On March 6, 2017, Attorney Wood and a team of attorneys from Ropes & Gray filed a brief in the Supreme Court on behalf of the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in Weaver v. Massachusetts, No. 16-240. They argue that the Court should not shy away from vindicating the treasured right to a public trial. The government's argument that vindicating the right to a public trial would "open up the floodgates" is both factually incorrect and diverts attention from the real issue: whether our Constitution entitles everyone to a public trial. Read the brief here.
We are excited to announce that Danya Fullerton has joined Wood & Nathanson. Attorney Fullerton has experience in matters ranging from assault and battery and operating under the influence to assisting in high-profile cases such as the defense of James “Whitey” Bulger and Tarek Mehanna. She also helped win the leading Massachusetts case of Commonwealth v. White, in which the Supreme Judicial Court limited the search of cell phones and text messages.
