I'm not going to read anything into Sam's attorney's comments. I think they are defense attorneys with nothing else to say right now so all they want to do is try their best to submit to the possible jury pool that there is more to the story and their client than what is being reported in a sensational case(although I believe the sensationalism has been muted by LE and I give them credit for that).
Jose Baez is still saying there is a good reason for his client Casey Anthony to be out partying while her daughter has allegedly been kidnapped but he offers that it will "come out at trial" which it won't.
Defense attorneys can misrepresent things to the public, just not to the court so they are just doing their schtick right now.
OTOH, it will be interesting to see if a defense angle will include that he was set up or otherwise encouraged to do these things and I have no idea how that could mitigate the offenses in the minds of the jury once they see the crime scene photos of the damage he did to those people.
I wonder how much investigation will go into others who may have encouraged or propostioned him to murder because of the cost involved. If it could help his defense, might it be just too expensive to go there based on his indigent status? Would the DA really care if they think they have enough to get a conviction now and just hang Sam with everything? Kind of questions about the real world versus the ideal world in our system.
Maybe some of you legal peeps can help me out on this. My criminal law prof likes talking about herself more than anything else so I don't get many answers there
