Louis Ziskin

So I asked, was there any paper, magazine, anything?

And they had the Daily Journal.

LA lawyers, this, that, social happenings cases, this, that.

That was worthless.

But what comes in the Daily Journal every day, five days a week, is something called the Daily Appellate Reports.

I was reading all the appeal cases.

I couldn't tell you procedure in court, but I can tell you what

wins right right so everything in my mind is based on that right so anyway and i'm watching and the other so i went to the judge and i said to the judge in the second case i just basically wrote out an indictment the same way they do to us right and i said but i used the best evidence rule i said

Your Honor, based on the best evidence rule, I want to call the United States Attorney's Office to the stand so that they could tell us when they decided to tamper with a wiretap to protect witnesses to secure an illegal conviction against me.

This is my first case.

Right.

I'm fighting into my second case.

Government's first objection is, hey, he's fighting his appeal.

Judge looks at me, and Mr. Ziskin.

I said, Your Honor, no doubt about it, certainly helps my appeal, but the government is overlooking one thing.

Those same witnesses are being brought as witnesses here for two of the three predicate offenses required for finding of guilty on CCE.

She said, yes.

And I said, and had these wiretaps been given to us in the proper amount of time before they got on the stand, you would be instructing the jury that they'd already been found to be impeached before they testified one word to the jury.

Now, all you're going to do is the standard Ninth Circuit jury warning to review their testimony with greater, greater, greater caution and

right before you give the case to the jury so while this obviously is inconvenient to me it appears to me that the government is trying to hoodwink the court by bringing disreputable witnesses into your courtroom and packaging them as reputable and that's why it's relevant to this case the judge looks at me takes down the glasses okay mr diskin um this is how this works
