and/or two missing left shoes.
IIRC, he originally hired them, then had no money to pay them and since they were already on the case they were allowed to stay on. (Or am I thinking of a different case?)
Of course Brad would be a subject of interest since he was the last person to see her alive, and the person who couldnt be ruled out as the investigation continued...LE with each turn just couldnt rule him out?
Just as an aside..ALL suspects who give alibi's have to have that alibi clearified..just words by whomever the suspect is is NOT enough to clear them..In domestic murder cases, the significant other is always the first subject to be looked at..As Investigations continued..Motives came up, suspicions by Nancy's friends, and unusual behaviors prior to Nancy going missing..just fueled the fire against Brad.
the old " Walks like a Duck, Quacks like a Duck" seems to fit..tho it must be the jury who decides..:twocents:
I would expect them to make that claim. IMO, it's all they've GOT to claim. All this tedious testimony is backing up the FACT they pursued ALL theories. Defense is NOT proving their claim.

I've always thought Brad's choice of counsel matched his own arrogance. If you're charged with first degree murder, you get the best you can get. Someone like Joe Cheshire or Wade Smith. Smith was out since Alice Stubbs is in the same practice. Kurtz & Blum categorize themselves as drug defense attorneys first, before traffic violations, DUI, shoplifting, etc. Oh, then they say "serious felonies, including homicide." I would conclude that Brad thinks he is smarter than law enforcement and prosecution, and probably likes the belligerent approach that K&B has taken from the beginning of the case. Different strokes, I guess, but I would prefer a whole bunch of experience on my side if I was facing life in prison.

Brad Cooper began LYING to the police investigating his missing wife DAY ONE. Why is it so hard to believe the police want to know WHY he's lying? WHY he didn't seem to CARE his wife was missing?Wow! We are watching two different trials eh? Because the search warrants all basically start on the 15th and every single one has to do with Brad Cooper and Brad Cooper only and I would lay a large amount of dough on their being very little other investigation into anything but Brad. Again, I'm not convinced this is the wrong approach, but it is clearly the approach they took.
I saw on golo where people were saying he was a respectable lawyer.
Could that be because there were no other suspects?

Believe Kurtz was appointed as BC could not afford a defense attourney.
You're right, I think the defense started on this road of 'never considered anyone else' when the chief of police went in front of the media 1-2 days after she was found and said it wasn't a random crime when the investigation just started.

If it were possible for ANY LE agency to conduct a full investigation the first week, we would have been to trial with this case two years ago, IMO. I believe if CPD had a RELIABLE tip concerning sightings they would have followed up immediatly. The fact is, they DID eventually interview all witnesses concerning sightings.I'm sorry...but following up with people that claimed to see her running several months after reporting it (and reporting it while it was actually a missing person case) is not pursuing all theories. You would think that you would want to get statements from potential eye witnesses as soon as possible.
