I would think this is a long shot, trying to get the Court of Appeals to stop this trial. The defense has a better chance of having a stay granted than winning on the merits of the claim. |
So far, the biggest surprise is how effective a job the government is doing. The case is stronger than I thought it would be. The witnesses have been more effective than I thought they would be. And the young prosecutors have more than held their own against the more experienced defense attorneys. |
The government better go to school and learn how confusing all that was for the jury. |
The problem with these types of witnesses is they can collapse like wet cardboard boxes. Inmate testimony doesn't have that great a ring of credibility. |
The trial court has already said it's a good-faith mistake. I think the Court of Appeals is not going to get involved in this. I think everybody realizes Harris County got hoodwinked as much as the defense did with Park Dietz's testimony. |
