I know what a lawyer does, but thanks. What I was saying, is that he blew it. The public thinks she knows, and he did not improve that. He seemed skeptical about the information he presented, which is not a good thing for his client. (And does not bode well for her, or his position representing her IMO.) If his goal was to tone down speculation, he did the opposite. His wordage was poor, his body language poor. I doubt he has a clue what, if any role she plays in this. It's not his job to determine guilt, I realize this. But he did nothing to make his client seem innocent to the speculative public. He seemed unsure if he even believed any of it. I'm simply saying it's not a confident look publicly. (And the "mourning" Sherin comment was a HUGE mistake. It was disgusting and I'm sure he regrets his wording.) He is known to be a very good lawyer here, so the whole thing was surprising from a local perspective. When people are left thinking, "Does he even believe his own client," after a very short presser...the mark was missed. He's a lawyer doing his job, I get it. I really do. But it was not convincing enough to change local opinions.
I have no idea if the mom will be implicated, I will leave that to LE. They have not implicated her that I know of, so I trust their current judgement on that. I do think she is key. The information that can hopefully be shared from her eventually will be very important. The local public has not been so...trustful of her. He should have done a better job for his client. He did not leave that presser with her looking better to the public. LE did not arrest her, but it's like it doesn't matter. People made up their mind and he didn't help her. He should have.
All JMO.
ETA: I want to be clear that I am not implying the mother hurt her child. I'm only speaking abut what the public is perceiving and how I don't' believe she was helped today the presser. I hope she has family she can perhaps stay with, so she is protected from public questioning.
