Criminal Defense Lawyer Blog

I was very impressed with the fundraiser last night for Benedict P. Kuehne. Through the eyes of a young criminal defense lawyer, it was a “who’s who” of criminal defense lawyers in Miami.

If you don’t know, Mr. Kuehne was indicted earlier this year on charges of Money Laudering. Many people in the community (me included) believe that the DOJ overreached when it indicted Mr. Kuehne. Or, more to the point, as Rumpole’s blog reports today: Ben Kuehne Had No Motive Or Financial Incentive To Launder Money For Ochoa’s Attorney’s And Exclusive Beneficiaries, Especially Roy Black.

Last night there was talk - or gossip, if you will - that the new administration (and new AG) would possibly drop this case. Either way, I stand behind Mr. Kuuhne either way. The turnout last night was remarkable; 187 people RSVP’d and who knows how many more showed up unannounced. I was very happy to be part of this.
