Miami Divorce Attorney – Andrew Boros, Esq

William E. Wells murdered five people in a Florida fishing village in 2003. After his arrest, he insisted he should be executed.

He wasn’t.

So, Wells began to make meticulous plans to kill a fellow inmate inside a Miami-Dade prison.

“It’s natural selection — survival of the fittest,” he later told guards.

In May 2008, Wells tied the man up by the wrists, strangled him and stabbed him with a homemade shiv before other guards stepped in. The man survived — and Wells quickly pleaded guilty to a life term for the attack.

Nevertheless, Wells behaved well enough to earn a position as an “orderly” within a maximum security prison in Raiford, giving him greater access to the cell blocks of fellow inmates. Then last year, Wells finally killed again, this time teaming up with another man to strangle and stab an inmate to death.

Wells, 36, may finally get his wish to die by lethal injection — the State Attorney in Bradford County is now seeking the death penalty.

“There is the possibility they are bound and determined to get the death penalty imposed on them,” State

Twelve years after he was ushered out of the Miami Dolphins starting quarterback position, Dan Marino is watching an even uglier divorce happen in Indianapolis. The Colts and Peyton Manning seemed destined to split this offseason, and Marino hasn’t failed to notice the derisiveness of the two sides.

As Mike Berardino of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported, Marino was at Sun Life Stadium on today, attending the Dan Marino Foundation’s WalkAbout Autism event at stadium. Appearing with Dolphins’ general manager Jeff Ireland, Mainro stated, “That’s the one deal is they understand. I think Mr. Irsay understands what Peyton has meant to the league and the Indianapolis Colts, and you can understand, too. I think Peyton said he went in to the facility and no one was there. So any guy that’s meant so much to the team, and all of a sudden there’s changes

At the start of A Separation, an Iranian couple appears before a judge to request a divorce. Simin (Leila Hatami) and Nader (Peyman Moadi) have irreconcilable differences: She wants to move abroad before their exit visas expire for the sake of their daughter Termeh (Sarina Farhadi). He is unwilling to relocate because his father is ill with Alzheimer’s and cannot take care of himself. But Simin would rather break up their marriage than stay put, because she doesn’t want her child to grow up under what she calls “these circumstances.”

What, exactly, does she mean by that? Writer-director Asghar Farhadi uses uncommon subtlety in A Separation to show how the cultural limitations and class differences inherent in any society can lead to chaos and tragedy. This family just happens to be Iranian, which means that when Nader hires a nurse, Razieh (Sareh Bayat), to help tend to his father, she must call her religious leader and ask permission before she can touch the old man to help him out of his soiled clothes.

Razieh is also pregnant, but she hasn’t told her husband (Shahab Hosseini). She keeps many secrets from him, some

Florida Bar President Scott Hawkins kicked off a daylong meeting of the Bar’s Commission on Review of the Discipline System at the Florida AM University College of Law Jan. 9 in Orlando. Created this past May, the commission’s goal is to make sure the Bar is fully responsive and vigilant in regulating its nearly 100,000 members. The commission has been broken down into three subcommittees: Group One focuses on the standards for imposing lawyer sanctions, alternatives to discipline and problems related to aging attorneys; Group Two examines the Bar’s Attorney Consumer Assistance Program; and Group Three looks at complex discipline cases and is examining communication with the public and Bar about the grievance program.

  Jan. 24: A sea platform carrying a crane approaches the grounded cruise ship Costa Concordia off the Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy.

U.S. citizens who were on the Costa Concordia and want to sue may be lost in the sea of fine print written on the back of their ticket vouchers, according to legal experts.

Marc Bern, a senior partner with the New York-based Napoli Bern Ripka LLP, said he plans to file a single lawsuit on behalf of “a number of injured passengers” in Miami on Friday — despite the cruise line’s offer to pay passengers who have returned home more than $14,000 each in compensation.

Families of passengers killed in the accident and cruise guests who were injured and needed medical treatment on site will “be covered under a separate proposal that will take into account their individual circumstances,” the cruise line said in a statement.

But Bern’s civil complaint against Costa Cruises and its operator, Miami-based Carnival Corporation, faces a major legal problem because of where the lawsuit is being filed, according to legal experts. Included in the fine print on the back of each passenger

(Adds Stanford in top section, BP and Apple in Lawsuits and Perelman in Trials. Updates Chinese Vitamin C Makers in Lawsuits and JJ in Verdicts.)

Jan. 27 (Bloomberg) — R. Allen Stanford, standing trial on allegations he led a $7 billion investment fraud, appeared in an October 2008 video shown to jurors in which he decried “damn greed” on Wall Street as the financial crisis deepened.

“People are stupid, they’re greedy, they’re lazy, they don’t stick to their core values,” he told a gathering of Stanford Financial Group Co. executives in Miami. “We’re different.”

In the video, shown yesterday in Houston federal court, the financier told his audience that the company was “$5.5 billion more liquid than it should have been.” Four months later, U.S. regulators filed suit claiming his businesses were missing billions of dollars in investor money. He was indicted in June 2009.

Prosecutors accuse Stanford of skimming more than $1 billion in investor deposits from his Stanford International Bank Ltd. to fund a lavish lifestyle and support real estate developments and unrelated companies that included regional airlines
