As long as we're on the topic (since this bothers me as well) ... would of, could of, etc., as opposed to would have or could have (or would've or could've). I know the words sound the same, but...
This absolutely drives me nuts!

So I just got my book. I read the section where KN talks about his first impressions of JM.
I could barf.
He says JM is an "ends justifies the means" type of guy. Hello pot? It's the kettle....
Then he talks about some time JM supposedly made up a story that a defendant was a necrophiliac without any such evidence just so the guy would get the death penalty. Oh you mean like you, Nurmi, and your pedo lie? I don't believe it about JM but whatever.
And according to the foreword KN failed the bar exam the first time he took it. I did not know that.
Off to start at the beginning. Sigh. If there is anything anyone wants to know please let me know. THe book is in 51 chapters and the table of contents is petty detailed so I may be able to find info if you have a particular question.
Apology accepted. The discussion in main came up during the time of their testimony. We (or at least I) was trying to understand their psychology. I concluded that they were anachronistically clinging to an early thread of feminism from a time when such radicalism was useful to awaken society from its long-habitual patterns and attitudes that made genuine inequality accepted and unquestioned, that in the beginnings of feminism that attitude, while not, even at the time, being fully correct or legitimate, did serve a useful purpose in breaking the natural inertia of societies resistance to change, but that also the time for such a divisive view of the issue has passed, while people like ALV and Fonseca cling to it for purposes of personal power.Sooooorrrry! Point well taken! My goof!
On the other point, but not in defense of my indefensible reading, I don't remember discussing ALV's and Fonseca's radical feminism before, but I have noticed, since our discussion has become fast-paced, that thoughts are echoed later by other posters as though they are novel points of view. The idea that the "advance glimpse" of Nurmi's book are a parody was claimed by several posters. So I can see that my handle might have become attached to a diatribe against radical feminism and ALV/Fonseca.
Apologies again: I appreciate your perspectives.
Yes, it's supposed to be out on Kindle next week.
I will be looking forward to your extracts from the book, and then i'll probably bite the bullet and buy it to.
Gotta admit, I do like the cover.
A slightly older family member would be easy to figure out wouldn't it? And were they holding their breath during the super secret testimony, never knowing what Jodi would do or say.
Thanks for the offer P&GMom. Does he mention anything about the phone magically being found by Aunt Sue?
This absolutely drives me nuts!
Exactly as many have said about his client. If she had taken responsibility and showed genuine remorse, she would not be so reviled. Have only read the snippets, but it sounds to me as if he's offering excuses for his behavior, primarily blaming JA for all of it. Maybe he'll come through in the other books, but until I hear something from him about regret for making the choices he made and an apology directed toward TA's family and friends, the rest just adds a bit of pity to my disgust. He didn't just defend his client, he allowed himself to be used as a puppet for JA's evil intentions toward TA's memory and those who he loved.
For me, I think I know who KN is implying. I also believe she is a damned liar and it never happened... well, I know she is a proven liar in most everything else.
But, he's expecting to rise above himself with this book, and he will only succeed in very publically failing, as so far has been shown.So many people buying his book, it makes my heart cry. He will be laughing all the way to the bank. But not with one dime of my money.
Don't forget what he did to the Hughes, lying to them about the pedo letter when he knew full well they were forgeries. That is not a zealous defense that is slimy, corrupt, unethical and most likely illegal behavior and I for one am not ever going to forget it. Until he apologizes to the Hughes and the rest of us for that act and the Alexander Family, I won't cut him NO SLACK. He is despicable.
Just that they "thought" the phone had been stolen from the truck but "a family member" (never referenced by name) found it.
The book really jumps around so if I see another mention of it I'll let you know.
And properly impeaching sloppy work and questionable ethics is dirty pool if Nurmi is paymaster. Thanks for clearing that one up Nurmi.p. 136: "One thing I will say about Mr. Martinez, in terms of the hours he put in for his salary, and only in those terms, the taxpayers were getting their money's worth." (emphasis mine)
Oh please, how dare you.
Nurmi also takes great umbrage that Juan tried to undermine Dr. Samuels, calling Samuels the kindest person he knows. To Nurmi, questioning his witnesses is apparently a big no-no.

Hmmm, can you say who you think she is? Or give some hints?
IMO, her older brother but with her, who knows. What do you mean by "she"?
I believe their "intentional" misspelling of "angle" is mocking some of the support sites grammar, they do so quite often. :laughing:
Both sides knew the letters were forgeries. How would it benefit Juan to have false evidence admitted?? He'd have to shoot it down easily, but the proverbial "bell' would have been rung. Why plant the suggestion in the jurors minds that he was a pedo to begin with??
He had much bigger issues than Jodi being a forger. He didn't need them, just like he got her convicted without the stalker evidence. She is much more than just a murderer- she is a stalker, a forger, a con artist, a thief, a liar... but you can't give her more punishment than she received other than death.
