Peterson himself is the one who would not stay away from the cameras, would not keep his mouth shut. I would bet that once Brodsky saw what he was dealing with - an uncontrollable client, he decided just to go with it rather than trying to fight a losing battle with his own client.
Putting Attorney Smith on the stand as a witness may have been an error on the part of the defense, but I don't think an error in strategy is the same as "ineffective counsel".
I also think there are tons of attorneys who take cases "pro bono" in the hopes of increasing their public profile,etc. Look at the number of attorneys who were in (and out) of the Casey Anthony case - Andrea Lyons, Linda Baden.
I remember seeing Brodsky in his early TV appearances - on Nancy Grace, I believe. The guy actually seemed to believe in his client's innocence. I was kind of amazed at the time.
