Correct. And I bet it will happen.
By my count JB got in 3 pot-shots as to the State's ethics. That was the final shot across the bow.
He brought up the gag order allegation twice earlier. You have to recall that KC specifically aimed her pot shot at Ashton on the affidavit, too.
It is getting old, but Ashton shouldn't be showing that it is working.[/QUOTE]
ITA with the bolded part.
Also, Ashton should expect some back...after all, today's hearing was based on his suspicion/allegation that JB was acting unethically/in conflict of his client's interests, and the Judge disagreed. If you throw stones, you should expect some back, imo.
I fear that if the SAs don't tone things down a bit, it may backfire on them with the jury. I think they have the best chance of conviction if they appear fair and honest and not motivated by anything but wanting justice for Caylee.
(bold mine) I believe that the SA is fair and honest and motivated by justice for Caylee. I don't view today's motion to be "throwing stones." I believe it was a necessary step to sew up any little holes through which the defendant might slip, later on. I think any prudent SA would have done the same.
It's a shame they must face such odious adversaries, because it must be terribly difficult not to rise to the bait. But I certainly don't think any less of the prosecution when I do see that they are invested--even if that means there are occasional flares of temper.
Give me an honest SA who cares--even if he gets ticked off now and then-- over a smirking, bloated bottomfeeder any day.
Also, somebody has to be paying the regular household bills - unless it is LA.
