpractice because the county/state is paying your doctor-hospital bill.

When I called the phone number on the Swint Book press Release it went to Colorado and a "number not in service" message


I THINK IT IS TIME FOR WHOEVER THIS IS TO EITHER IDENTIFY THEMSELVES OR SHUT UP. This is totally wrong. A News service that does not exsist. A fictional address and phone number, and a silly child's book character for a name.
PUT UP OR SHUT UP, the jig is up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Heres Some Answers to some questions chocolot
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 09:12 AM by formerfed
It appears 7 Canebrake drive does exist a few miles down the road in BLUFFTON SC which borders HHI.

The press release criteria (its automated) does not offer Bluffton as a city so I think HHI makes sense.

Also found that there is a BNnews in Canada & the UK. Heres an example
http://www.maslen.co.uk/newsletters/newsletter_oct04.pd...

I would not jump to conclusions on what PWDGroup stands for. There are thousands of companies who have the same name, even though PWD is not that common.

Here is what also is out there on the internet for Sam Webber.

http://www.egs.edu/faculty/samuelweber.html

If your going to investigate something you should at least wait to expose what you found after you’ve researched things thoroughly.

I’m not sure if I was divulging information like this PWD group is, that I would use my real name either??

IF ANYONE IS MAKING THINGS WORSE, YOU ARE

Personally, I do not care who is putting all of this out there in the public. Its a good thing. If you looked into Nitro's problems as hard as your trying to look into this, Nitro would be a lot better off.

Lets just all wait and see how this plays out over the next couple weeks. I just find it very hard to believe this (pwdgroup) is all coming from local people associated with Nitro.

They appear to be on more on a higher level.
