Fight during Ivan eve becomes a court matter for legal eaglets Like many Pensacolians, Robert Seymour and his guests were trying to relax as Hurricane Ivan approached. "People were having a couple of cocktails," recalled Seymour, who had invited his girlfriend and four other people to stay at his Cordova Park ear in an altercation with his girlfriend's son, Dustin J. Rieder, 22.

Rieder went on trial this week, charged with battery. The trial took place in Escambia County Court, where misdemeanor cases are tried. It's also where young prosecutors and defense attorneys get their first taste of legal combat, which sometimes resembles lawyers on training wheels. In this case, the trial could have been over in half the time, except for lengthy arguments by Rieder's lawyer. Brian Ussery, and periodic objections by Assistant State Attorney Kelly Hill.

At one point, Ussery ran afoul of Judge Jim Roark. "That's a totally inappropriate question," said Roark, who repeatedly called the attorneys aside to confer outside the jury's hearing. On the bright side, new lawyers must learn sometime, and county court is the best place for rookie mistakes. (I'd hate for someone to dig up my first columns and republish them.) The lawyers also were backed up by more experienced attorneys, who sat nearby and advised them. And eager new lawyers are far preferable to burnt-out husks going through the motions.

This case was a matter of he-said, he-said. Seymour said Rieder attacked him; Rieder said Seymour attacked him. Seymour, 47, said he argued with Rieder's mother, Tracy Laird, because she woke him up. Laird left the bedroom and began crying. Seymour said Rieder entered the bedroom, accused him of striking his mother and threw a picture frame that struck him on the ear.

Rieder said he merely asked Seymour if he had hit Laird. Rieder said Seymour shoved him first, they be gan struggling, and Rieder hit him with the frame in an effort to escape. Laird said her son may have "misinterpreted" her tears. Seymour and another guest struggled to subdue Rieder while Laird repeatedly assured her son she hadn't been struck. "When it sank in, he immediately calmed down," Laird said.

Seymour gave a similar account. "Somewhere along the way, he realized I didn't hit his mother," Seymour said. "It was too late. I kicked him out of my house." In closing arguments to the jury, Hill and Ussery debated the credibility of the witnesses. "Mr.

Seymour was in a highly agitated state that night," Ussery said. "Mr. Seymour did not do anything to provoke the defendant," said Hill, who had more poise than you might expect from a prosecutor handling only her third jury trial. Maybe it was the evidence. Maybe it was the arguments.

And maybe it was beginner's luck. But in any event, Ussery won his first jury trial, and the defendant was acquitted. home Sept. 15. Late that evening, he went to the bedroom to sleep before Ivan arrived.

"I wanted to have a clear head when this thing hit," Seymour said.
