(Nada mas y nada menos que demandar al gobierno americano, como si fuera tan fácil hacer lo mismo en o dentro Cuba! Hay que se jodidamente hipócrita y odiar la constitución-democracia americana para apoyar al régimen castrista. Freaking unreal)
On June 6, 2012, a motion requesting an Oral Argument and Discovery was filed with the U.S. Southern District Court of Florida (Miami Court) on behalf of Gerardo Hernández by counsel Tom Goldstein and Martin Garbus*, through his local counsel Richard Klugh.
This motion is part of the collateral appeal process initiated on June 14, 2010, and is based on the right Movant and his co-defendants have to know whether the Government was funding a negative publicity campaign about them during the trial whose purpose was to ensure their convictions.
Its purpose is to obtain, through interrogatories, document production, depositions and subpoenas all the necessary evidence to be fully examined by the Court in an evidentiary hearing and prove, at that hearing, that the legal consequences of the evidence will be that the convictions must be set aside.
The discovery seeks to establish:
(1) the full scope of the issue by identifying all journalists and media organizations that received funds from the United States and then published false, hostile, inflammatory and prejudicial statements about Movant and his co-defendants, as well as the specific articles, interviews, and television and radio segments in which those statements appeared;
(2) the precise degree of the Government’s influence and control over these journalists and media organizations;
(3) the degree of knowledge held not only by the U.S. State Department, which actually paid the journalists, but also by other branches of the Government, including the U.S. Department of Justice;
(4) the prejudicial impact of the Government’s propaganda campaign on Movant’s trial. The discovery requests include 84 individuals connected to inflammatory press coverage relating to this case, 7 TV Stations and 13 Radio Stations.
* Martin Garbus is one of the country’s leading trial lawyers. He has appeared before the United States Supreme Court as well as trial and appellate courts in the nation, in over 100 cases. Mr. Garbus’s skill as a trial lawyer has earned his distinguished reputation as a result of his courtroom skills. He is an expert at every aspect of litigation and trial, from jury selection to cross-examination to summation. His cases have established new legal precedents in the Supreme Court and courts throughout the country. Mr. Garbus, who taught trial practice at the Yale Law School and Constitutional law at Columbia is the author of six books and numerous articles, that have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and in legal publications. Garbus was for many years a personal friend and colleague of Leonard Weinglass, through whom he came in contact with the case of the Cuban Five.
