This is bad news any way you shake it for the defense. |
Those of us who watched him in the courtroom know that win or lose, he is one of the best trial lawyers in the country. |
To my knowledge, there's never been a case reversed or stayed because of a venue issue. |
What happens is, subordinates start covering up for their bosses. They circle the wagons to avoid implicating in this case Cheney or Bush. |
While the prosecution has said this is about the defendants' lies, one worries that those lies already have been buried under too much discussion of technical issues. The jury may be lost already. |
Whoever goes first in making their case gets to shape the initial impression a jury gets. That's why you can't wait. You have to begin your case during cross. |
You cannot be disappointed when you walk out the front door and not into a holding cell. If Mr. Kaufman is disappointed, I am the tooth fairy. |
