I love how he shut down all media interviews right after he obviously coached the mother to "admit" to being drunk that night. What excellent timing! Alibi that can't really be checked unless it's in the police report from that night. Good luck tomorrow at the GJ, DB.
 
Bringing this over from the presser thread:

JMO,but we see the same attorneys popping up on tv in highly publicized cases. It's not about justice ,it's about publicity. That predictor seems to stay the same .

I think this is a cycle, to some extent. You have a highly successful attorney, so they have the capital to take a publicized case at a reduced fee or pro bono. The exposure they get from the case generates more revenue by additional clients. Therefore, they have even more capital, and thus can take the next case at a reduced fee or pro bono. It's a bit of an endless loop because most attorneys do not have the free-floating capital to take these types of cases.
 
The news of JT being hired by these parents has crushed my hopes that baby Lisa will be found alive. Unfortunately, I feel like the circus has only begun. Reminds me of another case of a little baby left out in the woods (literally and figuratively), the parent/grandparents put all the attention on themselves, causing the little baby to never, ever receive justice. :furious: :furious: :furious: Seems like a CYA movement....

JMO and a very sad one indeed.
 
Only thing I'll say for now is

Boy, this guy is very media saavy.
 
Does anyone know when he was hired? Yesterday? On the weekend?

Can I LMAO? I knew I knew his name from another case. I asked hubby.... guess who's representing the parents of Lisa Irwin? His immediate response: Geragos. Where's Baez when you don't need him? Oh, he's in Aruba.

Something still smells bad with this baby's disappearance.

Nope. Not in Aruba. He was busy last night having dinner with Barbara Wah-Wah and celebrating his birfday!

Seemed pretty obvious Barbara was trying to butter Jose up to score the first interview with Casey Anthony -- but Jose tells us, “Last night was not about [Casey], we were all discussing the play (Man and Boy). Frank Langella was captivating!”

Right Jose...we believe ya'll were having dinner to talk about some play. And I have a bridge for sale.

Carry on...

Ex-Van der Sloot attorney Joe Tacopina says parents of missing Kansas City baby have hired him
Missing baby's family hires Van der Sloot attorney

I thought baby Lisa was snatched out of her crib...as in kidnapped. Why does drunk mommy need such a high powered defense attorney?

More here: http://www.newser.com/article/d9qe8...-missing-kansas-city-baby-have-hired-him.html

Drunk "Mommy" needs a high powered defense attorney because Drunk "Mommy" ain't so innocent.

Now I'm wondering if this is a case of Murder or Child Negligance (sp)? or maybe Manslaughter?
 
Well that was quick. Ol' Wild Bill is gonna hit the road I guess. I wonder if he'll take his friends big reward with him.

As Tacopina steps in, celebrity private investigator ‘Wild’ Bill Stanton announced he will be stepping down.

“I have accomplished what I’ve come to do,” Stanton said, “but I’m not leaving this case completely.”

As for what he accomplished, Stanton did not elaborate

I, too, would like to know what he accomplished. He said he was there for the truth!
 
Bill Stanton: he came, he saw, he.......went away.

Can police talk to mom/dad? Tacopina basically says he'll decide that. So he has to believe police are acting in good faith.

Coincidence they hire attorney day before GJ?
Click to expand...

Was he in fact hired today? Or on the weekend or earlier? And no, I don't think it's a coincidence that he is appearing now. I don't think he's damage control for all of the media interviews this morning. I think he created that damage. JMO
 
After hearing JT's ignorant comments to (or about) LE, I'm hoping LE lets Joe know who really runs things in this town. I'm viewing this as JT makeing a big mistake.

imo
 
Is this guy supposed to be representing mom or dad? He shouldn't represent them both as they could have comflicting interests. I'm sure he knows that.

The "family" had been speaking with JT for a week, I think, so I'm sure that he was involved in orchestrating the media blitz this morning. I was :eek: that they were already looking to hire an attorney when Baby Lisa had been missing for only a week. It was obvious from the unfolding of today's events that this was a public relations strategy to promote sympathy for the grieving mom who is under a tremendous amount of daily stress in her life, taking meds for it, and drinking to excess at times by her own admission. I'm not feeling the least bit sorry for DB right now, and I'm aghast at the way that the disappearance of a child is being turned into yet another media circus. Missing children seems to have reached epidemic proportions, and too many people are cashing in on these sad situations. jmo
