Sarasota News Leader September 6, 2013 Page 15 The News Leader was unsuccessful in reaching Talman's attorney, Public Defender Patricia Edwards, for a comment. Additionally, with the case going to trial, Gambert said, the state has amended one charge against Talman. A count of DUI Property Damage has been changed to DUI and Serious Bodily Injury in regard to the 2012 incident's effects on Talman's passenger, David J. Brewer of Sarasota. Evidence in the case indicated "that was the appropriate charge," Gambert noted. As for the actual trial date: Because the docket for the week of Nov. 12 will be a full one — the courts are closed for Veterans Day, Nov. 11 — Gambert anticipates the Talman case will not begin until Nov. 18. Blake Talman was treated for injuries at the hospital before he was booked into the Sarasota County Jail in January 2012.
