I think IS is making the most of what they have. The State is clearly taking the high road and steering clear of the media. This tactic says a great deal about their ethics and their confidence in their case.
Unfortunately, it leaves the DT a great deal of latitude to snatch up media appearances and in this case, with IS doing its best to ratchet up its viewership pre-trial, they were probably more than thrilled to have such an accommodating defense team willing to open their homes and share their opinions. If DT played by SA rules, they'd refuse interviews before trial so as not to sway potential jurors--and if SA played by DT rules, IMO, TruTV would be glad to have the SA on too.
(LOL CM now talking about rampant jealousy among other lawyers--oblique reference to two current media legal analysts who wanted to be on this team and were rejected so now they are being critical.)
