Just for the record, my opinion of Martinez was formed exclusively from his performance in this case and what I've read about him from links posted here and related reading. I have never heard of him before and had no personal opinion about his work until I saw him for the first time when I sat through the first day I attended of this trial. As I said, I don't care what anyone else thinks of him or what anyone else thinks of my opinion of him, so I'm not going to respond to details of your post.
IIRC You've posted several times, and made it perfectly clear: You do not care for Mr. Juan Martinez personally, and you do not respect his lawyering style, technique.
But, your previous post indicates
that you have previously observed Mr. Martinez personally; and you have heard of him before this case - prior to this case.
I certainly won't the time go back an read all of your posts - But, if I'm not mistaken - you've made other references to being aware of Mr. Martinez's court-room performances on a personal level.
So, I'm not sure why you would say -
"You've never heard of Mr. Martinez prior to this case."
This is your previous post: BBM
"I have no doubt that it's Juan's "passion." I just think he didn't do a good job at it on Thursday and,
from what I've seen and read about him in other cases, I'm not enamored of his style and abilities, in general. And while Montgomery's position is elected, it's a logical next step for a successful prosecutor -- as are any number of other "next steps" that have not been taken by Juan. I can't find his bio anywhere, but he appears to me to be in his early 50's. Phoenix is not a "sexy" venue for an aging prosecutor. And, honestly, I don't give a hoot who disagrees with me and thinks he's "juanderful." It's my opinion and I stand by it. I thought his cross was extremely lame. Fortunately for him, he's got a defendant who's lied on tape multiple times about this exact crime. She'll go down, it's just a question of how hard."
Yes, you
are entitled to your opinion -- and I think you've made it very clear; and posters have probably gotten it.
