Schnader Attorney At Law

Silver Featured in Article on Rolan Case
Samuel Silver was featured in an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer, “Murder Retrial Begins for Former Death-Row Inmate.” The article discusses the retrial of the Commonwealth v. Florencio Rolan case, which promises that jurors will hear the previous testimonies of deceased witnesses, as well as testimonies from current “aging” witnesses.

The new trial was ordered in 2006 by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit because of inadequate legal services provided by Mr. Rolan’s previous defense attorney during his 1984 trial regarding the May 1983 murder of Paulino Santiago. Mr. Rolan was convicted in 1984 and sentenced to death for the Santiago shooting, but he won a new sentencing hearing and in 2003 was resentenced to life in prison. The prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Mark Gilson, alleges that after an argument between the parties, Mr. Rolan obtained a rifle, proceeded to follow Mr. Santiago into an abandoned house a block away, and shot him.

In Mr. Rolan’s defense, Sam stated that Mr. Santiago, who had been drinking heavily, entered the abandoned house “brandishing a knife and threatening to kill Florencio Rolan.” Sam also mentioned that deceased witness Daniel Varagas’ testimony would validate his argument.

Pierce & Atwood, L.L.P.

Pierce Atwood celebrates successful completion of Bulgarian Energy Regulatory Assistance Project
Under contract to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Pierce Atwood served for more than three years as full-time energy regulatory development advisor to Bulgaria’s independent State Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (“SEWRC”). Pierce Atwood’s work involved support of the SEWRC as it transformed from a new and inexperienced regulatory agency to an effective and well functioning European Union Member State national energy regulator. Pierce Atwood provided hands-on training in-country as well as exposure to international experience through study tours and seminars; drafted rules of practice and procedure; served as a ready resource to address controversial issues as they arose, from customer complaints on service quality to proposed legislation limiting SEWRC’s authority; developed tariff methodologies and facilitated review of proposed tariffs; drafted rules, laws, model contracts, and licenses; and generally focused on helping SEWRC fulfill its responsibilities through effective and transparent processes and procedures. A key focus of Pierce Atwood's assistance was supporting the Government of Bulgaria in the privatization of its power assets, involving over $1 billion USD in privatization agreements and private sector investment.
Throughout the course of the project, Pierce Atwood attorneys John Gulliver and Elizabeth Butler traveled extensively to Bulgaria to assist the Commission in its work. On December 8, 2006, Project Manager John Gulliver spoke at the close-out ceremony in Sofia, attended by SEWRC Commissioners and staff, members of Bulgaria’s Ministry of Economy and Energy and USAID officials.
