Robert Duvall - am Appreciation

At a young age, I watched my mother star in a local production of Dial M for Murder, (At the cast party I wasn’t too nice to the actor I’d just seen try to kill her.) Around then, Robert Duvall co-starred in a professional production (1956).

Duvall’s first film role was Boo Radley in the marvelous To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). I was a wiseass kid watching it at prep school. Along with having black friends and rooting for Jackie Robinson, maybe the film helped me develop a loathing for racism. (Three years later, I was a civil rights activist.)

By 1972, I’d graduated from film school at NMSU, and was making small-time free-lance movies, so I watched The Godfather as a great example of what could be done. By the time Duval played a major role in Network (1976 ), a great indictment of the vacuity of our news system, I’d taken a role as a journalist too, covering Las Cruces for the El Paso Times. I loved my little job, but when Howard Beale (not Duvall) gets a nation of citizens to holler out the window, “I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" I was feeling it too.

A college prof could teach a “Late 20^th Century” history class just through Duvall’s movies. MASH, technically set in the Korean War but about the absurdity of war, a rapidly spreading concept in 1970; Apocalypse Now (1979), with Duvall’s Lt. Colonel Kilgore exulting, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" in was a fitting epitaph to the stupid Viet Nam War, I’d spent years protesting; despite that, I loved him as the hard-boiled Marine Lt. Col. "Bull" Meechum Santini in The Great Santini (1979).

His disillusioned sportswriter in The Natural (1984), is all of us, in a way, after Viet Nam and Watergate. It was a time most everyone got jaded. His loneliness, mixed with guilt and lost love, as the drunken country& western singer in Tender Mercies (1983) also seemed pretty familiar. His role as big-firm trial lawyer in A Civil Action reflected the big environmental lawsuits of the time. (I was a trial lawyer at a big firm, too, but, fortunately, was able to avoid working on those cases.)

I acted a bit in my youth, and I’m awed by the sheer range of those portrayals. He so completely inhabited all those very different characters that Tess Harper, his co-star in Tender Mercies, said she never got to know Duvall, but just Mac Sledge. But Duvall didn’t just act. He’d gotten serious about riding, appalled by how foolish the western stars looked once their horses started galloping, and prepared for Lonesome Dove (1989) by seeking further horsemanship lessons with well-respected U.S. show jumper Rodney Jenkins, learning so well that he fired the stunt double they’d hired. And in Tender Mercies, which I loved, he insisted the contract include that he’d sing all the songs himself. He couldn’t see the point, otherwise. (I’m pretty sure they’re not going to tell me next that he actually flew the plane as Meechum.)

In Lonesome Dove (1989), his Gus combined grit and sentiment, like the funny but tough friend whose loyalty we’ve prized, while laughing at his throwaway lines.

Duvall was, a great actor, with an everyman quality and deep capacity for hard work on his craft and whatever a film needed.

[Sorry not to post this Sunday, as I usually do – and sorry it’ s not a better column, too. I started with the idea of honoring both Duvall and Jesse Jackson, and interweaving both with stages in my own life. But to do that at all well would have required more than the 570 words the newspaper allows me. So the concept change. I feel as if maybe the result doesn’t live up to the standard of quality I try to maintain. Ironically, when I condensed and rewrote it for radio, it necessarily shortened itself and focused better. I like the resulting radio commentary better than many I’ve done. So, ]

Reflections this Week

This column mentions stuff I’m thinking about today.

First, we had a shooting so early Sunday morning that it delayed my wife and the dog from reaching their Sunday strolling grounds. I am appalled by anyone who says, “A police officer shot some one, but he’s a police officer, so he must be right.” I’m almost equally appalled by anyone who says, “A cop shot a civilian, so the cop must be wrong.” Especially when we're approaching the two-year anniversary of the unprovoked killing of Officer Jonah Hernandez. Answering a call, he entered a yard, courteously and quietly greeted the guy he saw there, and the civilian knifed him to death.

I think cops are wrong more often than most folks realize. I know many are dedicated public servants doing a job most of you wouldn’t care to try. Let’s try to let facts help form our opinions. (But ICE’s conduct in Minneapolis is different, not only because we have so much video but because ICE won’t allow a proper investigation to uncover more facts. It’s a core judicial principle that in a trial, if one party is responsible for our lacking full information, the judge can instruct the jury to assume that whatever that issue is, the facts hurt the party hiding the information.)

In football, it’s fine for 49er or Packer fans to decide all Dallas Cowboy players are bad folks. But making such judgments about all public officials, all members of this or that political party, all cops, or all motorcyclists ain’t fair. Also, it’s stupid. Humans are wonderfully varied, as are facts. This morning I watched a cop’s chest video from Kentucky. They’re searching for a lost child. Helicopters and all. Can’t find him. A dog shows up and starts barking at the officer, like he has something to contribute but happens to be a dog. The cop follows him into a back yard. The dog approaches a car and barks furiously at it. Trapped inside, the kid hugs the cop like there’s no tomorrow once they jimmy the lock. That cop has patrolled that neighborhood for years. Never saw that dog before. Or since.

I also wish we’d make 2February a national holiday. Not to celebrate the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed that day in 1848, but to remind us that the border our federales treat peoples so badly for crossing jumped over all of us. Mexico’s border used to be as far north as southern Wyoming. President Polk coveted San Francisco. When Mexicans declined to sell it for $30 million, we took it. (Gee, ya wonder why Greenland and Canada are nervous?) Point isn’t “Don’t protect the border!” It’s “Yo, this border jumped right into a community, so maybe use a little human decency and discretion.” At least, realize!

Lastly, will our governor, whom I loved when she first visited our radio show, be as infamous as Susana? She’s given us Jupiter. Now, when a regulated monopoly guarantees utilities a profit way better than stocks, and our permanent fund could buy PNM for a fraction of its funds, her appointees may let one of the worst private-equity firms buy it instead – so decisions get made with no concern for us, and profits go to distant investors.

That makes no sense. Not for us New Mexicans. Plenty for Blackstone. And maybe for the governor?

And we’re still Germans in 1933.

County Appears to Vioilate Due Process

Except in the Trump Administration and Doña Ana County, a key principle of our country is due process: the government can’t take away a right without fair notice, a fair hearing before someone neutral, and a route to appeal.

If they think you stole something, you get a court trial with a lawyer, and can appeal. Taking someone’s welfare benefits or medical license also requires “due process.” That distinguishes us from the Nazis, Saddam, or Attila.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is important. It’s first. You have a right to free speech, although it can be limited in schools or jails. Public input at the city council or county commission is a “limited public forum” at which you have a right to speak. That’s a Constitutional right the Supreme Court has long recognized.

You also have a First Amendment right to videotape officials at work, including police officers, although ICE might kill you for exercising that right in Minneapolis. Surprisingly, our county might jail you for it.

A local gadfly videotaped county officials more than they wanted to be videotaped. County Manager Scott Andrews and Interim County Attorney Cari Neill got angry and sent him a “trespass” letter purporting to ban him from county meetings for vaguely-alleged intrusive videotaping. No specifics; no hearing; no appeal.

That’s unusual. The courts have held that banning someone from county public-input requires due process: clearer charges, a fair hearing, and an appeal procedure. When folks pointed that out, Andrews/Neill said they were the bosses and knew what they were doing. I doubted that.

When the trespassed citizen attended a meeting, wearing a comical false mustache and waiting quietly in line to speak, they called police. LCPD declined, perhaps wisely. When they called Sheriff Kim Stewart, she probably had no choice. (She’s said on radio she had to act, whether she agrees with county officials or not.) The citizen was then arrested and jailed – and kept in jail for a day.

Preparing this column, I repeatedly asked the county officials about their conduct. I’d litigated this stuff as a lawyer since before they were born. And any fool can ask Chat GPT “What due process is required constitutionally for a county to ban a citizen from public meetings?” I’d also talked to relevant organizations. But I figured maybe I’d missed something. I sent them a long letter asking appropriate questions. Pathetically, they said they couldn’t say anything at all because there might be a lawsuit. I’ve rarely seen a public entity that unable to address such an issue. Most good lawyers, when you ask them to explain their positions and the legal support, do so readily – to convince you or learn their weaknesses. These folks’ silence isn’t a great sign that they have a clue.

This is scary, not just because it illegally abridges rights, but because it’s downright stupid and could be costly. Whatever your views on Project Jupiter, how these folks handled it broke or narrowly skirted law. One commissioner was appalled by an agenda packet full of blank or unfinished pages, and having just two days to read pretty extensive material.

This ain’t like banning your drunken uncle from your backyard. A normal citizen shouldn’t have to pay attorneys to enforce rights. If you have just cause, prove it. Further enforcing this novel idea they can ban annoying people from public input without due process, could cost the county dearly.

[I guess we’ll see what happens in the courts. As with ICE, if misconduct is allowed to go unchallenged, it will continue. Is this misconduct? I sure think so. Even if I’m wrong in my understanding of the law, and a county can toss someone out without cue process, it’s unjust and unwise. Means if the county doesn’t like how I say what I say about officials, they can send me a letter telling me not to come back. My choices are to disobey them, get cited by law enforcement, and pay lawyers to defend my criminal case, or to pay lawyers to file a declaratory relief action asking the court to declare the county’s action legal. Neither is something we should want. Neither is something county officials should want: unjust conduct and a possibility of paying a bunch of unnecessary money. ]

[And it’s all unnecessary. If these “officials” had reasonable grounds, which is certainly possible, all they had to do was arrange for someone unbiased to be the hearing officer and invite the alleged trespasser to seek a hearing on the legality of the trespass order. Simple. Just seems plain stupid – or worse – not to do so. Were these officials bending the law to satisfy Project Jupiter proponents? I know the trespassed person was a critic of the county’s approval of Jupiter; and I’m guessing maybe he videotaped Project Jupiter proponents in the parking lot, though that’s merely a guess.]

[ So far, a majority of the Commission steadfastly declines to consider that staff could be wrong here.]

  

A Polite Request to Right a Gross Injustice

This is by way of an open letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Dear Governor Abbott:

I urge you to do something just, simply because it is just.

Let me mention first several points that either we’d likely agree on or the Supreme Court has articulated as Constitutionally required:

> an all-white jury hearing non-white defendant’s criminal trial is constitutionally suspect;

> for a 44-year-old man, a 50-year sentence is essentially a life sentence.

> framing someone for a murder is bad conduct, and freeing that framed prisoner from Death Row is good conduct;

So please consider these facts: a sheriff arrives at a man’s home, intending to arrest him, but without an appropriate warrant; when the man questions whether an arrest would be legal, the sheriff draws a gun on the man, who then disarms the sheriff without harming him; the man flees, but is caught and imprisoned, and sentenced to fifty years’ imprisonment.

Would you, personally, call that just?

Legally, the conviction is valid because it survived direct appeal under Texas law. So let’s assume, although the sheriff told a TV interviewer that day that he was unharmed when the man disarmed him, that the sheriff sustained some minor injury.

In a situation where a man is rightly or wrongly defending his own home, believing himself in the right legally, and takes away the invader’s gun, without harming the man or shooting anyone, should he serve fifty years in prison?

Your only possible answer, privately, could be, “Of course not!”

If in 1996 there was some need to emphasize local law enforcement’s authority or dissuade social activism, we are nearly three full decades beyond that moment.

A 50-year sentence for resisting arrest is not normal.

You could pardon this man or commute his sentence.

Why should you perhaps not?

To protect the sheriff who may have committed perjury by claiming grave injuries at trial? Sheriff McDaniel reportedly is no longer with us, and can’t be prosecuted.

Because this has gotten entangled in the culture wars, and all of us need to stay loyal to our side, whether it makes sense or not? A man’ s life is at stake. A man who’s 71 years old and whose writings apparently have inspired many.

Because mercy would somehow undermine respect for law enforcement? If anything, showing that Texas can be fair, even to a prisoner, even to a proud Chicano, might enhance respect for law enforcement. Commuting such an extraordinarily long sentence, given his good behavior, does not say that there was error by the original prosecutor or court.

Why should you? Because you can, by commutation or pardon, and because it is the right thing to do. If you are in doubt, try this exercise: sit in your backyard and consider whether God, or Buddha, Socrates or Oliver Wendell Holmes, or whomever you most admire, would keep the man in jail; explain the facts fairly to your six-year-old daughter or niece, and ask her; discuss it with your minister, if you have one, or the first lady of Texas, who earned a masters in theology, has run Catholic schools, and likely had learned a little about forgiveness; or go and talk with the man, then decide.

In an unjust world, make one thing more just.

It’s just right, is all. Please free Xinachitli, Alvaro Luna Hernández. Or explain honestly to Jesus or yourself why you do not.

The Case of the Disappearing Doctors - Part II

This column continues last week's discussion of our doctor shortage and suggests tougher steps some trial lawyers might oppose.

We should change the standard of proof required to get punitive damages. The tough criminal law standard is “beyond a reasonable doubt.” As juror, if you’re as sure of guilt as you would be to make a very important personal or professional decision, vote to convict. For criminal grand juries, deciding whether to indict, it’s “more probable than not.” Most civil cases use “preponderance of the evidence.” As I’ve told juries, “If there’s ten pounds of evidence on each side of the balance, and a feather falls on the plaintiff’s side, you must find for plaintiff.” Another is “clear and convincing evidence.” That means being quite persuaded, based on the evidence, but without the level of certainty required to put someone in jail. This heightened standard makes sense, because punitive damages are punishment (not just ordering defendant to compensate plaintiff for the damage defendant’s car did) but far short of jailing or killing someone. (Six states don’t even allow punitive damages in such cases.) Among the states that allow punitive damages, most use that standard. Why shouldn’t we? (Colorado uses the reasonable doubt standard for punitive damages!)

Changes to our Medical Review Commission could help. Not every state even has one. It should be mandatory in all medical malpractice cases – and have teeth. Essentially, an expert board of doctors, lawyers, and others votes on whether plaintiff’s case is viable. I know doctors where the vote was 6-0 that the claim was crap, but the plaintiff’s lawyers kept pushing it, hoping litigation costs and the threat of punitive damages and litigation costs would extort a settlement. (Note that these suits really hurt some doctors, not just financially.) Under California CCP §998, in any civil case, when one side makes a binding compromise offer or demand, citing §998, if the other side declines, and doesn’t get a better result at trial, that party has to defray the all the offering party’s costs and attorney’s fees after the spurned offer. That sure discourages frivolous litigation.

Trial lawyers will say that’ll also weed out a few suits by desperate folks, with devastating injuries, whose suits might look dubious to the experts but not to a jury. So, maybe tinker with my suggestion. Have a unanimous vote against the case trigger the provision; or, after a 0-6 vote, let the panel vote whether or not to impose the provision; or make the possibly frivolous litigant

(or attorney) pay half the other side’s fees thereafter, not the whole. Lawyers often say, “We have the American rule, not the British, where losing litigants pay the winners’ fees. The British system can prevent less wealthy people from bringing suit.” I like our system. But we have plenty of exceptions. This should be one. I’d argue that some trial attorneys abuse our system by using bogus claims to extort unduly rich settlements.

I would not cap awards. For one thing, the small number of doctors generating a disproportionate number of successful suits suggests leaving punitive damages uncapped. Because New Mexico's Medical Malpractice Act caps compensatory damages at $750,000, patients rely on punitive damages to force hospitals to take action against problem physicians. Further, the hospital might have been negligent in continuing to allow the physician to practice here. Let’s punish that.

My suggestions could be effective – and perhaps achievable.

[First of all, apologies to the newspaper and readers for three typos I didn’t catch in this, until a friend called me to point them out: most significantly, I’d written in “acquit” when I meant to write “convict” in discussing the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard; I left punitive damages in singular form; and a sentence later on about CCP §998 was murkier than it should have been. Thanks to my helpful friend.]

[ I hope, taken together, the two columns help enrich the discussion of an issue that matters to most of us. I feel like most of the people who know a lot about it are in such entrenched opposition, vilifying each other and keeping their ears closed. That’s not usually a good sign.]

Solving the Mystery of the Disappearing Doctors - Part I

How should New Mexico deal with our deepening doctor shortage?

It’s a national problem, but especially bad here. Reasons include our sparse population, the paucity of each year’s UNM Medical School graduates, the high number of hospitals here owned by private equity, our gross receipts tax, and our relatively high malpractice insurance rates. Too, many people here are on government insurance, which tends to reimburse providers at lower rates.

During 2019-2024, New Mexico was the only state with a net loss of physicians. All New Mexico counties but one are are classified as Health Professional Shortage Areas. Our doctors’ older average age means we’ll see higher retirement figures than most states.

I like Senator Bill Soules proposal to use a small amount of our permanent fund to increase residencies for doctors here. The feds fund those, but there aren’t enough. Many doctors stay where they did their residencies. In those years, one makes contacts and friends, finds the good tennis or poker games, or maybe marries someone local. But this would have no immediate impact.

In 48 states, a doctor isn’t required to charge patients gross receipts tax. Patients pay less and doctors have no irritating and time-consuming state GRT paperwork. This isn’t the major factor in doctors’ selections of states; but it’s an unnecessary burden, unfair to patients, and wholly in the state government’s hands.

Another obvious problem is our disproportionate number of private-equity-owned hospitals. Some physicians seek to escape corporate limits on the time they can spend with patients. Some have told me of hospital quality control being minimized. Prior research taught me that safety concerns and overall results decline when private equity takes over a hospital. New Mexico has the highest proportion of private equity-owned hospitals in the country at 38%, compared with a national average of 8%. One Albuquerque medical malpractice attorney, testified to a legislative committee hearing that medical negligence occurs more often in New Mexico because of this high number of private equity-owned hospitals. (I’m agree!) She suggested a Corporate Practice of Medicine statute guaranteeing providers more autonomy and requiring safe nurse-to-patient ratios.

The real tension is between folks who would end or cap punitive damages, or otherwise limit patient’s rights, so as to decrease the high malpractice insurance rates that contribute to physicians leaving and new physicians avoiding our state. (Even if reformers exaggerate this problem, as trial lawyers insist, it exists.) New Mexico has a very high number of such lawsuits, per capita. Some folks are suggesting draconian measures. Trial lawyers – for a mix of good and bad motives – are pushing back. Reformers wrongly demonize the trial lawyers; but trial lawyers are significant players in our state government, and they got on the wrong side of the Ethics Commission by trying to hide an advocacy group’s funding. I hate everyone, but have some suggestions.

I like the suggestion that we allow doctors to apologize and explain without having that hung around the doctor’s neck by plaintiff’s lawyer. When patients whose surgery has gone wrong feel unheard, or disrespected, that can encourage litigation and render it more bitter. Some bad results are not mistakes. If 1% of patients have some negative side effect, someone’s in that 1%. Doctors should be able to express sadness about what happened without having that used against them at trial.

This topic won’t fit in one column. My suggestions regarding litigation will appear next Sunday, in Part II.

[As noted, this is Part I of my comments on this complex situation. I’m no expert; but I’ve had the benefit of discussing this on radio with folks who are, and of sitting in on a recent meeting between a key legislator and three articulate doctors that featured frank and thooughtful discussion. ]

An Illegal and Unwise Invasion

Donald Trump’s invasion of Venezuela has no lawful basis, no ethical basis, and will help fracture international alliances we depend on.

It broke international law. Trump hasn’t seriously tried to argue otherwise.

Starting a war without Congressional approval seems to violate US. law. Not only invading and kidnapping the country’s president, but seizing oil tankers and massacring fisherman amount to acts of war.

The administration claims this was lawful armed-forces assistance to a law-enforcement action, since Maduro had been indicted on drug charges. Trump’s regime-change rhetoric and talk of “running Venezuela” for its petroleum negate that excuse. (They’ve had to admit that Trump’s oft-repeated claim that Maduro ran a drug ring, Cartel de los Soles, is nonsense. That group doesn’t exist.)

This was never about saving US. lives: fentanyl doesn’t come here from Venezuela, cocaine doesn’t cause that many overdoses, and if Trump cared deeply about bringing drug-runners to justice he’d not have pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was tried and convicted of doing, as Honduran president, what Maduro is alleged to have done.

It’s not about human rights or Venezuelan democracy. Mr. Trump has clearly said that if Maduro’s vice-president will give the US. Venezuelan oil, she can stay in power. No freeing of political prisoners we supposedly cared deeply about.

It’s about the oil, to which we have no legal or moral right.

It will also have more negative consequences than Trump can imagine. First, “running Venezuela” might immerse us in just the sort of long-term struggles to run a divided country that Trump promised to extricate us from.

Combined with his bullying comments about taking Greenland, Cuba, Canada, and maybe Mexico, it changes the international scene in three important ways: it threatens further fracturing of international alliances; claiming this is our “sphere of influence,” essentially concedes Taiwan to China and Eastern Europe to Russia. Further, whatever vestigial shred of credibility “American exceptionalism” had, Trump tossed in into the ashcan. We are more blatantly than ever as selfish and unjust as any other empire, not some exceptional democracy seeking a better world. We won’t even keep our people healthy!

Trump’s bullying of allies, and his bizarre, possibly dementia-caused conduct and verbiage, has everyone worried. Europe has made noises toward an independence defense force, partly because Trump’s Putin-crush undermines US. support for Ukraine against Russian aggression, which endangers Europe too.

Garnering fewer headlines is Canada’s Trump-inspired declaration of independence from the US. NORAD and other common defense activities have been unusually close, cooperative, and efficient. Now, however, Canada has not only announced big-time defense-spending, it is dealing with European entities, and refusing to use US.-made systems the US. could help run. Canada will own the intellectual property. That is, in a pinch, while Canada may share information with us, we won’t be getting that information automatically and running the system. In a smaller and smaller world, with climate craziness melting northern ice, that’s a whole area of security we had a great handle on as long as Canada trusted us; but who would trust Trump? Even if one wanted to dismiss his “I’ll make Canada our 51^st State” [presumably with two senators, like Wyoming] rhetoric as age-related and innocent, when he combines it with invading another nearby country, without lawful basis, and threatening others . . . man, I’d want my own defense system. I might need it against the US.!

None of this makes the US. “great.”
