Why would anyone hire a criminal defense atty before they have been charged with a crime? ESPECIALLY, a city slicker from the Big Apple who defends the worst of the worst! DB is obsessed with being arrested - consciousness of guilt or just a worry wort?
If this was my missing baby, I wouldn't be calling a defense atty - I would be searching every nook and cranny, hiring divers (iinstead of lawyers) to seach the river, calling Equi-Search, getting volunteer search parties....AND hounding LE every single day to see if they have any new info and offering myself up for more questioning on the hope that I might have forgotten pertinent information!!!
I'm also curious as to why DB and JI have never looked into the cameras and made a DIRECT appeal to the alleged kidnapper to bring their baby home. JI's silence and DB's inconsistencies speak volumes! Why didn't LE give JI and LDT??? Too late now - <modsnip> Joe will never let it happen.
All of the substantial inconsistencies since Tacopino came to the rescue might very well end up being DB's one-way ticket to the Big House! They did themselves no favors when they hired the city slicker!
