Sharethe Light, I think that you may be misinformed on the pro bono comment..
Depending on the state, the attorney fees can run into the million$, especially should this evolve into a homicide/death penalty case...
Weirdest thing. If I do a right click, copy link location and paste it in the URL line, it works. Clicking does not.I got a Page Not Found....is it that way for everyone as well?
But if a defendant qualifies for a PD the private attorney would be doing it pro bono. I guess it would depend how much time it consumes to defend the person whether or not it's good for the practice. I agree though most criminal defense attys enjoy high profile limelight.
The fact that hers has already given a statement makes me wonder if he volunteered or was chosen.

I am 10 pages behind, so this may have already been addressed. You are right about pro bono work. A good many attorneys almost have to do pro bono cases. Not sure why... wish we had an attorney posting so he/she could explain.
How many folks think that Heather Elvis's investigation would be getting this much ms media attention, investigative resources, and judicial activity without the tremendous amount of community awareness created by the family, internet & other social media, friends, and complete strangers?
I swear if I saw her on the street I would never have recognized her as Tammy Moorer. She looks totally different than the pics on her facebook account. Amazing really.
Does it matter to the public if the defense attorney is an assigned PD or a private attorney working pro bono?
Personally, I hope that all defendants get a great defense so when their convicted there's little chance of them getting their conviction overturned on appeal.
That's just my opinion. Some people may see it differently.
Thank you.
Does J Reuben post the height/weight of inmates?
I think the amount of media coverage is due to Heather being an attractive, middle-class young woman, and the circumstances of the case being sensational, and involving a love triangle.
I think they do it to be nice, give back and it also helps younger attorneys get more court exposure. Someone trying to make a name for themselves will want to be in court often.
All JMO
I think it has more to do with what the family of a missing person does, and how they work to get information out. Poor people don't always have the time or means to do that. Bob Harrod is not an attractive, middle class young woman, and he gets plenty of coverage.I think the amount of media coverage is due to Heather being an attractive, middle-class young woman, and the circumstances of the case being sensational, and involving a love triangle.
eileenhawkeye, I honor & respect your opinion but disagree. The Elvis family has been the primary catalyst for the tremendous awareness in her case. Not every missing/murdered person has a loving & caring family with the creativity, resources(sign shop), decision making ability, and community involvement that HE has.
The Elvis came off the ground running, imo. They realized from the very beginning that this was not going to be a sprint, but a marathon.. I applaude their tenacity, perserverence, and stamina.. I would like to think that I could, but I don't think that I couldn't keep up their pace for over two months without an implosion..

Does the guy have any acting credits in school or community theatre? I bet this is the work of T. Maybe she was moving from rock stars to movie stars.
Has anyone uncovered anything about her former rock star life? I'm thinking band groupie.
