Jammie Thomas has a new lawyer!
p2pnet news view RIAA | P2P:- I’ve just spoken with a jubilant Jammie Thomas, the woman Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music’s RIAA tried to nail to the wall with a bill of almost a quarter of a million dollars.
She’s over the moon because only days after learning Brian Toder, her previous legal representative, had decided discretion was the better part of valour, leaving her fend for herself against the Big 4 music labels, another lawyer has come forward with an offer of pro bono help.
He’s K.A.D. Camara from Camara & Sibley in Houston, Texas, says Jammie.
And, “He’s the youngest person in history to graduate from Harvard Law school with honors,” she points out.
Nor will her trial — or, rather, her retrial — be delayed, as was expected.
It’ll now go forward on June 15, as slated.
“I’m so happy !” – Jammie said.
That didn’t take long. 
Definitely stay tuned.
UPDATE: – Also see Jammie’s new lawyer KAD Camara v the RIAA

Hope it works out.

Excellent!!
And, who knows?…
Maybe this guy’s youth will be a asset in this one!

Great news! I hope there is finally a ruling showing the RIAA are acting illegally!

Hopefully he’ll be more competent than Brian Toady

That’s not actually entirely good news. Can he really prepare for the trial sufficiently by June 15th? It’ll probably take a week or two just to read all the previous casework, much less come up with a defense position.

Well he cannot do worse! Todler was useless.

“Can he really prepare for the trial sufficiently by June 15th?”
- hey, as the youngest person in history to graduate from Harvard Law school with honors, I’d say he has already earned a reputation for accomplishing alot in a small amount of time.
Go KAD Go!

I bet you anything he has been following these cases while in law school. I also bet he came forward because he knows EXACTLY what was wrong with the first trial.
