But there is a defense. JT is no idiot and I fancy myself that I'm not either, it's clear to me he's keeping anyone from saying anything that might make defending at trial more difficult, even keeping the boys from being swabbed (for now) and that's what he's good at. Fine.It is complicated and multifaceted. We can start with the fact that JT is an attorney. His role is to be an attorney and to provide legal advise to the best of his knowledge, for the best interest of the family. Right now there are no charges against them, so there is no defense. They need representation as any missing child case is a legal matter, therefore requiring legal representation. It is a matter of the times we live in.
What about Lisa though?
And DB and JI do not need a lawyer in order to exercise their right to keep silent wrt LE.
My God, the last thing I'd give a damn about is my rights anyway. But then again I only have one child and no others to think about, so I can say, well, of course they need a lawyer: but do they need one who is so blatantly defense strategy focused?
IDK, but I think they'd be smarter to thank JT but send him on his way. Talk about tainting a jury pool against someone...JT's name is still followed by a blurb about Joran Van Der Sloot.
He's just not a good fit for grieving parents of an abducted baby.
IMO
