			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Pace Law School is opening up its entertainment law class to the public Monday night as hip-hop artist Jay Sean and two record label CEOs will &#8220;rap&#8221; about the music business with Professor Vernon J. Brown&#8217;s class from 6 to 8 p.m.</p>

	<p>The seminar, called &#8220;Where do I sign?&#8221; will study the relationship between entertainment lawyers and their clients.</p>

	<p>Leading the lecture will be Ronald &#8220;Slim&#8221; Williams and brother Brian &#8220;Birdman&#8221; Williams, who founded the New Orleans-based hip-hop label Cash Money,  and Jay Sean, one of their top artists.</p>

	<p>&#8220;The goal is to give my entertainment law students practical knowledge in working with their clients and interacting with label executives,&#8221; Brown said in a news release. &#8220;What artists expect from their attorneys and what they should expect from their clients. The class is like <em>Inside <span style="font-style: normal;"><em>the Actor&#8217;s Studio</em> for lawyers, offering practical advice for the way things actually work in the real world.&#8221;</span></em></p>

	<p>Brown has been Cash Money&#8217;s business manager and attorney for 14 years.</p>

	<p>According to the news release, from Wolfson Entertainment, the Williams brothers recently marked the 10th anniversary of a distribution deal with Universal Music Group, which has produced hit albums by Lil Wayne, Drake, Juvenile, B.G., Turk, Big Tymers, Mannie Fresh, Hot Boys and Baby/Birdman, two of Bryan Williams&#8217; hip-hop alter egos. Jay Sean is the label&#8217;s latest success, with a chart-topping single in &#8220;Down&#8221; and his debut album, <em>All or Nothing.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>It looks like the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and others accused of various roles in the plot, are going to be tried in federal court in Manhattan rather than before a military tribunal. <a href="http://www.lohud.com/article/20091113/NEWS05/911130375/AP-source--Gitmo-9/11-suspects-heading-to-NYC-for-trial">Click here to read the latest on this development.</a></p>

	<p>I can&#8217;t imagine the jury selection process for this &#8212; what New York City resident wasn&#8217;t affected by 9/11? How are prosecutors and the defense lawyers going to find fair and impartial jurors? And the security! That courthouse will be on lockdown. It&#8217;ll make the 2004 Republican National Convention, where you needed to flash a different badge every 20 feet, where guards snatched glass (potential shards!) makeup bottles from women and where small folding umbrellas were considered dangerous weapons (you still owe me a Totes, GOP), seem like the Wild Wild West. Reporters who want to cover this better get in line for the press passes now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Acting state Supreme Court Justice Robert A. Neary delivered some bad news today to Jose Arroyo, a retired NYPD detective who is going on trial for allegedly drugging, kidnapping and raping a woman in a Greenburgh motel last year.</p>

	<p>Neary is going to allow the jury to see a lot of potentially incriminating evidence against Arroyo, a 47<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1449" title="tjndc5-5nhi7putwub1asuilcxw_thumbnail" src="http://completelylegal.lohudblogs.com/files/2009/11/tjndc5-5nhi7putwub1asuilcxw_thumbnail.jpg" alt="tjndc5-5nhi7putwub1asuilcxw_thumbnail" width="150" height="116" />-year-old from the Bronx. They include statements he made to police (he claims the sex was consensual), surveillance video from the Bronx bar where he allegedly slipped the drug into the woman&#8217;s drink, and 16 photos he took of the naked, unconscious woman in the motel bed, posed in several positions.</p>

	<p>Arroyo&#8217;s defense lawyer wanted the photos thrown out, saying police took Arroyo&#8217;s camera illegally, and that the photos serve no purpose except to inflame the jury. Prosecutors successfully argued that the pics go to the heart of their case&#8212;that the woman was incapable of consent. Neary noted that Arroyo voluntarily turned over the camera to police and never asked that it be returned. However, Neary will review the photos and determine if some of them should be kept out of the jury&#8217;s hands.</p>

	<p>The defense also had a video expert testify that the bar surveillance video was unreliable, but Neary said he would let the jury determine that. The jury also will learn about DNA evidence found on the motel sheets that match both Arroyo and the woman.</p>

	<p>And no, you&#8217;re not seeing double. The mug shots of Arroyo were scanned into our computer system this way, so this is how he&#8217;ll appear until our technical gurus at LoHud.com can fix the glitch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Pre-trial hearings opening today in the case of Jose Arroyo, a retired New York City police detective accused of drugging and raping a woman at a Greenburgh motel a year ago.</p>

	<p>Arroyo, 47, is facing a five-count indictment for rape, kidnapping and assault and up to 25 years in state prison on the top counts. He is accused of chatting up the 31-year-old Texas woman Nov. 14 at Doyle&#8217;s Pub in the Bronx and slipping a drug in her drink that caused her to pass out. Prosecutors say her then took the unconscious woman to the Alexander Motel on Tarrytown Road in Greenburgh, beat and raped her. The woman, after waking up the next morning, grabbed a key and tried using it on several cars in the parking lot. That prompted the motel manager to call  Greenburgh police.</p>

	<p>At today&#8217;s evidentiary hearing before acting state Supreme Court Justice Robert A. Neary, a Greenburgh police officer testified that the woman was &#8220;clearly distraught &#8230; mostly scared&#8221; when she told him that she woke up with a man she didn&#8217;t know and had no idea how she got to the motel. The woman had visible bruises and scrapes to both cheekbones, the officer said. When police entered the room, they found Arroyo sleeping and the butt of a handgun sticking out from a pillow next to him. They took the giun and told him he could have it back after he sobered up.</p>

	<p>Arroyo claims the sex was consensual, but authorities say she was incapable of consent because she was physically helpless because of the drug. Prosecutors say they have videotape showing Arroyo spiking the woman&#8217;s drink, stirring it up and handing her the glass when she returned to the bar.</p>

	<p>Assistant District Attorneys Christine Cervascio and Patricia Murphy are prosecuting the case. Defense lawyer Peter Tilem is representing Arroyo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Vance Major is a happy man today, having been found not guilty of gun charges that his attorney said could have sent the Yonkers convict to prison for 30 years.</p>

	<p>Major, 29, has two prior felony convictions &#8211; a 2000 weapons charge and a 2006 drug possession charge &#8211; and was on trial for felony gun  charges after plainclothes police officers said they saw Major toss two guns into a trash can on Oliver Street the night of Sept. 10, 2008.</p>

	<p>Other people hanging around the area said they saw Major ditch the guns in the garbage as well, but the jury chose to believe two other witnesses who testified that they were with Major that night and he had no part in any gun-tossing. The panel dismissed the entire five-count indictment.</p>

	<p>In what will be entered as the Understatement of the Year, his attorney, the indefatigable Barry Warhit,  said his client was &#8220;relieved&#8221; by the verdict, adding that Major &#8221;is anticipating getting on with his life.&#8221; </p>
