MARK NEJAME New Legal Analyst for WKMG

[Tulessa]

Bumping this so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

 

[Tulessa]

Was anyone else watching the coverage the day sweet little Caylee was found on line? Mark said something to the effect of a huge bomb that would drop at some point in the case which would shock everyone. I wish I could remember the station so I could hunt for it, he said it was unbelievable. He is going to have some great insight.

Ok, going to do some digging. I remember that also.

I don't actually find NeJames joining in the melee objectionable but I had originally painted him such a sterling character ~ it feels just a bit tarnished now. I would have preferred him to have held himself above all the opining that receives compensation. From his past actions and comments I do value his opinion but it probably won't hold the same weight for me now that I know he's being paid for what he says. I understand this won't be a very popular opinion and even I wish it weren't mine. :truce:

I totally get your point,but he donated the money he made from the Anthony's to Kronk. He was a powerful attorney before he took on this case . IIRC ,he's working for TES pro bono (? :waitasec,so I really don't think he's doing this for money. I'm hoping he'll be a balanced voice with some common sense thrown in. Maybe he just wants to be a thorn in the DT's side:rocker:

MN made it clear the day he became the A's lawyer,that he was helping the grandparents,NOT representing ICA. I was struck with the way he was trying to distance them from ICA. I think he knew then that she was guilty and wanted nothing to do with helping her.

He showed great character stepping away when the A's continued to insist on covering for ICA. I think the campaign to keep the picture of the little girl at the mall in the news was his breaking point.

Since then ,MN has made sure the defense did not get away with abusing TES volunteers to the best of his ability.

He's not a big fan of this DT so I look forward to his commentary. :innocent:

Not to mention, he is Tiger Woods attorney and the PR in that case was handled way beyond perfect, considering the circumstances! I have nothing but respect for him.

 

[tsitra01]

If Conway cashes in (further) as a correspondent I'm going to puke. There is NOTHING in any way engaging about him and he is average at best from everything I've seen.

ITA...and he has been no more on the side of truth as Ga @ CA. Moo

 

[Macushla]

For MN to be opining about this case now and during trial makes me more than a little uncomfortable. While I am sure he has gotten advice about it, the fact that he is the attorney that handled all the issues with TES and Tim Miller, I can't help but feel there is a conflict of interest here. He is still representing them as far as I know.

The one thing that keeps running through my head is WHY did he agree to do this? When I think about the rancor, heated discussions, and obvious dislike NM and JB have for each other, I can't help but wonder if he was motivated by the chance to criticize JB up, down and sideways under the guise of 'analyzing' the actions of the defense team.

Yeah, I think I would have liked him better if he had sat this one out on the sidelines and made his comments, if he had any, after the trial was over. I have gazed into my crystal ball and predict that Mr. NeJame will have NOTHING good to say about JB and his defense tactics and strategy and performance in court.

Over an hour of digging, and zilch. I will continue to search tomorrow.

Tulessa,
Was it mark n. or mark f. that made that remark. I kinda thought it might be mark f?? :maddening::banghead:

This is not the video you reference, but it's a great video interview with Mark on the day Caylee's remains were found. It also shows ICA strutting in her white sunglasses, giggling and acting like a movie star. Watching the old video's of her and knowing what we know now....it's chilling.

I can't agree more. He does NOT need to be injecting himself in this. I definitely consider him a good guy, but I just wonder if the media circus will be some kind of ground for appeal and he is WAY too close to the case to be a media lackey. moo...

 

[Capri]

I respect MN for stepping off the case when he did. I think he'll be professional about his speaking, not because he likes Baez, but because it's just the way Nejame seems to be. Now if Baez does something stupid, I'm sure he'll call it like it is too. There should be plenty of that, but as for holding grudges or reporting unfairly, I don't think he will. We'll see.

 

[katydid23]

I do not think it is wrong for an attorney to be paid as a legal on-air commentator.
There is no difference between an attorney doing it and a tv news analyst doing it, other than the attorney is more knowledgeable and well versed. imoo

 

[Oakley]

Looking forward to hearing Mark's analysis during the trial. I trust that he will use discretion in not disclosing privileged information from when he was George and Cindy's attorney. At the same time, he is in the unique position of seeing things from a more knowledgeable perspective, so that should be interesting.

Mumsy, thank you. I think it was Mark F. Blah, no more digging for me.

 

[headndownstream]

:great:

He will do an awesome job! I think he will be brutally honest, no matter what! :woohoo:

I was listening to a NG video yesterday; did I hear Nejame say ICA spent 31 days "stealin', boozin', cruisin', tattooin' "?

Loved it

You certainly did! I heard it, and loved it too. So much so, that it is now my siggie.

ETA: Ooooops but he didn't say 'cruisin' --- he said 'screwin' :blush:

Oh yes you did! Love it! At about the 11:00 mark in video #1:

I have to disagree. The A's are no longer MN's clients. As long as he does not discuss anything they talked about that would be attorney/client priviledge he is free to speak to whomever he chooses about the case. LKB has done so on national tv. He can talk about KC because he never represented her in any way and made that quite clear to the A's and the public in general. BC, on the other hand, was willing to get involved with the defense which turns out was not at all to his benefit.

It must be difficult for any attorney to represent the A's because CA wants them to walk a fine line between them and KC. Not an easy job and whatever they are being paid it is probably not enough.

The reason MN was picked, I believe, would be because he is honest and we all know he is honest. He will say what he has to say and be done with it, whether you like it or not. He is a model for a defense attorney. Speaking out when he knows his client is innocent and maintaining a low profile when his client's case needs a little work. lol jmo

lAMBCHOP: Oh I have no problem with him doing it if the only connection he had was the Anthonys. My problem is that he has and still is representing TES. How is he going to handle it if/when Tim Miller gets on the stand? How about if the state and/or defense calls up TES volunteers? that is the biggest problem I have with him doing this, he is the attorney for people/organization who have become ensnared in this case and may have to testify,.

He's a very wise man and knows what he can comment on and what he can't so regarding TES, I would think he has TM's blessing. There is nothing, absolutely nothing negative anyone can say about the TES searchers (other than LB) because they were out there on their own doing a thankless (from the A's) job to find this child. DT would have a hard time discrediting any of them during testimony. They are all true heros of this sad story even though they never found her they are still heros in my book.

Truthfully I do not think KC will endure the whole trial. At some point she will have to see the light at the end of the tunnel and ask for mercy. They really have nothing to work with, nothing. LB's attorney is really, really, really grabbing at straws and I think JB would like some inside information on the parallel investigation going on involving LB.
