Lawyer Too Sleepy To Defend His Client

Charles Curbo is asking for a new trial due to the fact that his sleepiness prevented him from properly representing his client:

"The court constantly rushed defense counsel, who the court knew had little sleep on account of the hours that the court was keeping for no good reason," Curbo wrote.

Actually, the reason the court was keeping such long hours was to accomodate Tony Wolfe's need for dialysis treatments, which would cause the trial to start late on those days.

The best part? Tony Wolfe is Charles Curbo's client.
