There is another problem with defense attornies being allowed to manufacture and fabricate and that is that people like me, who have developed an incredible mistrust of defense attornies, would tend to be hypercritical of what comes out of their mouth if I were to be seated on a jury. As someone who watches true crime shows, and used to listen to the nonsense those attornies on NG would spew, I have a bad taste about defense attornies in general. I see them along the same line as a used car salesman (or perhaps a bikini salesman).
The P12 were the exact opposite. Perhaps because some of them had prior records such as DUI and writing bad checks, they had more of a "you'll never catch me copper" attitude. In fact, I believe juror #5 who refused to look at Jeff during his closing arguments was one of those with a prior DUI.
BBM - Did anyone see that Janie Weintraub on JVM the night this was covered? She tried to put across the theory that the one hour in question could have been due to the computer having a daylight savings time glitch and they forgot to set the computer ahead by an hour. I mean... gosh. It sickens me how ridiculous some arguments can be.
