This is why I think he is on cocaine. I mean it fits the bill doesn't it. High powered lawyer not really making rationale decisions. Very strange behavior. I guess he thought people would like WR enough not to convict her in the face of that HUGE evidence. AND - what was up with that "I was learning for a movie role" tripe

they bring the court - or they being the attys in voir dire

most attys do not like other attys because we tend to be too analytical, etc.

Yes, I would have to agree!

What ever happened about candor toward the tribunal?

Maybe he thinks it is damage control in some sort of tell the press and then spin it kind of way. I mean the press has power - no question about it. But, they also love to feed on what they have built.

Yes, I heard that the jury had issues with how slow and methodical he was with the evidence. So who knows.

Yeah, kind of like the boat stunt that Mr. G pulled this week . . .

and they asked for the instructions again a few days after the initial instructions. To me, that suggests they want to convict but do not want to run afoul of the law, etc. But, ass with any jury, it could mean anything as they are next to impossible to predict, esp. in a case like this where there is really no direct evidence - but he sure seems guilty.

Yeah, I think he did it.

And those phone calls with Amber Frey . . . what a bastard.

Hmmn, that's exactly what i thought when i first read the description of how he is. Drug of choice for lawyers, i swear, too. Also, they can usually afford it

I tend to take the position that they were irrelevant once the affair had been ackhowledged - I mean what did they add to that fact other than to inflame the jury? I say this not knowing what all the calls said mind you.
