Murder Case Motion Hearing

This is a video of Jim Amberg arguing a Motion in the high-profile Joni Holbrook murder case.  After co-counsel Jesse Williams gave a press conference in which he indicated that Joni was a victim of her abusive husband, whom she was alleged to have killed, the prosecutor filed a Motion to prevent the entire legal defense team from publicly speaking about the case.  Arguing  that both Jesse and Joni had a right to free speech, Jim orated a persuasive argument to the court, in which the prosecutor had no answer.  As seen on the video, Jim made his points and the prosecutor's Motion was denied.  Ultimately, Joni's team of Jim, Jesse, and legendary attorney Dean Robb were able to get a deal on the day of trial in which Joni received six years in prison in exchange for admitting she had killed her abusive State Trooper husband.
