I love how you put exactly everything I think into words.
I agree this whole thing has been tragedy from all POV but for NoPa. If anyone is the winner here it is him because he will keep taking in $ and publicity. I am sure he will write a book at the very least.
This may be harsh but I blame him for FDs demise. If he had never put out those ridiculous theories and ran to the press with them then the majority of the public would not have heard anything about the case. Yes FDs image was tarnished by his own doing but NP sure did add to it.
NP was never interested in defending FD for the sake of an innocent man accused. He knew in his heart and head Fo did take Jennifer's life. But he saw a ticket to the big time hoping he would be catapulted into the superstar lawyer he wants to be.
I dk if it was even about getting paid by Fo it was more about what Fo could do for him than what he could do for Fo.
Thanks for the compliment.
I was quite angry when I wrote that post but now reading it again I think I would chose to end it slightly differently by using Atty. P.'s words that we have seen him repeat so many times in this case, namely,
"Shame on you"!
The Atty. P. Pattisville show was IMO shameful and unprofessional on so many levels but it was not just what they but how they did it and the fact that they did it in multiple courts using multiple attorneys and THERE WERE NO CONSEQUENCES from the CT Courts. Pathetic IMO.
Here are just some 'lessons' I learned from Pattisville and their brand of 'law':
-Not telling the truth while under oath on the stand is OK
-Not showing up for depositions multiple times is OK
-Not telling the truth while under oath in a deposition is OK
-Not submitting accurate information to the Court under order of the Court is OK
-Release of highly confidential personal information to the Press that is subject to Court Seal is OK
-Submitting false financial information to the Court is OK
-Talking over a Judge and being disrespectful in Court is OK
-Making disparaging remarks in open court about opposing Counsel is OK
-Victim shaming and blaming of a mother of 5 children as a defense tactic is OK
-Misrepresenting the truth to the Press and the Public is OK
-Violation of bond release terms is OK
-Leaking information from an ongoing investigation to a member/s of the Press is OK
-Posting bond of $6 million under what now appears to be largely fraudulent terms is AOK
I could go on and on. Early on in this case I kept a basic list of things I began to refer to as the "Pattisville Comments". When I started the list I did so because I was shocked at what was being released to the public by someone who in my mind was an Officer of Court as defense counsel. I had never heard comments such as those I heard from Atty. P. and his team and I wondered if they were a temporary thing or whether they would continue. Sadly they continued, even after the gag order. Over and Over and Over again.
This tragedy ended yesterday with Atty. P. per usual taking zero personal responsibility for any role in what played out here and instead he pointed the finger at the public and those in the social media world.
All I can say is that I hope Atty. P. simply takes a long hard look in the mirror at how EVERYTHING that we have seen sadly play out here was part of the "Atty. P. Greatest Show on Earth". Sure Fd had a role in determining how this sad show ended. But, Atty. P. had the ability to attempt to manage his client and his expectations IMO and I seriously question whether he or Atty Smith did so. We will never know the answers to any of these questions but I wanted to post about this simply to record what I believe we might have witnessed here in this tragic case.
MOO
