Excellent post, as always, Marspiter. Even if one takes the defense's allegations as 100% true; (which I do NOT); they are not so far alleging the prosecution fabricated evidence, iirc. Great point; great catch!
I think I misunderstood the post and maybe you did as well. A later post indicated it was a big case 1997-2001 so maybe affecting today's jury pool wasn't meant to be implied.
As I wrote, I vaguely remember it from around 10 years ago; my mom didn't recall it today when I asked. Have I misunderstood what you're suggesting? I thought you were implying it's a big deal today and affecting the jury pool today. However, even way back when, I still think there were a lot...
Can't wait to read that 5 page response by Ashton, heh heh heh.

ITA although I don't live in the "sprawl" I do shop in Tampa and Orlando fairly regularly or go to the convention center in Orlando or the Tampa Zoo and often listen to local news for those areas. My mom is in a suburb and I just called and asked her if she'd ever heard of the case. Nope.
In the OP there are links to the discussion in the old thread on this term. I was unable to find a single criminal case citing this term or the variations I tried. (There are some civil cases.) Even so, processing a crime scene is hardly destroying evidence. The defense filed an emergency...
I disagree with your view of Tampa and Orlando being nearly joined. It's quite a drive along I-4 to get to Orlando and a lot of it is pretty desolate; or at least it was the last time I was through there a few months ago.
As for the case you reference, well, the publication you referenced...
I understand what you're saying, I think but the thing is, we do try to convict those that are guilty. That we sometimes fall short of that goal should not mean that all guilty go free. To protect society the guilty must be punished and/or permanently removed from society. Also to protect...
With all due respect, I must strongly disagree with your first paragraph. JB got a law degree and even managed to pass the bar. (Finally.) You are easily "smart enough" but maybe haven't had the time or inclination before now.
But I do agree with your second paragraph just as strongly as...
I don't think the state has ever given specific reasons other than "new evidence" which many of us, myself included, believe came from the remains/remains site, especially the duct tape placement over mouth and nasal cavities. That screams "murder" to me and may very well have to the state.
You would have read the entire case and at least some of the cases that followed that cited Youngblood to have a full understanding. They didn't. It's like them citing over and over again that "dp cases are different" as if anyone is disputing it. What you're "not getting" imo is the sloppy...
Glad you came back to us! And thanks for looking up the case. That's something I've noticed with the defense all along; when they bother to cite a case, it generally doesn't stand for what they seem to think it does. That's been a regular feature of their pleadings along with supporting docs...
First they have to find a rabbit... then they have to catch it... then they have to get it into the hat in order to be able to pull it out. I'm not seeing any indication they even know what a rabbit is; or even a hat for that matter!
That a third party is there, the A's, means there is no privilege. Privilege is between the client and the attorney; not the client, the attorney and all passersby. :)
I think it's more about getting their stories straight without an attorney present cos the attorney has that ethical obligation to not allow them to perjure themselves.
ETA: On the other hand, I also think it's likely that AL is trying to get through to KC and mistakenly thinks her family...
