Lawyers Convene, Prepare for Toyota Frenzy

More than 150 attorneys are meeting in San Diego to sharpen their legal tools on the eve of a major federal court hearing on whether dozens of Toyota acceleration cases will be consolidated before a single judge.

"Some of the leading mass tort lawyers in the country will be on hand for panel sessions such as 'Toyota Liability issues: The Mechanical vs Electronic Debate,' and 'Toyota's Unintended Acceleration Timeline,'" the San Diego Union Tribune reported Wednesday.

The main topic at Wednesday's conference was a hearing scheduled before a panel of federal judges on Thursday. The judges will decide whether to combine more than 100 Toyota lawsuits.

So far 19 jurisdictions have been suggested. They include California, Florida, Kentucky and even Puerto Rico. The panel is not required to pick from that list.

Toyota faces an avalanche of lawsuits that potentially could cost the company billions of dollars. The company has recalled more than 8 million vehicles globally over sticky pedals and accelerators that can become entrapped in floor mats, tarnishing the company's safety reputation and leading to government investigations and congressional hearings.

"Skinner wasn't entitled to testing of evidence that wasn't analyzed before his 1995 trial."
So what it has nothing to do with Toyota case, but it does deal with attorneys.
Hey folks the justice system is not a parlor game.
The Supreme court has put a hold on this mans execution to give them selves time to decide if they will hear the case.
With this nations record on false convictions, that have been discovered by DNA testing.
Well I know what the police and officials think of the law and I know that they hate the constitution.
Do you watch television, have you been to the movies recently, you have been brainwashed you are suffering from mind control. Remember in the super man movies when Clark Kent went into the telephone booth to change his clothes and become Super Man, this was a way to teach you to be a snitch, or a tattletale.
And chances are you are part of the problem that causes false convictions, because you tattletale on everyone that you are jealous of even if you know they have done nothing.

This is why we have NHTSA, the FDA and other groups to make sure products are safe and will not harm people BEFORE the fact and not after the damage is done.
