Can't stop chewing on what little information is available to us. I suspect the defense "case" is grandiose. Nurmi characterizes it as Arias litigating her issues rather than Arias mitigating her moral culpability. There is that, plus the amount of time she has all along planned to be in front of the jury. Factor in the evident stand-off between the two, counsel & client, circa October 20, when she wanted to free herself from him once again. Someone was in favor of the recent legal lunge for power and control, and someone wanted to sit this out with Willmott. There is balance, equity and prudence, and then there is what we seem to have with this over reach as October became November. Nurmi may have provided assurances regarding his strategy going forward but dealt with an obstreperous client not about to be convinced of the worth of anything but what she had in mind. If they arrived at this pass with a shared plan, she would not have pulled away from him just days before. Therefore, she seems to have won, only to lose.
