I thought it a bit odd that CS was announcing daily press releases, tours of the home, etc. Her intentions may have been good-hearted to help the perception of the family in the community, but there's a fine line between appropriate media interaction and overexposure.
In high profile cases, every word, sigh, body movement is scrutinized. With each statement, presser, tour, interview, you risk your message being misconstrued or twisted. In advocating for a client publicly, you need to be able to control the message.
Regardless JT's reasons for representing the family (and considering the role of an attorney is to protect clients), I think it was a good decision not to allow those things to happen. That's not to say it's necessarily in Lisa's best interests - unfortunately, her best interests and those of his clients may not be one and the same.
That said, it's a shame CS is off the case completely since she has an easy, earnest manner about her and could have been a big help to the family in dealing with local media and the community.
