I'm not as sure as you are. PB gave Dawn three different stories that night and according to her none of them made sense.
I have seen this said numerous times and repeated by many. Yet, I have never seen what those stories are. Any idea what she is actually talking about? I certainly give a mother a lot of deference in a situation like this, but I also can't imagine everything that was going through her mind at the time. It is just very easy to say he told three different stories (and I'm not questioning her that he did) but if you're going to say that, why not say what those stories are. Any idea?
I live in Rochester and I can assure you he's a high priced lawyer. He also seems to like green more than anything. Almost every time a wealthy slimeball is in hot water his name pops up as their lawyer.
I don't doubt he made money. Running a law office is a business still. My only point is that there are different fees for different cases and much of it is dependent on how time consuming it will be. Handling an interview and a couple of pressers is not nearly as expensive as handling a full blown trial. That is my only point.
I could never sit on a jury if this guy was the defense attorney. I'd tell them straight out that any time Parinello's name comes up as the defending attorney I'm 99% sure his client is guilty. JMO
And if I were him I would thank you for your honesty. From what I gather about this guy, he doesn't care if that's people's opinions, but it is important that you are honest like that if you serve on a jury.
To your other point. I would go with my kid to the PD interview to make sure they don't brow beat him. I would let them ask almost any question unless it was a "Yes or no. Have you stopped beating your wife." type question. I would feel horrible for Brittanee's parents and want my son to be interviewed by cops so they can find out as much as possible. I'd also have grilled him myself before taking him to the cops. If he told me three stories that didn't make sense I'd take him right then and there.
If you go by yourself and they're over 18, I doubt they will allow you in the same room. Don't get me wrong, I'd go too, but I don't think simply having a lawyer sitting in the room as well raises any more suspicions than if I tell LE that I have to be in the room or we aren't talking. I would want my son to tell EVERYTHING he knows as well and I'd want him to take responsibility, but at the same time, if I had an inkling that he was involved, I'd absolutely want to make sure it was done right. I'd want a lawyer working out whatever deal he can get but at the end of the day, he'd take responsibility and talk to LE.
IMO, hiring a lawyer out of the gate means that you want him to assist you in not answering any questions that might incriminate you. Speaking personally I wouldn't hire a lawyer to help me hide anything.
Not true. I can understand that perception but it's simply not true. And I didn't say hire one to hide anything. Again, it is to have someone who is familiar with the setting and the rules guiding you along the way. That doesn't mean you're hiding anything. It means you know your rights aren't being infringed upon. Nothing more. Nothing less. Really not a big deal but smart.
The fact that he had to have his lawyer next to him for the Dr. Phil interview says a lot, IMO. The funniest thing to come out of that Dr. Phil episode, If you can consider anything about that funny, is PB is mad in part because the media spelled his name wrong. This is a very self absorbed human being. He never express' any genuine concern for her safety or whereabouts he's only there to tell people to spell his name right and there were three other people with him and he thinks it's unfair to single him out.
What it says to me is his lawyer likes the publicity. Lawyers like him jump at every opportunity to be on TV. I know someone that represented local LE. Every time there was an officer involved shooting, he was on scene. I don't know if it was to impress the clients, to get on TV or to shield the officers from the media (or all of the above) but I know he loved the TV. Did the fact that those officers had a lawyer AT THE SCENE of the shooting make them guilty of anything? Not a chance in hell. Don't think he ever had an incident of an unjustified shooting. He was simply there because it was the smart thing to do from the client's perspective.
