Hello Students!

Federal Judge William Kuntz has invited us to attend a criminal court proceeding in his courtroom at the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York (across the street from City Tech) this coming Thursday, Dec. 8 starting at 3pm!  It will be a conference in the Federal government’s criminal case against Frank James, the accused “subway shooter” who allegedly opened fire on a crowded rush-hour train in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn back in April.  Among the issues Judge Kuntz will consider is Mr. James’ request to move his trial out of NYC to Chicago, because he does not believe he’ll get a fair trial here.  You can read more about that request in this news article.  This trip is totally optional!  Just if you’re interested.  If you’d like to attend, please email me or let me know in class.

See you tomorrow,

KC
