JAMES L. HANKINS,

07.06, OKC:  I received some good news in my mailbox last week in the form of the opinion in the Duncan case, reversing and remanding for a new trial.  I would like to point out the efforts of trial counsel in the case, Maria Tasi Blakely, Hugo, OK.  I do not know Ms. Blakely personally, but I read a great many trial transcripts and can tell rather quickly when trial counsel is "fighting" for the client.  In the Duncan case, she was definitely a "fighter" in protecting the record and filing motions.  I think he has a good shot at winning a re-trial.
