He could do a lot of things differently. Dwell on making BPD into a mental illness.
But what does he do? He tries is very best to classify Travis as deserving of being slaughtered.
He even rearranges what all was said in the first trial and now says Arias shot Travis first while he was in the shower. Where did that come from for it sure isn't based on the evidence or even his client's lies during the guilt phase.
There is an ethical way to question someone and show decency and respect toward the witnesses. Some of the best crossexaminers I have seen are defense attorneys and they never get down and dirty with any of the witnesses and treat them like they are on a boat full of sailors. But they have the ability to remain respectful at all times yet succeed in getting what they want out of each witness.
He doesn't have to get down in the gutter and ask the witness hypothetical filthy repulsive things that don't even exist.
He is much more vulgar and offensive than the sex tape between Travis and JA and he is liking every minute of it, imo."
I brought this over from last night because what you say here, OBE, is so very astute and critical to how he's going to proceed, starting today, I think. And I believe we're going to see just how vulgar and reprehensible this DT can be. They're going to take us to the depths of JA's depravity, and blame it on everyone else, except her, imo. She will not be denied her vengeance!
Hold fast, because this is going to be the mother of all storms, and we will be seething before long. jmho
