typical clients, or former clients and the problems for which they sought your services.
Since 2011,1 have handled death penalty cases exclusively on behalf of Mr. Finkelstein's office.
am certified to try death penalty cases pursuant to the Supreme Court's guidelines as codified
in the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure. These cases are very involved on many levels,
namely: fact investigation in discovery, research into scientific issues, the vetting, use, and
examination of experts, and myriad legal issues involving admissibility of evidence, the
constitutionality of Florida's death penalty scheme and its application to my client's case, and
the State's evidence to support it. The cases are time intensive in and out of the courtroom.
Our defense team is the last advocate of our client.
From 2009 to 20111 handled 'direct file' cases for Mr. Finkelstein. All children who were
charged as adults and could not afford counsel were defended by myself and Ms. Nadine
Girault. I challenged the State's decision to charge children in adult court on numerous
occasions. I also worked with Maria Schneider, Chief Assistant State Attorney, to avoid direct
filing my client's cases through juvenile sanctions, placement in programs, and other alternative
resolutions. I tried several juvenile cases in adult court. I also worked with the Department of
Juvenile Justice in hopes of redirecting children into other programs.
From 2005 to 2009 I trained new hires for Mr. Finkelstein. I worked with young lawyers on
discovery, motion practice, trial preparation, client relationships, and trial. I helped young
lawyers prepare and argue motions to suppress, dismiss, compel, participated in many hearings
and trials with young attorneys and consulted on attorney promotions and placements.
From 2004-2005 I partnered with attorney Amy McGrotty in a firm focusing on real estate
transactions, mainly foreclosures, evictions and closings. I worked with clients to close real
estate transactions, review and approve real estate documents, advocate on behalf of clients
regarding fees and costs for closing, resolve title issues, and explain complex mortgage and
bank transactions. I handled commercial and residential evictions in Dade and Broward courts.
From 1993 to 2004 I worked for Public Defender Alan S. Schreiber as a trial attorney in several
felony divisions and as the supervisor of the domestic violence divisions. I appeared before
Judge Geoffrey Cohen/ Judge Lee J. Seidman and Judge Robert Lee on a regular basis. I advised
and supervised felony and misdemeanor lawyers on their caseloads. I went to trial regularly
and co counseled with lawyers at trial. I handled major crimes in the division while working
with young lawyers.
From 1991-1993 I was a staff attorney for Legal Aid of Broward County. My focus was on
obtaining social security and unemployment benefits for those who had been denied benefits.
researched the effects of disabilities and the treatments and medications for them, the
availability of work or retraining in tight of the client's age and limitations, and prepared for
hearing on behalf of the client. I also researched unemployment issues and prepared witnesses
and clients for administrative hearings on these claims.
From 1989-19911 was a division lawyer and was before several Orange County Circuit Judges
on behalf of Joe DuRocher, Public Defender in the Ninth Circuit.
From 1984-1989 I was a trial attorney in several misdemeanor divisions and in the felony
division of Judge Harry Hinckley and Judge Mark E. Polen here in Broward as an assistant to Mr.
Schreiber, the Public Defender in Broward County.

Case: State of Florida vs. Terrence Taylor

Case No. 08-22027CF10A
First Degree Murder
Hon. Martin Bidwill, Trial Judge

Assistant State Attorney: Ms. Neva Smith, Esq.
Defense Team: Assistant Public Defenders George Reres,Esq., Melisa McNeili, Esq. and myself
Jury Trial May30-June 15, 2012
Mr. Taylor was charged with bludgeoning a friend to death in furtherance of the crime of
robbery. The State sought death in this case. Our mitigation investigation revealed that
Terrence was the son of a drug addicted mother and an absentee father. Terrence was one of
several children, all of whom were in and out of foster care. Terrence's one stable home, that
of his Aunt Mozie was taken from him when his mother regained custody, oniy to lose him to
the justice system. Terrence was arrested at age 15 for aggravated battery. We found the
'victim' in this case who said that the incident was mutual combat between two school boys,
not a second degree felony. No one had consulted the victim when Terrence was committed to
the juvenile justice system. Shortly after his release from commitment, Terrence was arrested
for purse snatching. At sixteen years old, he was filed on as an adult and sentence to ten years
prison. Within a year of his release, Terrence was arrested in this case. We made a
presentation to the State Attorney's office that outlined the life of our client. Just one month
before our trial was to commence, the State Attorney agreed that the death penalty was not
appropriate in Mr. Taylor's case. The day we told our client that his life was not in jeopardy was
unforgettable.
The trial raised numerous issues regarding the reliability of cell site evidence/ the credibility of a
case based entirely on circumstantial evidence/ and other evidentiary issues.
The jury found Mr. Tayior guilty as charged and he was sentence to life in prison without the
possibility of parole. This case is presently on appeal.
Case: State of Florida vs. Elton Walters

Case no. 09-18637CF10A
Charge: 1. First Degree Murder, 2. Armed Burglary, 3. Armed Robbery 4. Sexual Battery
Hon. Jeffrey Levenson, Trial Judge
Mr. Steven Zaccor, Esq., Mr. Thomas Coleman, Esq. Assistant State Attorneys
Asst. Public Defenders Melisa McNeill, Esq. and myself- Defense
th
th
October 14In - November 7, 2013 Jury Trial, March 5ln - March 13, 2013 Penalty Phase
This case involved a brutal murder where the State sought the death penalty. The case was
very involved - we filed over 150 motions involving suppression of evidence; Florida's death
penalty process and its constitutionality, the aggravators the State intended to present, and the
evidence we sought to put before the jury during the guilt and penalty phases,
Mr. Walters was 62 years old at the time of the murder. He had led an exemplary life; 35 years
with Amtrak, a pension, 3 children, two grandchildren, a wonderful reputation in the Caribbean
community in Dade County, and loving, close friendships from all over the United States and his
home country of Trinidad.
The victim was a 92 year old woman who lived in the townhomes that Mr. Walters worked in as
a maintenance man. She lived independently. She was found by her granddaughter after calls
to her went unanswered. The evidence against Mr. Walters was substantial; forensic evidence
placed his DNA at the scene, the items stolen from the victim's home were in Mr. Walters'
truck, and Mr. Walter's confession.
The jury found Mr. Walters guilty on two of the three counts.
The penalty phase in this case lasted over a week. We presented 34 character witnesses who
testified that Mr. Walters had changed their lives for the better, that he continued to be a
fundamental part of their lives, and that Mr. Walters' death would deeply affect them. After
deliberating for nine minutes, the jury unanimously recommended life without parole for Mr.
Walters.
Case: State of Florida vs. Leroi Morris Case no. 11-1490CF10A First Degree Murder, Second
th
th
Degree Murder, Armed Robbery April 28ln through May 7ln, 2014
Judge Jeffrey Levenson, State Attorney Greg Rossman Co-counsel Melisa McNeill
These charges stem from a robbery during which Mr. Morris' codefendant and the victim were
killed. Our defense was that Mr. Morris did not know that a robbery was to take place. We
argued a motion to dismiss based on the lack of evidence that Mr. Morris knew of the robbery
or the existence of a firearm, or his codefendant's intent to use the firearm. The Jury found Mr.
Morris guilty as charged and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. This case is on
appeal.

1.
The Defense specifically demands a transcript of witness Camile Hamilton's
Grand Jury testimony.

based on the facts and law as set out in this motion and introduced at hearing in this matter.

Mr. Pratt is accused in the Indictment of three counts of 1st Degree Murder and 1
count of Attempted 1st Degree Murder. The State of Florida is seeking the death penalty.
4.
The Office of the Public Defender has been appointed to represent Mr. Pratt.
5.
On February 20, 2015, hearing was held on Mr. Pratt's Motion For Grand Jury
Testimony ofCamile Hamilton. On that date, and on February 26, 2015, this Honorable Court
ordered that the State provide Mr. Pratt with the transcript of the Grand Jury testimony ofCamile
Hamilton. On July 1, 2015, the Fourth District Court of Appeals ordered an in camera review of
the transcript ofCamile Hamilton's testimony before the grand jury that resulted in the
Indictment of Mr. Pratt.
FACTS:
On or about August 17, 2009, Ms. Camile Hamilton, Davion Bishop and Nekitta
Hamilton were approached by an individual at gunpoint in the driveway of 9581 Encino Street,
Miramar, Florida. Eventually the perpetrator forced those individual inside and upstairs to the
master bedroom of the home which was occupied by Faith Bisasor. The perpetrator shot each
of the four individuals in the head. Injuries sustained to Davion Bishop, Nekitta and Faith
Bisasor were fatal. Ms. Camile Hamilton survived the assault and when she became conscious
she went downstairs and contacted a neighbor who subsequently called 911. Ms. Camile
Hamilton was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital where she received medical care. Ms.
Camile Hamilton is the only surviving victim of this incident and the only eyewitness.
Over the course of this investigation and during case preparation (excluding grand jury
testimony) Ms. Camile Hamilton has given twelve (12) independent sworn statements, including
her deposition taken on April 4, 2014. Additionally, Detective Toyota advised in his sworn
deposition that he took several additional unrecorded statements from Ms. Camile Hamilton.
The documented statements were taken from August 16, 2009 until April 4, 2014.
During the course of an ongoing deposition, the defense has discovered countless
additional times that Ms. Hamilton has contacted law enforcement, been contacted by la\\.
enforcement, given additional information to law enforcement, or been given additional

information by law enforcement that were not recorded on audio or video, or documented in
reports.
The reports and transcripts reflect that Ms. Hamilton has given over 12 sworn statements
in this case. During those statements that were made available to the defense, Ms. Hamilton has
given materially inconsistent responses in the many areas. Florida Statutes Section 905.27(1 )(a)
provides for an exception to the normal secrecy provide grand jury testimony in order to
ascertain "whether it is consistent with the testimony given by the witness before the court.
Because of the material inconsistencies in Ms. Hamilton's statements, this Court should order

Valuables
a. On 8/22/09, Camile Hamilton stated that she had a gold chain, bracelet, and two rings
that night that broke off and fell to the ground. Camile Hamilton did not remember

b.
On 8/31/09 Camile Hamilton stated that she took off the bracelet and two rings and
placed them under the bed. She stated that the gold chain fell off (Ex. 9, p. 6).
c. On 4/4/14, Camile Hamilton stated that the perpetrator never asked for jewelry, that
she removed it and placed it under the bed. She stated she did not recall telling law
enforcement that the perpetrator removed her jewelry and threw it on the floor (Ex.
13, pp. 47, 48).
Furthermore, the specific facts of this case create a particularized need for this testimony.
Florida Statutes Section 905.27(l)(c) provides for the disclosure of grand jury testimony in order
to further justice. Human memory is a complex process. Research "has refuted the notion that
23
memory is like a video recording, and that a witness need only replay the tape to remember what
happened." SttUe v. Hsnderson, 208 N.J. 208, 245 (N.J. 2011). Memory is a constructive,
dynamic, and selective process. There are three stages in memory: "acquisition-the perception
of the original event; retention-the period of time that passes between the event and the
eventual recollection of a particular piece of information; and retrieval-the stage during which a
person recalls stored information." Id. (internal citations omitted) (citing to Elizabeth F. Loftus,
Eyewitness Testimony 21 (2d cd. 1996). Human vision does not capture a perfect, error-free
"trace" of a witnessed event. At each stage of the memory process, memory can be distorted,
contaminated, and even falsely imagined.
Trauma effects the accuracy of memory, and Camile Hamilton's head injury renders her
incapable of recalling these horrific events accurately. Camiie Hamilton suffered a gunshot
wound to her head, requiring hospitalization and subsequent operations and treatment. Detective
Toyota stated in his deposition that the reason he immediately took a statement from Camile
Hamilton was because her treating physicians did not expect her to live (Ex. 24, p 11, 11. 5-7).
The other victims in the case were Davion Bishop, a young man with whom Camile Hamilton
was intimately acquainted, Faith Bisasor, a friend, and Nekitta Hamilton, the daughter ofCamile
Hamilton. The events that Camile Hamilton endured were nothing short of traumatizing and life
shattermg.
At times, even Ms. Hamilton has acknowledged her difficulty with remembering these
events. On 8/22/09, Camile Hamilton stated, 'Did you find, did you find out that I fire a
shot?...Did you check my hand?' (referring to the gun shot residue test) (Ex. 6, p 17). On 9/9/09,
Camile Hamilton stated, 'you know, I forgot him 'cause I see people on the road, and I look at
them. I don't know how I'm alive' (Ex. 10, p 9). On 4/4/14, Camile Hamilton stated that she
24
was unable to recall making an earlier statement because 'I was in trauma' (Ex. 13, p 55,1.17).
On 4/4/14, in explaining why there were inconsistencies in her prior statements, Camile
Hamilton indicated, 'well I was in the hospital, and my jaw was wired shut, so they could not
understand what I was saying' (Ex. 13, p 84,11. 6-25). On 4/4/14, in explaining why she had
previously asserted that the perpetrator wore a mask, Camile Hamilton said, 'I was under
anesthesia' (Ex- 13, p 1 10,1. 14). On 4/4/14, Camile Hamilton stated that she has no memory of
being loaded into the ambulance or taken to the hospital. (Ex. 13, p 124,}. 7).
The known inconsistencies between Ms. Hamilton's accounts and the known potential
causes of Ms. Hamilton's faulty memory increase the need for disclosure of all of her statements.
It is particularly problematic in this case that Detective Toyota failed to record or fully
memorialize all of the statements he obtained from Ms. Hamilton. On 4/4/14, Camile Hamilton
stated that there were several times when she would cali Detective Toyota (Ex. 13, p 90,1. 18, pp
95-96). On 4/4/14, Caraile Hamilton stated that there were times when Detective Toyota called
her (Ex. 13, p9. 93-94, II. 22-5). On 4/10/15, Detective Toyota stated that he had a conversation
with Camile Hamilton regarding a live lineup, but that he does not remember where or when this
conversation occurred (Ex. 23, p 134,1. 12). On 4/10/15, Detective Steven Toyota stated that a
conversation with Camile Hamilton occurred after a live lineup was conducted. There is no
recording, notes or mention of this conversation in any discovery provided by the State (Ex. 23,
p 147,1. 19). On 4/10/15, Detective Toyota attributed statements to Camile Hamilton that appear
in no recording, written note, or transcript (Ex. 23, p 161,1. 21, pg. 162, 1. 5). On 4/19/15,
Detective Steven Toyota gave previously unknown infoi-mation regarding a conversation he had
with Camile Hamilton that was not included in his report of the conversation (Ex. 23, p 167,1.4).
Detective Toyota's rough notes reflect that on Oct. 18, 2009, Camile Hamilton and Detective
25
Toyota spent the day together. There is no recording or reference to this in any report (Ex. 15, p
52).
Some of the factors that can affect eyewitness memory are beyond law enforcement
control. These estimator variables relate to the environmental conditions at the time of the crime
and the characteristics of the witness and the perpetrator. However, some factors that affect
eyewitness memory are under the control of law enforcements. These system variables are the
characteristics of the procedures and practices used by Saw enforcement while trying to obtain an
identification. Based on the reported contents of some of the unrecorded conversations with law
enforcement, it is clear that Detective Toyota and Ms. Hamilton discussed many issues that relate
to her memory of the event and perpetrator. Detective Toyota's rough notes reflect that Camile
Hamilton described her dreams to Detective Toyota (Ex. 15, p 40). Detective Toyota's rough
notes reflect that Camile Hamilton picked out a different suspect (Ex. 15, p 47). On 11/6/14,
Detective Toyota stated that Camile Hamilton was shown crime scene photos, but that he is not
sure when she was shown the photos, or which photos she was shown (Ex. 25, p. 39,11. 6-10, pg.
40,11.1-4).
Even Detective Toyota does not recall some of the statements he has obtained from Ms.
*/
Hamilton. On 11/6/14, Detective Toyota stated his rough notes contained a statement from
Camile Hamilton that 'would have been taken from her that is unrecorded and we have never
seen before' (Ex. 25, p. 8,1.22-25, p. 9,1,1). On 11/6/14, Detective Toyota explained an entry in
his rough notes regarding Camile Hamilton, stating, 'I'm assuming I made contact with her but I
don't have any notes of that conversation" (Ex. 25, p 10, 11. 22-24). On 11/6/14, Detective
Toyota was asked; 'And that looks like it would have been another statement between 4 and 5, is
that right?' to which he responded, -Correct' (Ex. 25, p 14,11. 20-22). On 11/6/14, Detective
26
Toyota stated, "Is it possible that I made contact (with Camile Hamilton)? Yes, but I didn't sec
any documented contacts in my notes..." (Ex, 25, P 19, 11. 20-21). On 11/6/14, Detective Toyota
was asked, '.. .and others of your contact (with Camile Hamilton) were not recorded? 'to which
he answered, 'Yes' (Ex. 25, p 21,11. 23-24). On 11/6/14, Detective Toyota had the following
exchange with defense counsel, ". . .do you recail if you had any communications with her
(Camile Hamilton) between statement 5 and 6 that is not recorded?' Ans. "No." Q. "Okay. You
do not recall or you did not?" A: "I do not recall" (Ex. 25, p. 26,11. 14-19). On 1 1/6/14,
Detective Toyota stated that he did not recall whether he had contact with Camile Hamilton
between the statements she gave on Aug. 24 and Aug. 26, 2009. Detective Toyota's report does
not reflect any contact, however, his rough notes and testimony at deposition reflect numerous
contacts omitted in his report(s) (Ex. 25, p 3 8,11. 6-11, Ex. 1, Ex. 15). On 11/6/14, Detective
Toyota stated that prior to recording Camile Hamilton's statement on 8/24/09, he had
conversation with Camile Hamilton, but does not remember what the conversation was about and
took no notes of the conversation. There is no mention of this conversation in Det. Toyota's
report(s) (Ex. 25, pp. 33, 11. 24-25 and p. 34, 11 1-13, Ex. 1),
The defense acknowledges that Grand Jury testimony and evidence is not routinely
provided to the defense, however, the unusually high number of inconsistencies and the
progression of Mrs. Hamilton's testimony mandate that this witness' testimony be provided to
Mr. Pratt in its entirety. The detriment to the State is minimal when compared to Mr, Pratt's
right to confront the witness and to fully investigate the capital accusations against him. The
attached article, 'Secret Grand Jury Testimony From Ethel Rosenberg's Brother Is Released,'
which ran in the New York Times just two weeks ago, is illustrative, to say the least. (Ex. 26).
27
In addition due to the severity and irrevocable nature of the death penalty, the United
States Supreme Court has held that "the Eight Amendment requires a greater degree of accuracy
and fact-finding than would be true in a noncapital case" in all phases of a capital trial. Gilmore
v. Taylor, 508 US 333, 342 (1983). Accord Woodson v. North Carolina, 428 US 280, 305
(1976); Beck, supra, 447 U.S. at 637-638; Johnson v. Mississippi, 486 U.S. 578, 584-90 (1998).
The heightened degree of reliability demanded in capital cases affords additional protections
against inaccurate or unconstitutionally unreliable verdicts about and beyond the basic due
process protections applicable in all criminal cases.
MEMORANDUM OF LAW AND AE. UMENT
Ms. Hamilton's testimony and any physical evidence upon which the grand jury relied in
returning its Indictment against Mr. Pratt should be provided to undersigned counsel for the
following reasons:
(a) To ascertain whether Ms. Hamilton's grand jury testimony agrees with other
testimony and evidence given by the witness during the investigation, depositions,
hearings and/or trial.
(b) In furtherance of justice and due process
(c) To enable meaningful and intelligent enforcement and review of the right to a grand
jury indictment guaranteed by the Fifth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States
Constitution and article I, section 15(a) of the Florida Constitution.
There is no justification for continued secrecy of the grand jury proceeding; any
justification advanced by the State is minimal when weighed against the due process rights of
Mr. Pratt. A defendant charged with a capital crime is entitled to State and Federal constitutional
28
right to disclosure of what transpired during the Grand Jury proceeding under these
.
circumstances.
The disclosure of the above material is essential to ensure compliance with the Federal
guarantee of due process and indictment under the Fifth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to
the United States Constitution and Florida's Constitution and statutes.
Disclosure of the above material is appropriate under Florida Statute 905.27.

Disclosure of the above material is necessary to provide effective assistance of counsel,
obtain meaningful appellate review, and to otherwise fully protect the Accused's constitutional
rights under article I, sections 2, 9, 15(a), 16, 17 and 22 of the Florida Constitution.
The disclosure of the above material is necessary provide effective assistance of counsel,
obtain meaningful appellate review, Due Process of Law and to otherwise fully protect the rights
guaranteed by Amendments V, VI, VIII and XIV to the United States Constitution.
In general, trial courts have the discretion to order the disclosure of grand jury
proceedings. Seefi?Mv^tom, 918 So.2d 405 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006) (not an abuse of discretion
in a non-capital case where defendant found guilty of second degree murder to fail to order
disclosure of grand jury proceedings). The testimony that was presented at the grand jury is
accessible because Florida now requires that "testimony in grand jury proceedings shall be
reported by a court reporter, but shall not be transcribed unless required by order of the court.
Other parts of grand jury proceedings, including deliberations and voting, shall not be reported."
Fla-RJud.Admin. 2.535(h)(6). The testimony and evidence presented during a grand jury
proceeding can be property admitted under section 90.801 (2)(a) as substantive evidence. State v.
Green, 667 So.2d 756, 759 (Fla. 1995); Moore v. Stale. 452 So.2d 559 (Fla. 1984). In that
regard, the State of Florida has unfettered access to grand jury proceedings and is readily able to
29
use grand jury testimony to impeach witnesses whose grand jury testimony differs from that
presented at trial. Rg, Barv^tgte, 938 So. 2d 451 (Fla. 2006) (prosecutor allowed to
impeach witness with testimony and photograph presented during grand jury proceedings). This
gives an unfair advantage to the state.
Mr. Pratt's interests in enforcing the state and federal right to indictment for a
capital crime and to prepare a meaningful defense to imposition of capital punishment otherwise
outweigh the State's interest in concealing what transpired during the grand jury hearing
In Bwtterwwtfi.v. Smith, (110 S.Ct. 1376) Judge Rehnquist delivered the opinion for a
unanimous Court, holding Florida a statute prohibiting a grand jury witness from ever disclosing
his testimony violated the First Amendment insofar as it prohibits a witness from disclosing his
own testimony after grand jury's term has ended. Although the Court was dealing with a very
narrow issue of grand jury witness testimony and the 1st Amendment, Judge Rehnquist's opinion
undermines the State's assertion as to the necessity for secrecy in grand jury proceedings. Judge
Rehnquist cites to Unites Slater v. Prociec & CjwnNfCo., an opinion that had stood for the
State's assertion. (356 U.S 677, 78 S.Ct. 983 (1958)). The Court in that case noted that several
distinct interests are served by safeguarding the confidently of grand jury proceedings,
specifically:
1.
If pre-indictment proceedings were public, many prospective witnesses would be

hesitant to come forward voluntarily, knowing that those against whom they testify
would be. aware of that testimony. Moreover, witnesses would be less likely to testify
*
fully and frankly.

2.
There is the risk that those about to be indicted would flee. or would try to influence
individual grand jurors lo vote against indictment.
30
3, Protection for the person that is accused but exonerated by the grand jury will not be
leld up to public ridicule. Dw&laiOitCoâfrMlfgrmavJ'etroiStoMMll^^
441 US 211, 218-219 (1979).
Florida relies on the interest in preserving grand jury secrecy as outlined by the Qouglas,
Court. But as the Supreme Court held in the BuUerworth case, the Justices did not believe those
interests warrant a permanent ban on the disclosure by a witness of his own testimony once the
grand jury has been discharged. Some of those interests are not served at all by a Florida ban on
disclosure, and those that are served are not sufficient to sustain the statute, Id., at 632.
(emphasis added).
The safeguards that Florida places on the release of grand jury testimony as referred to
above are simply not relevant in Mr. Pratt's case and are distinguished as follows:
1. The secrecy safeguard that would protect testifying witnesses does not apply in this
case as Camile Hamilton has been listed as a state witness since November 13,2011.
Additionally, Mr. Pratt actually had direct face to face contact with her pre indictment
when law enforcement arranged for Ms, Hamilton to confront Mr. Pratt. The issue of
protecting the witness identity does not apply here. Additmall}^ the Defense is not
requesting the identification of the grand jurors.
<
2. Pre-indictment concerns regarding flight do not apply in this case. Mr. Pratt remains
in maximum security at the Broward County Main Jail and has no bond.
3. Finally, concerns for the un-indicted is inapplicable as Mr. Pratt has been indicted in
this case.
Florida courts resist requiring the disclosure of grand jury proceedings unless Defendants
can show a special need for the material. The Defendant respectfully submits that a special need
31
here exists for the testimony of Ms. Camile Hamilton that was presented to the grand jury. In
Miritmv, Siate, the Florida Supreme Court granted Certiorari because there was an apparent
conflict between the decision of the District Court of Appeal and tlie decision of the Supreme
Court in TrafficaMe v. State, 92 So.2d 811 (1957) involving the rights of the defendant in a
criminal case to inspect the grand jury testimony of a state's witness for the purpose of laying the
foundation for impeaching the trial testimony. 113 So.2d 361 (1959). In Minton, the Defense
both filed a written motion and orally moved for an order requiring the State to make available to
the defendant and his attorney all portions of the grand jury report. The motion was sworn to by
counsel for defendant 'upon information, knowledge and belief... .so that I can determine
whether he is testifying to the same thing at this time as he did then" id. at 362. Essentially
defense counsel wanted to see if the witness' Grand Jury- testimony would be consistent with his
trial testimony. Defense counsel did not show a particularized need for the testimony and merely
surmised and speculated that the Grand Jury testimony would conflict with the trial testimony
and the Court properly denied both motions.
In J'fnfncante v-Sleite, the Florida Supreme Court, allowed release of a witness' grand
jury testimony because counsel had been able to demonstrated a particularized need for the
testimony. 92 So.2d 811 (1957). In Tmfficgnte, the Florida Supreme Court held that it was error
for the trial judge to deny a sworn application for subpoena duces tecuin directing the official
court reporter to bring the transcript on one of the. states witness given before the grand jury in
order that it might be utilized in cross-examination of the witness for the purpose of laying the
foundation for impeachment of the witness' direct testimony without first examining same to
determine its 'materiality'.
The appellate court affirmed the trial courts finding holding that no
proper predicate, was made by the defendant sufficient to require a preliminary examination of
32
ff
the Grand Jury testimony of witness Thomas. The Florida Supreme Court reversed the appellate
court's ruling and found that counsel had in fact laid the proper predict and had demonstrated a
particularizes need for the testimony.
Under oath, counsel for Trafljcante stated that an examination of the grand jury
transcripts of a specific witness (Sergeant Dietrich) was warranted as it was material and relevant
to, and in conflict with, Sgt. Dietrich's testimony on direct examination. In order to show the
court this conflict, defense counsel proffered the testimony of the official grand jury court
reporter, who stated that Sergeant Dietrich testified before the grand jury concerning some or all
of the matters and transactions about which he testified at trial. Counsel also demonstrated that
Sergeant Dietrich's testimony was in direct conflict with other testimony. It was crystal clear to
the Florida Supreme Court that something more than mere surmise or speculation that a witness'
testimony at trial is inconsistent his grand jury testimony and that Trafficante has shown the
proper predicate and had demonstrated a particularized need for disclosure.
Mr. Pratt's case is similar to the Trafficante case in that Mr. Pratt has illustrated a
particularized need for disclosure of Ms. Hamilton's grand jury testimony. Mr, Pratt does not
speculate or surmise that Ms. PIamilton has previously given inconsistent statement relating to
material aspects of his case. Mr. Pratt has illustrated in this motion that Ms. Hamilton has given
at least 12 previous sworn statements and in those 12 statements she has given conflicting
responses. It is therefore necessary to disclose her testimony in order for the defense to prepare
for impeachment as well as to insure that justice is served.
Because heightened procedural due process attends imposition of capital punishment,
disclosure of the basis of the prosecution is required to enable meaningfuj appellate review and
effective assistance of counsel. The interests of reliable fact finding and heightened procedure
33
due process that accompany imposition of capital punishment far outweigh any interest in the
continued secrecy of grand jury proceedings in this case,
.
Section 905.27(1), Florida Statute, allows disclosure of grand jury testimony to ascertain
whether it is consistent with testimony in court, to determine whether the witness is guilty of
perjury, and for die purpose of "furthering justice." Justice is furthered by insuring that grand
jury proceedings resulting in the indictment of a person for a capital offensc was properly
conducted in accordance with ethical concerns and the laws of the State of Florida.
The secrecy that once cloaked Florida grand jury proceedings now gives way to scrutiny
when a valid interest is served.
The constitutional rights that are fundamental to the case at bar are as substantial as the
first amendment rights of the witness in Buttemorlh v. Smith. Initially, the defendant's right
against arbitrary application of the death penalty under the Eighth Amendment and Article I,
Section 17 of the Florida Constitution. Further, Mr. Pratt's right not to have Ills life taken
without due process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment as well as article I, section 9 of the
Florida Constitution are surely as compelling as the First Amendment right involved in
Buttsrwgrth. Similarly, the public interest in preventing the execution of those with valid
defenses and those for whom the death penalty is inappropriate is of great importance. \Vhen
weighed against these rights, Florida's interest in grand jury secrecy dissipates entirely.
.
WHEREFORE,, based on the grounds specified in the motion and the accompanying
memorandum of law, the defendant requests that this Court enter an order authorizing the
undersigned attorney to have the grand jury proceedings in this cause transcribed.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true and correct copy of the foregoing has been

Question 50 Describe any other experience you have which could assist you in holding this
office.
believe I have life experience which would help me see the difficulties that those who come
before the bench might face. I grew up during a time when being gay meant isolation at best
and criminal charges at worst, When I told my father that I was gay, his response was'Never
tell another person what you have just told me.' He said this to me because he loved me and
wanted to protect me. I spent many years hiding who I was. I was stalked and harassed, my
home was burglarized; but I never called the police for fear of being found out and losing my
job and license to practice law. Homophobia took a real toll on my personal life and my career.
I know what it is like to feel that I won't be heard. I would never do that to someone who came
before me. I will treat everyone with dignity and respect and make sure they know that the law
will be adhered to in my courtroom without regard for their status.
When I was 47 years old I resolved to realize my dream of being a mother. At the time it was
against the law for a gay person to adopt a child in Florida. I explored the option of
international adoption, and decided to adopt internationally, I went to Russia, alone, and met
my amazing son. I stayed there alone for a month and visited him all day, every day. I went to
Court and the Russian government approved my request. I went to the United States embassy
in Moscow with a toddler who did not understand me. t spent a week in Moscow with my bags,
my son, and my documents. We flew for 22 hours to come home to the United States. We
flew in to Houston and navigated through customs with my boy, our luggage and our
documents. When we got home to Fort Lauderdale, my son said his first English word to my
Dad; 'Papa/ In many ways, life began for me at 47. Many who come to court need
encouragement and hope, and to be told that good can come from trying. I think that I can
impart hope based on my experience, and encourage those who have obstacles to never, ever
I
give up.
Question 51. Explain the particular contribution your selection would bring to this position.
I have been practicing law for 30 years, but I have been a part of a family with a reverent
commitment to the law all of my life. My father, Bill Benson, practiced law for more than 53
years, until his 83rd birthday. People still stop me in the courthouse to tell me about his
generosity and dedication to the law, and to his clients. Dad would give generously of his time
to any lawyer that asked for help. I have tried to be that kind of lawyer as well.
have spent 30 years in the courthouse. I believe in the importance of role models. I learned
how to behave in court, and what was expected from attorneys, from my father, but also from
Judges Mowry, Nutarro, Zebedee Wright, and Fleet, to name a few, I think it is crucial that
young lawyers appear before Judges who have a deep respect for the rule of law and show that
the courtroom is a place of reverence. I will show up to court every day, on time, with a calm
and measured demeanor that reveals my family's deep commitment to following the law in
service to others in general, and to Broward in particular.
Q.uestion 53. Give any other information you feel would be helpful to the Commission in

believe that an attorney is not given the privilege to practice law, but instead promises a deep
commitment to her clients, and the rule of law. I believe that this extends to the judiciary as
well. As a judge I would be committed to giving my time and attention to those who come
before me. I would be on time, listen carefully and diligently, and rule based on the evidence
before me, in accordance with the law, 1 believe that anything less is an affront to our system
of justice and to the people of Broward County. The Judges that I have been honored to appear
before have patiently and selflessly given their time and attention to all parties. I would strive
to do the same.
