He is a gasbag, who likes the sound of his voice. I made the mistake of listening to part of his motion arguments and he is the cliche of the a certain type of criminal lawyer. His argument about the gag order was one long whine, with some threats thrown in, concluding in "you can't make me, I won't do it, because I have to do it anyway."
Does Pattis seriously think he is going to raise so much cain in the media that the State will conclude it lacks sufficient evidence to charge his client with murder? That's just crazy! Yet, he acts like he must defend his client's honor to the press, or, or, or... what? His client will get charged with the very crime he acknowledges is certainly coming?
And why on earth did Pattis think it was a good idea to shout,"Bring it on"? It was downright sad, a meaningless shout of frustration in the face of a growing avalanche of evidence. Dulos is clinging to Pattis with all he has, though. I am beginning to sense a real panic coming from Dulos; he is doubting his plan, wondering if it is all about to crash in a spectacular way.
The answer, of course, is yes. I think MT has told LE she saw Dulos coming from the woods in the afternoon of the 24th. Remember how LE was looking back there with MT shortly after her release from jail? Then there is the poison ivy which had to come from somewhere. We can only hope and wait. No matter what, though, Pattis is not going to media blitz his client's way out of a murder charge. No way, no how.
Since there is no death penalty in CT, will there come a point when Dulos accepts his fate and enters a plea? Some fathers would do so to spare their children all the ugliness of a trial. Since I believe Dulos is a malignant narcissist, I doubt he will. Is there enough money or (if Pattis is dumb) enough press for Pattis to stay in the case? I have no idea.
