But he didn't have any direct knowledge of her guilt or innocence when he was stating his opinions on the news! His former opinions are not evidence.
Yes, I see. Thanks. I guess I was expecting that since he is a an Attorney with many years of experience, he had formed his guilty opinion after reading the evidence. He was hardly a casual observer, his opinion was sought precisely because he is an expert.
I just find it odd that someone who makes public statements as to a persons guilt can be believed at all in the role of her defender.
