Refused to disturb a lower court ruling that putting a defendant on trial in jail clothes unconstitutionally created an impression of guilt in the minds of a jury. The Courts brief order directly affects a Texas man who was brought into the courtroom in a and dungarees stamped Harris County Jail. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for a drunken-drivin- g death. T-sh- irt The ruling could trigger bids for freedom or new trials for others like him in six southern states who were tried initially in prison garb. Let stand a conviction based on wiretap evidence obtained several years ago under a law since declared unconstitutional. The court acted in brief orders. It already has held that wiretap rulings on trials held several years ago under then existing standards may not be applied prospectively. P.l. Defense Joint Venture MILWAUKEE (ACCN) Effi- cient legal effort for the defense in settlement and trial procedures is a joint venture between the attorney and the insurance claim man, demanding the best from each of them, according to LeRoy E. Kennedy, vice president of the Northwestern National Insurance Group and member of the Defense Research Institute. Addressing the Kansas Claim Association in Topeka, October 14, Kennedy indicated that the competent attorney and claim man are complementary. The claim man, he said, is responsible and accountable for the initial collection of facts after an accident or occurrence has taken place and that he should remember that he is laying the groundwork for the defense attorneys trial brief. More lawsuits are probably lost by the defense during the course of the field investigation because the claim man has relied on assumption, prejudice or guesstimating rather than collecting the hard, cold facts to prove or disprove an issue. In addition to responsibility for the investigation, the claim man must determine coverage, according to Kennedy. Experience has taught most of us that the denial of coverage based on technicalities is a losing game unless we can prove, by facts, that there is fraud or misrepresentation. . . . In my opinion, it is also the claim man's responsibility, primarily, to negotiate and settle not only claims but lawsuits. i |
