Cyndy Short Press Conference~31 October 2011

[SurfieTX]

Calls Lisa her "stolen little girl." Her team of 17 are sad they are not involved anymore. Whaaa...even if she is not able to see them or talk to them? She and JT were at odds.

 

[Bon]

Stolen baby.......................................she thinks they are innocent

 

[mysticrose]

Everything she has seen about the parents tells her that they are caring parents...

 

[JeannaT]

Ya'll are doing a MUCH better job than Brian Foster. Holy cow he's mistyping (not typos, wrong words) all over the place.

 

[luckyme]

logged in over 700 hours helping parents.

 

[SilkySifaka]

Tacopina problems. Couldn't co-exist.

wtf?? Before this started I said to myself "nah...attorneys don't cut down other attorneys so we won't hear anything about the leaving except generalities"

wtf:waitasec:

 

[SurfieTX]

She will still pay for the website and support the parents. She plans on getting back out into the community to talk to people to try to find tips to bring baby Lisa home.

 

[Wise Old Owl]

CS On

Plan is to make some statements then take questions.

Her team (we) want to thank everyone in KC that are helping in finding this little girl.

Her law firm has received many many supporters and that is very gratifying. Community and her team are praying that they have a happy ending.

Came on case 12 days ago, brought in 17 people pro bono to help parents and is very proud of their efforts. She got involved to stand up for Jeremy and Deborah. She is their advocate. To help this family find a little girl. Got involved because she saw a family that needed help and services. Have provided services through her office. Her team is very saddened that they are no longer serving the family. JT and her were not able to work as a team. Someone had to go and that someone was me.

She is no longer a liason between the family and the media, and the family and LE. DB and JI are a loving couple and have created a loving home. They are caring parents.

Going to continue to pay for and monitor the website. Her job now is to get back into the community and listen to people. Hopefully finding that someone with a tip that will lead to finding Baby Lisa.

 

[mysticrose]

She can not just walk away after embracing this family

 

[wfgodot]

Tacopina's decision she leave the case.

She was working the case while Tacopina was in Rome.

 

[SurfieTX]

Their approaches were very different (her's and JT). Her approach is to be on the ground, talk to people. Her interest was never the media. She thinks best way to find Lisa was feet on the ground.

 

[luckyme]

OH lordy!! She was working on ground and JT was in Rome.

 

[SurfieTX]

She thinks JT thought she would be "less aggressive."

 

[mysticrose]

JT asked her to leave the case. Their approaches are completely different, could not work together.

 

[luckyme]

He didnt want her doing any press. :floorlaugh:

 

[Wise Old Owl]

She thinks Tacopina didn't think she would be as aggressive as she was. Believes that when you work a case, you need to be on the ground and talking to real people instead of worried about the media.

 

[jjenny]

The reporter doesn't understand how JT could have fired her considering the only person who could fire her is the client.

 

[SurfieTX]

So, they DID know. CS said she talked to the family, expressed their mutual love for each other, but that they felt they needed to stay with Joe.

 

[mysticrose]

Parents feel that they needed to stay with Joe....

 

[gliving]

IMO She's a class act.
