Two attorneys now appear for Billy Lane - DUI Manslaughter Case continued

05/02/2007 by info.

We reported on January 21st that Billy Lane had changed attorneys to represent him in the DUI Manslaughter case. The report, it seems, was incorrect. It was learned earlier this week that Lane has added another attorney to the case. Two attorneys stood before Judge Allawas at the Viera courthouse in Brevard County, Florida to request the case be set for calendar call on March 23, 2007.

Keith F. Szachacz, Esq. appeared for the law office of Funk, Szachacz & Diamond, LLC.Robert Ralph Berry was present representing the law offices of Eisenmenger, Berry & Peters, P.A. Berry, stood behind Szachacz and agreed to the new date of March 23. Judge Allawas asked if Defendant, Lane was present and both attorneys stated that Billy Lane was not present today. The Judge asked if Lane was being represented by both offices. Judge Allawas remarked “that scares me” when it was confirmed that Billy Lane was being represented by both.

Billy Lane also has a related civil case pending were he and ChryslerDaimler are being sued for auto negligence and the wrongful death of Gerald Morelock. This case has been scheduled for February 7th 2007 at the Titusville Courthouse.

Thanks to Mike Odom for the update.
