I agree. As much as I disagree with some of her trial tactics, Regan is doing a thankless job. Being a public defender is difficult, and you often have no respect for the very necessary job that you do. I can't think of one attorney who would disrupt a trial like this unless they were truly ill - she has spent hours and months preparing for this and wrangling what has likely been an extremely difficult client on a very bad case. While I disagreed with her tactics, the truth is that she didn't blow the case and is worrying about it now. There was never much of a case to begin with. The only things she has wiggle room on are the robbery, the rape charge, and perhaps getting a lesser degree of murder.
I find it unfair to make fun of the woman for doing her job, and doing it vigorously. Too often, you hear of public defenders who have become burnt out, and urge any and all clients to take a deal. Regan has been fully engaged in this case, while I think criticism of her trial tactics is fair, making fun of her for doing her job or becoming ill just doesn't seem right to me. :twocents:
