I completely agree with you -
IMO- Their constant "hey everybody - we are over here, listen to us, form opinions about us" sullied the jury pool, and served their agenda at that time - which was a full blown aquittal. They were not striving to avoid the death penalty - they wanted a not guilty. It seemed so inconceivable at that time, but we now know differently. There were several charges against whats her name, and if they were so concerned with the death penalty - they would of encourged her to take a plea. CM knew this, and in the midnight hour during the trial tried to get her to plea (JA's book detailed this).
But now, they are on the other side of that fence, and we won't forget what they said and did - and they can not rewrite it now.
I don't believe that the A's received the amount of $$$ that has been thrown around from Dr. P, they got some, but no where near that. Give it time, and we have plenty of that - one day one of these carnival barkers will talk for $$$, and then it will all come out as a flood of karma.
