Bronx ADA Makes His Case on TV

Talk about stretching for a part -- when the long-time New York prosecutor and part-time actor Bruce Birns appeared on a pair of recent episodes of NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," he was playing, of all things, a criminal defense attorney.

Madoff, facing a 150-year statutory maximum sentence, defense attorney Ira Lee Sorkin asked a federal judge yesterday to set aside the "emotion and hysteria" surrounding the largest Ponzi scheme in history markets and to sentence Mr. Madoff to only 12 years in prison.

Will the Justices Bite the Bullet?

Now, gun rights advocates hope the Court will grant review in Silveira v. Lockyer, a challenge to California's assault weapon ban. The case asks the Court to reverse a 9th Circuit ruling, in which Judge Stephen Reinhardt found the amendment "does not establish an individual right to own or possess firearms for personal or other use."
