4Jacy, see Atthelake's explanation above.
Andrea was called by the prosecution; she was NOT a defendant at that point. The prosecutors in this case were EXTREMELY clever, as they gave no indication during Hemy's trial that Andrea would be prosecuted too and wanted her to talk and talk and talk under oath, on the record, WITHOUT invoking her Fifth Amendment so they can lock her into a story. Geary's questioning style was PERFECT for this purpose.
Enter Robert James for State v. Andrea Sneiderman. He's Martinez-esque as far as quick-on-his-feet, in your face, rapid-fire questions, knows the case inside and out. He's got a lot of charisma and is extremely likable. He has that old-school Defender of Truth air to him. He's the type that is just chomping at the bit to get a shot at cross-examining Andrea. He is the perfect choice to mete out justice for Rusty Sneiderman and his family.
I've been a court reporter for 15+ years, so I've seen a lot of attorneys' examination styles under a lot of different circumstances and it still fascinates me.
And quite easy on the eyes too. :blushing::blushing::blushing: He is adorable to say the least.
