Sarcasm Alert!!
Collateral damage and his ends justify his means. It's all about the reigning Princess and Queen of Mean ____ insert CMA here (either one).
I suppose with CA running around with a hammer we can under his fear of her turning on him. ICA used duct tape on her own child - I would imagine the fear of her finding out he secretly knows she's guilty and wants her locked up forever is also understandable.
This duh-fence team has been a source of embarrassment to the Orlando-Bar for 2.5 years now and there's no signs that they will stop anytime soon.
Just think what a shock it was to JB who truly believed his client was innocent - when expert, after expert told him "Nope, no invisinanny could have done this; the crime happened mid - June and ICA was the only one known to have contact with that child. We can't find a single witness who has ever babysat Caylee, since she was 12 months old, not a single witness who knew Zany - nanny or not!"
MC on the other hand knew ICA was guilty before he ever joined her team; he even said so to the press! For some reason he thought he would be able to WOW!! the state and jury with his long career and wit - instead he has discovered he's just too old and lazy to put any energy into this pretense. He's now just praying for his own death or for this nightmare to go away, whichever comes first - he no longer cares.
