I still wonder whether a high-profile lawyer will sign onto this case. It is a huge local story, with the potential to be covered nationally. I wonder if they have been getting offers?
Then again, it seems like in most high-profile cases, the lawyers do not work pro-bono. Maybe a reduced fee, but it seems like there still needs to be some payment. We know that Anthony paid Baez using the media money, Zimmerman got thousands in donations for his defense, Terri Horman's parents took out a mortgage on their house or something like that to pay for her laywer, and so on...
Since there is a gag order - I would think any high profile attorneys who might have been interested - realize their ability to get paid via media stuff is now gone. That in and of itself might be why a Beaz-type won't be interested....
I do wonder, however, if there will be a chunk of insurance money coming - that COULD be used to swing bigger, better, attorney?
Truth is - I think they both have EXCELLENT attorneys (regardless of how they got them). SM's attorney is a respected attorney here.....as is TM's.
