..."The DA's office is what kept the adult Ramseys from being prosecuted and after a Grand Jury indictment at that."
COMPLETELY agree with the above statement.
Yes, Lin Wood did his job during that deposition, which is what he is supposed to do for his client. To do otherwise, would be to disregard his oath as an attorney re: the representation of his clients.
Levin 'tried' to do his job, but was somewhat thwarted by Wood. Guess one could say that Wood had the upper hand with most of that deposition, at least from what I could glean when I read through the entirety of that thing, yesterday.
Believe it or not, I have true sympathy for the Boulder cops on this case. As Thomas stated, their attempts with just the basics re: investigatory issues such as acquiring certain phone records and/or receipts, were met with skid marks via the DA's office. I can't imagine how frustrating this must have been for the cops when they were simply trying to do their jobs. On the other hand, some of Eller's tactics come to mind as well. I didn't agree with some of his tactics, but hey...I guess he did what he felt he needed to do.
There was a fair share of incompetency ALL AROUND on this case, BOESP - NO ONE should get a pass on this one, from Alex Hunter, all the way down. Too much leaking of evidence and other factors with this case, to the media, can be blamed on all sides. Ethical boundaries were an issue all around - at some level.
In the end, all that ensued played into the hands of a very well off couple whose daughter was found murdered in their own home.
I'm sure lessons were learned here, by all involved.
