A standing room only crowd that could only be accommodated by rotating visitors in and out of the gallery heard the defense team expose what they called the "prosecution's lies". In a dramatic moment defense lawyer Devereaux Cannick stared at the prosecution and called them liars to their face. "A lawyer is suppose to tell the truth when he knows a witness lies", Cannick said. He then went on to

Yesterday they presented inflated numbers taken out of context when claiming he was guilty of Medicare fraud.

The defense team spent the week cross-examining FBI agent Kolbe. They exposed serious inconsistencies in the government's case. The government has been portraying Dr. Dhafir as the "evil-doer" that misappropriated charitable funds from his Charity (Help the Needy (HTN)) for his personal use and for non-relief purposes such as promoting Islam. Under testimony FBI Agent Kolbe admitted that some of

Colleen Williams, hired by Dr. Dhafir to do the Help the Needy's taxes, gave the court room an earful today as she told how she was recruited by the FBI to spy on Dr. Dhafir. The gist of what Colleen Williams said regarding her recruitment was that the FBI told her that there would have been no September 11th if people had been more vigilant and involved in providing information to the

Thanks to everyone that braved the wet snow this morning to hear Judge Mordue's decision on whether the defense can question the government's intent in arresting Dr. Dhafir--terrorism. I am sure Rafil was pleased and would say thanks. The judge ruled against the prosecution and said that they cannot question the government's intent in arresting Dr. Dhafir and raise the issue of terrorism. The

Terrorism: One of the more contentious issues regarding the trial has been the Judge's pre-trial ruling that the defense could not question the government's motive for arresting Dr. Dhafir and the issue of terrorism. We thought that this ruling was preposterous and totally un-fair since the government has consistently smeared Dr. Dhafir as a terrorist in the court of public opinion. Well, it

''Although prosecutors and others entrusted with safeguarding us through the legal system clearly must be innovative and think outside the conventional envelope in enforcing the law and prosecuting terrorists, they must not act outside the Constitution. Unfortunately, that is precisely what has occurred in the course of this case"; Judge Gerald Rosen in speaking about the over-turning of the

We received several comments about yesterday's blog and saw conflicting reports in other media sources: 1)Testimony of Police person Chad Monroe: We understand that reporters must select and chose what they decide to report on. And editors make decisions as to what to cut from an article. We, however think that it was significant that Officer Monroe admitted that in photo of Rafil in the bank

Court began with Police person Chad Monroe of the Syracuse Police Department continuing his testimony from Thursday. Devereaux, Rafil's lawyer, was able to poke a number of holes in Monroe's testimony. He even got him to agree that he did not do a thorough job with much of his investigation.

There will be no court held on Monday (Oct. 25) and Tuesday (Oct. 26th) because Judge Mordue is ill. Court will reconvene on Wednesday October 27th.

Today's opening arguments at Rafil's trial was a study in contrasts and style. The government began with a thorough and detailed power point presentation with lots of charts and graphs. The defense, Devereaux Cannick, followed with an emotional appeal that in essence challenged the prosecution to 'bring on it'. Whom you thought did better depended upon your preference. Although Devereaux

Friends, I have always been concerned about whether Dr. Dhafir would be able to get a fair trial or would he continue to be railroaded by the court that has denied him bail four times. When I walked into the courtroom on Tuesday afternoon for jury selection and was greeted by a sea of white faces my heart sank. The blue red divide gripping our country is playing out in upstate NY. But instead
