Friday update


We finally reached Vincent's lawyer, who said he'd talked with his law partner (pictured above) - and the two of them now recommended against a full-scale assault to get visit "supervised visitation" for just one week before the next court date (April 21). Instead, the partner, Mr. Cox, is going to check in informally with one of the prosecutors and see if they object. If they don't, one of the lawyer will drop by without us to ask the judge to amend the order. Otherwise, rather than risk irritating the judge, we'll just wait until April 21 to take all of this up and Vincent will have to make it one more week without seeing him. Vincent and Mr. Mazzoli also chatted for a short while after I had finished talking with him.

Incidentally, if I interpreted material on the Web correctly, Vincent's lawyer is the son of metro Louisville's longtime Italian-American Democratic Congressperson (who Republican Anne Northrop replaced for 10 years) and represented the bar owners who fought successfully not to oust the city's new smoking ban a couple of years ago but to include the race track Churchill Downs in that smoking ban. It also appears that his partner is representing the former University of Louisville education dean accused of misusing grant money.

We're supposed to hear from one of them early this coming week.
