Probably not, because it was a shameful booting by Lynn Abraham.Most anywhere you look for information on Ira's prosecuting lawyer it'll say the same thing. It looks something like this:
Biography: Joel S. Rosen is a partner with the firm of Cohen, Placitella & Roth. He came to the firm in 2004 after twenty years as a trial attorney in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office where he was the Chief of the Major Trials Division and a prosecutor in the Homicide Unit for many years. Mr. Rosen is a top trial attorney who has tried more than fifty jury trials and countless non-jury trials. He concentrates his practice on product liability litigation with a focus on automobile crashworthiness and other catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases. Mr. Rosen represents firefighters, police officers and their families in claims from catastrophic injuries suffered while on the job. Mr. Rosen also represents individuals, governmental entities and companies seeking to recover for economic loss or property damage sustained as a result of wrongful conduct of others. Mr. Rosen has had many multimillion dollar recoveries on behalf of clients in product liability claims and negligence claims. He was the prosecutor in the Ira Einhorn murder case while in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office.
Basically, his bio is a bunch of useless b.s. that does nothing to separate him from any other ambulance chasing, worthless two-bit lawyer followed by a disclaimer that he prosecuted the mighty Ira Einhorn.
For some odd reason, it is very difficult to find the details of why he was replaced by Lynn Abraham over at the PA DA's office. Lynn dropped his ass. But why?
One thing is certain, he didn't just leave. He was tossed and Mr. Rosen has never - to our knowledge - publicly discussed the circumstances explaining why he was dropped by Lynn.
What difference does it make why he left the DA's office? Why does he have to explain himself? He is a good lawyer with a lot of experience. Most of you journalists just make up your stories and don't have liitle facts (if any) to back them up. I'm sure he would be ripped apart in the news media no matter what he said. He is definitely a lawyer I would want on my side - I've seen him in action.
ReplyDeleteMr. Rosen, who also left the DA’s office in disgrace, won an easy in absentia trial at which he demeaned Ira Einhorn by calling him, among other things: “A bum who Zeroxed things.”
ReplyDeleteThis demeaning of the defendant was a constant theme in Mr. Rosen’s conduct of the case. A theme that Judge Mazzola (see below) reinforced and has been continued in a recent attempt of Ira Einhorn to regain private prosperity (his journals) that never should have been taken.
Mr. Rosen attempted to seize the defendant’s journals, that were created after his arrest, by putting extreme pressure on a friend who was attempting to provide Ira Einhorn with an adequate defense (surely a preserved right even in a very changed judicial climate); lambasted, in granted private encounters, witnesses with a barrage of demeaning statements about their daring to testify for Mr. Einhorn; suborned perjury from a rebuttal witness – Dr. Nathanson – whose testimony was 100% falsehood; had a “bullshit bag” at the defense table that his assistant, Carman Lineberger, allegedly held up while Mr. Einhorn was testifying. A Remmer violation (Remmer v. United States, 347 U.S. 227 (1954)) that the judge – contrary to all case law – ignored when brought to his attention.
