2010.09.14 - Defense Team News Conference

[Turnadot]

I am a VP of public relations and no, this is not normal procedure. The media hates news conferences because they have to drop everything and be at a certain spot at a certain time. Not only that, but they have to have a camera man and a reporter to ask questions, so it is costly for them.

Media outlets are looking to cut costs. Most stations only have skeleton crews before 10 a.m. that are available to go out to get stories. If the station, such as FOX here in NC, does not have an early evening 5-6 p.m. newscast, then they don't have reporters and photographers available until after 2 p.m. (the work 2-11).

Then, they will often times, pay "stringers" independent cameramen who get paid by the story, to run around town chasing police radio traffic events.

The only reasons you call a news conference are 1) to release time sensitive information that needs to be released at the same time to all the media so that it does not leak out, or 2) for breaking news that you cannot release by other means to the media such as a news release, email, phone call, during a crisis situation and it is most expedient to have a news conference so that all the media is informed.

In my professional opinion, the only news related to this case that would warrant a news conference is the following:

1) KC has decided to accept a plea deal.
2) JB is ending his representation of KC (and it would have to be for a really good reason to merit a news conference and not a statement sent to the media).
3) They have found the real Zanny and they are introducing her at the news conference.
4) They are petitioning a higher court to either have a mistrial declared or to have the Judge removed from the case for (insert reason).

That's my 2 cents.

Very, very interesting. A friend of mine thinks KC is taking a plea.

ETA: I'm so *bleeping* sick of Baez's circus show. If this is none of the 4 listed, but a centre stage for some smear campaign against LE, I'm gonna hurl.

I think it will be to petition for a mistrial based on 'withheld cough evidence'..

Wouldn't it be funny if no media showed up at the news conference..:dance::dance::dance:

 

[Turnadot]

I think it will be to petition for a mistrial based on 'withheld cough evidence'..

In that case, I predict Baez's petition will be an epic fail. I really do.

And: I channeled Holden Caulfield in this post.

Thank you! I was looking all over for reasons that a press conference might be called. I will take a guess with the info you provided.

Since they have recently completed their depositon with Yuri Melich, I am betting they are planning to announce that they will be asking he be removed from the case due to blogging or whatever misconduct they can invent.

They hope to introduce doubt about LE's handling of the case, and what better way to do so.

I just don't see Casey taking a plea deal. I don't see them doing a press conference if one of Casey's lawyers is leaving...that makes them look bad. No real Zanny will ever show up.

This is going to be a stupid question, but can you have a mistrial before the trial has even begun?

 

[Kimmer]

I think it will be to petition for a mistrial based on 'withheld cough evidence'..

Can you even ask for a mistrial before a jury has been selected?

I have a 55-gallon drum of hooch I've been saving for a special occasion.

YAY.. we had a small clip of the WEBSLEUTHS HEADER and someones post on JVM!!!!!! i feel famous...llol.. even if i just read and make comments,,,LOL yay US!!!

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

JB will proudly announce a major break in the case based on the 'withheld discovery' and the recent depo of YM leading to a new perp(s) who are going to be thoroughly investigated by the Defense, since LE did not.

When the reporters attempt to question JB further on the revelation ... JB will state he cannot answer because he does not want to discuss the details of the case with the media and wants to save the info for presentation at trial. A non-Q&A presser.

Finally JB will state that at trial we will all understand, it will be compelling and, it will now all make sense.

Nada clue. Anyone know?

I agree, she has nothing to gain, she could still get the death penalty, and she wouldn't give up the media attention from a trial... She's far too much of a narcissist to ever admit guilt!:snooty:

In the article on cfnews13 about Mason's other client, Jim Greer, it states:

Mason has a news conference scheduled for Tuesday morning where he's expected to talk more about the case.


So they're covering 2 cases with one press conference?

[tragco]

Me too. I admit I haven't been following this as closely as before but I am having a hard time believing misconduct from Yuri. Sounds like more JB spew to me........

There is a lawyer, Richard Hornsby, who wrote about possible misconduct regarding Melich if you are interested. You have to scroll way down or hit control F and find the heading "A Brief Interlude".

http://blog.richardhornsby.com/

I think Melich is awesome. I also think the Defense team is planning to try to rip out his jugular, metaphorically speaking.

 

[Gaia713]

BBM
Or a Plea Deal (IMO not happening)
I believe this will be more spin and an attempt to defame and discredit Yuri.

Maybe it's time for Jose to just SHUT UP and stop looking like the idiot he appears to be. His remark about Yuri's nose won't fly in the face of the fact that HIS CLIENT'S PARENTS said the same thing. IT just never fails to amaze me at how LOW he will sink. HE's disgusting. And a huge detriment to the legal profession imo.

Are you in Baez' head? Scary
I think you may have pegged it.

Guess this means we can expect Cindy :gum: and George :Banane27: on the tube for the next week or so with their reaction to the 'new evidence'.. Hummmphh.

And we will all have learned to respect him. :angel:

Or it will be all about Greer and Mason will use this as an attempt to make some more trifling remarks about YM and his credibility as a K9. He does like his own humor.
