Baby Lisa Irwin Family Press Conference at 2:30pm **CST** today, Monday, Oct 17

:noooo: Wouldn't you want to check his record first??? I watched MM's trial and I thought he was a much better PR person on tv than a lawyer in the courtroom. I was really disappointed in his lawyerly skills in the courtroom.
But then again that is only my impression.

As a defense attorney, your record doesn't mean much. Approximately 98% of your clients are guilty. The majority of your cases will not go to trial because you will negotiate some sort of plea, in an attempt to mitigate their punishment. Those that do go to trial, it's a crapshoot, because again - most of your clients are guilty.

When we defended (successfully) a client whom we believed to be innocent, the lead attorney on the case said "Well, that's our one for the year." In looking for a defense attorney, it's not so important to look at the number of wins - it's more important to look at how good he is in negotiating deals. That's where the defense attorney magic happens, so to speak.

"I understand [the public's] need to rush to judgement [but] some of these people come to conclusions of guilt without one stitch of evidence."

which means she's guilty!

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Tacopina's been out of the media spotlight for some time now and is eager to start making the rounds again. It didn't take this couple long to hit the big-time. I am so not happy about the way this is going

RBBM

I see it as setting up a defence. Bumbling, inept, inefficient investigators muddled the case from day one. Debbie's 'big bad LE accused me' + Tacopino's 'regrets' = criminal defence strategy 101 IMO.

and they didnt take her blood levels. moo

 

[Aedrys]

Well, if there was a kidnapper, he or she is feeling mighty confident right now...

And don't worry, baby Lisa, mom and dad have lawyered up and aren't doing a thing to find you!!!! I am so disgusted by this case!!!

[Bon]

the other right

LOL, then it's her cousin

 

[Thundar]

And what exactly did we learn that might help bring baby Lisa home?

The only thing I learned was JT thinks everyone is innocent except LE. I don't believe I will be taking his word for it even though he wants me to.

 

[curiositycat]

And what exactly did we learn that might help bring baby Lisa home?

MOO we learned that baby Lisa is not alive and that mommy and daddy know that, and someone has paid for a topnotch attorney for them.

No way does a truly innocent person hire an attorney like this. JMOO

 

[AnaTeresa]

I wish they would have asked the lawyer IF this turned into a case that the evidence pointed to the parents would he continue to be there counsel!! just wondering....

Once you've been retained, it's extremely hard to just drop a client. There are rules for this, and finding out they are guilty is not one of them.

Aedrys,
me too...............:banghead:

One more presser with Lisa forgotten. Makes me :sick:.

 

[darnudes]

i thought he was very good. i was very impressed.

You will have many more occassions to be impressed by him because you will be seeing plenty of him on all the shows in the coming weeks. Joe just loves himself some good airtime.

 

[Aedrys]

and they didnt take her blood levels. moo

That doesn't make sense to me. If she was showing signs of drunkenness or smelled of wine, they would have taken her blood levels. Something is not adding up here. I can't imagine that the KC police would be that inept.

 

[tiredblondy]

and they didnt take her blood levels. moo

That makes me believe what Fox said about the LE didn't know about her being drunk.

Bumping up

He was awful in melanie mcguires case. I watched that trial!! moo!!

 

[Mojen]

yes
no
(it is a female atty from clay county but he didn't name her)

Thank you.

Did he specifically say she was an attorney that practices out of Clay County or that she can practice in Clay County? I can't think of any I would want from up there.

No offense if there are any Clay County attorneys here.

.. And now as BS exits the stage.. Entering onto the stage is Tacopina to pick up where BS left off with his check list of priorities in tow..

Priority list is as follows:
-continue whipping the media into a full fledged frenzy.

-feed the pariah that feed off the negativity of the parents soap opera/radaronline lifestyles..

- continue and escalate the circus type atmosphere

- and always always keep in the forefront of your mind that this case has got the potential to go all the way to Casey Anthony status if we play our cards right..

And that's what will generate the big bucks and make them the latest "stars"..

IMO it's just as I predicted all one big money/fame making machine with the family nothing but pawns used to generate both the fame and the money..

Precious baby Lisa.. Well this was never about her, period.. She is nothing but the name and the face for the poster of this twisted production that missing children's cases have become.. Infact, if anything I see their(this newfound mentoring media production) goal would be that she need not be found or discovered just yet.. They want to still drag that out a bit and have a build up of sorts with a major climax at just the right time of their having Lisa found or discovered!!..

That's exactly what's going on here!!!

Precious Lisa it seems as tho us here may indeed be the only one's who have your best interest at heart in desperately wanting you found!! I pray you're safe wherever you are!!

I'm absolutely disgusted at what has now become of our missing children!! Disgusted!!

BBM. Perhaps Riley Fox's dad wouldn't have spent time in jail, had he hired an attorney like this.

 

[dog.gone.cute]

Hurry reporters. Hes got a plane to catch. He will be on nancy and jv and many more tonight... moo

BBM: lol ... this is the "one time" I am happy that hln will be talking about DWTS tonight ...:innocent:

MOO ...
