There's been some bouncing back and forth between "it's the judge" vs "it's the system" frequently.
People like Laurence know how to play the system and it's made to work in the defendant's favor (innocent until proven guilty and so on). So of course there's some of both.

Respectfully Snipped & BBM:
This is JMO, but I have been wondering IF Nurmi has had some "outside" help on this case ?
In other words, I do not believe Nurmi is that smart, and he is certainly not impressive in the courtroom. I wonder IF some of the DP opponents have gave Nurmi suggestions/strategies on issues such as: how to get the DP off the table, how to delay, how to get a mistrial, etc ? Oh, and I don't mean someone like a Baez, who only got lucky with a brainless jury.
Nurmi is up against one of the best prosecutors in the country, and he is certainly NO match for Juan Martinez !
Yet Nurmi has been able to delay this re-trial way past the Dec 18 deadline, got JSS to agree to allow CMJA testify in private which is against the Constitution ... then you have the computer fiasco ... and y'all know all the rest of Nurmi's BS tactics.
And yep, JSS's lack of control of her courtroom has contributed to the problem !
There is no doubt Juan can handle Nurmi and the DT's BS ... but these stunts Nurmi has pulled and will continue to do is totally and completely unfair to Juan !
I am tired of the favoritism that exists in that courtroom for the defense and no consideration for Juan and the Alexander Family !
:gaah:
