times 2 per person? Or a flat hourly rate for a case?

 

[Minette]

It is an entertainment production.

Sadly, I think you are exactly right. And if the parents had nothing to do with this, then if something bad has happened to Lisa I put part of the blame on the media for all this muck-raking that has taken away attention from the fact that a baby girl is still missing.

I am so sick of all these people looking to put a 'spin' on this story or get face time in front of the cameras. I'm glad LE continues to search, but now I am beginning to believe that all the repeated searches of the family home, the home where DB & JI are staying, etc. are just a tactic to get DB to confess and LE has no idea where Lisa is or what really happened.

IMO at the risk of opposing other sleuthers...lol...I REALLY like what this Joe T. is saying in this PC such as things should have been done sooner and he to me sounds intelligent. I wonder if Mr. Wild Bill was sent by him to investigate and check out the parents story?? If he is a parent I can see him saying he didnt want to defend someone who "may have" harmed a child. He sounds honest despite being a lawyer..lol. I love that he keeps repeating that the main goal is to find lisa!!!!! but could later change...who knows...

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

I swear, if Joe shows up on any or all of HLN tonight, I am going to start drinking.

Prediction: He will make the rounds on all the major cable networks. jmo

 

[dog.gone.cute]

JT is being over-the-top defensive about Deborah. jmo

BBM: I agree ... good point ...

This whole presser is about :

DB 1st
JI 2nd
JT 3rd

:furious: What about Baby Lisa ? :furious:

MOO ...

 

[EllaMae]

Well....this is all a very interesting development. I just can't see how it's helping this poor innocent baby who seems to be getting lost in the shuffle of media events and egos.


Where are you sweet Baby Lisa?

 

[Aedrys]

I swear, if Joe shows up on any or all of HLN tonight, I am going to start drinking.

I have never seen you like this before, Patty G!!!! This is how I know this case is bad!

No, not just you. If I ever face charges, Gardenlady, I would like to see Joe Tacopina at my defense table.

Absolutely, I would too! Of course, I kind of liked BS too, lol. I wonder if some of the visceral reaction is cultural/regional? Both of them seem like typical northeastern city guys to me. In fact BS reminds me of any number of guys in my family

 

[wfgodot]

Cousin Mike Levette speaking now. Tacopina hired "because they felt most comfortable with Joe."

 

[ExpectingUnicorns]

Okay; I've had it. Even my eyes are brown now. Gotta leave this for a while.

 

[my_tee_mouse]

Wagging the dog, for sure.

My exact thought, yllek.

 

[tiredblondy]

Gotta agree with you there. I'd never even heard of this guy before this thread, and I have no clue who this Joren person is that you all seem to hate, but this guy in his sharp suit is not impressing me.

He's not the type of defense lawyer I admire. I can't really imagine him donating his time free of charge to help the Innocence Project, or helping some homeless guy who was accused of a crime he didn't commit. He's more the type who would charge the earth to free a serial killer and feel no conscience about it.

I may be wrong but I dont know of any he's freed. The only ones I know he represented are in jail. :floorlaugh:

 

[luckyme]

OOOO I like this question from the reporter! moo

 

[Scamperoo]

Wow, lots of hate for JT here lol. Is this just because he is a defense atty? I kind of like him so far. Just me?

LOL, he reminds me of JBaez, could be his brother....not very fond of him thus far.

 

[Kakidoll]

and he believed Joran Van Der Sloot innocent too........... hmmmm.

We need a link for this. All twitters require a link. Please provide the link or the post will be removed.

Thanks,

Dear Joe...you DO know that we are going to find this child eventually, right? And when we do, every bit of physical evidence is going to point straight at your poor grieving clients. You DO know that....riiiiiight?

 

[Donjeta]

Given concerns for the child. What. De mother go in tv and admit to being drunk, what was the strategy.

Answer - he doesn't know what the strategy was, this is his first day. But they have nothing to hide, they have hidden nothing, warts and all. They are eager to talk. Regarding wine, it shows her credibility, she is being truthful. She was willing to tell the truth even if it doesn't make herself look good.

Oh golly, it was strategy. If you make it look like you told the truth about being wasted maybe they believe you told the truth about not killing her.

 

[Canadian4]

So what is JT supposed to be doing to help? All I hear is spin.
