It saddens me to see so many posts showing so little respect for the defense lawyers in this case. When a post in this forum mentioned the disqualified judge, tempers flared and a thread was closed. Many felt calling him a disqualified judge was disrespectful, although the term disqualified is clearly in a statute of Florida law. There have been a number of posts, not only in this thread, but in many others that are highly disrespectful and bordering on derogatory towards the defense lawyers. I realize we are all entitled to our own opinions, and many may have very low opinions of the defense lawyers, but does any poster here really believe that a child could put up a better legal strategy than CM and AL? Does any poster here really believe we should fall back to the 1800’s form a mob and get a rope? When any poster makes any kind of remark, even made in a respectful way, that shows LE, the prosecution, the prosecution friendly press people, or the court system, in a negative light, they are immediately and generally in large numbers met with opposing views. The same thing happens when anyone posts anything about the docs, statements etc. that may look bad for the prosecution. What generally ends up happening is someone gets timed out or banned, thread gets closed and whatever point that may look bad for the prosecution gets lost by the wayside. It may have been a legitimate point, and it may end up being a real problem for the prosecution during the trial. Because the thread was closed, and we never looked into it, we will be shocked at trial that we didn’t even talk about this point. Our toss rules say attack the post, not the poster, should the same rules not be true for those we talk about here that cannot defend themselves, should we not, attack the actions taken by the defense, not the lawyers themselves? I have respect for most of the Law and Order team, just as I respect most of the defense team. I think our whole forum loses out on valuable information when we do not show respect. Is it really that difficult to calmly and rationally debate differences of opinion, or does every thread that develops into a spirited debate have to turn into something akin to a barroom brawl where the bouncers (mods) have to start booting people, and close the bar (thread).
As for the legal defense strategies, JB seems to be continuing to strengthen his team. He started as KC’s lone attorney, and now has a team of very experienced lawyers. With the amount of experience these lawyers bring to the table, I am very confident they will be applying the best strategies that can be used in this case. They have a lot more knowledge about law in general than I or most posters have, and they have a lot more knowledge about what is going on in this case than any of us have. HHJP will not allow them to use strategies that will allow numerous appeals in this case, and they are well aware of that fact. I’m fairly certain they take that into consideration when they are drafting motions. They will not reveal what their overall strategy at trial will be until it comes time for the trial. What may seem totally foolish at this point, may come to light at trial as being a very savvy move. Do not be fooled by the defense’s antics, when the trial starts, you will be amazed by all the attorneys actions, on both sides of the courtroom. As always, my entire post is my opinion only.
