Baby Gabriel's mom says ex-attorneys put her case in peril
Dec. 16, 2010 12:00 AM
Baby Gabriel Johnson's mother claims in a seven-page letter that her former defense attorneys dropped the ball on a motion to dismiss charges in her case, putting her case in peril.
"They shouldn't be allowed to start something this monumental and not finish it," Johnson said in the Nov. 20 letter to the court about her former attorney, Nick Alcock, and one of his associates, Adam Feldman.

The motion, she said, was eight months in the works. Johnson believed that Nov. 22, when the motion at one point was to be argued, was supposed to be "my day."
She was convinced the Maricopa County Superior Court judge would grant the motion, and she would go home, said her grandfather, Bob Johnson.
Instead, Johnson said, after she withdrew a bar complaint, Alcock and Feldman withdrew as her lawyers.

Johnson's case is now in the hands of attorneys Daniel Raynak and Marci Kratter, her third set of defenders since October.
