I walked into court in Miami this morning to start a jury trial. I had been up since 6:30 working on the case. I had filed a dispositive motion which, after argument, was denied yesterday. Judge Teresa Pooler began by saying "Mr. Ranck, I hope I'm not the kind of judge that cannot admit when I'm wrong. After my ruling yesterday I reconsidered and I am going to grant your motion."  I think I clutched my heart. Extraordinary. Capital judge, there. Capital judge.
