LIVE: No Body, No Jury - FL v. Tomasz Kosowski - Day 1

Dr. Tomasz Kosowski, a Largo plastic surgeon, is on trial for his life in Pinellas County, Florida. The state says he killed attorney Steven Cozzi, the lawyer on the other side of a lawsuit Kosowski himself had brought, stopped defending, and was weeks from losing, back in March 2023, and that Cozzi has never been found, not a body, not a trace. Kosowski has sat in the Pinellas County Jail since his arrest that same month. In the years since he has fired four separate defense teams, one after another, and elected to represent himself at trial, with two of his former attorneys now serving only as standby counsel if he wants them. He waived his right to a jury for both phases of this case, guilt and, if it comes to that, penalty. That means if the state proves its case, one judge, Joseph Bulone, decides alone whether Kosowski spends the rest of his life in prison or is sentenced to death. No jury will ever be seated in this courtroom. No body has ever been recovered. A surgeon with everything to lose, defending himself, alone, against the full weight of the state. Kosowski has pleaded not guilty, and under the law he is presumed innocent unless and until the state proves otherwise, in front of Judge Bulone, in the Sixth Judicial Circuit at the Pinellas County Justice Center in Clearwater.

State of Florida v. Tomasz Kosowski. Pinellas County Circuit Court in Clearwater, Judge Joseph Bulone presiding. Kosowski faces one count of first-degree murder in the death of Steven Cozzi, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty even though no body has ever been found. Kosowski has waived his right to a jury for both the guilt and penalty phases, so Judge Bulone alone will decide the case, and he is representing himself pro se. Tomasz Kosowski is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. PLAYLISTS AND RESOURCES Website: https://justiceisaprocess.com/coverag...
