NC - Shaniya Davis, 5, Allegedly sold by mother 11/10/09 #23

Why would he have been using a Florida lawyer in NC?

He's retained by several companies.
I wonder if the company LB works for is based or licensed in FL? If they are, the lawyer may be provided by his employer. If one of my employees were getting bad press to this extent (deserved or not) I would possibly hire them an advisor, in the best interests of the company.
Just saying.

Why has he retained an attorney from Jax, FL?

 

[LaLaw2000]

Actually, I would like to see LE move the investigation along and add more charges against AD.

I would think that a lot of the comments made about BL is because he cannot seem to stay off camera. Maybe I would not comment about him if he wasn't on camera so much with it being so self-serving. And he is the last one, IMO, that needs to preach to the public about what has happened and how to prevent it. I also didn't much care to see Carey on TV stating she had been unemployed for a year. Will people send her money now as well?

OK, I am done for a while.

 

[alwaysonmymind]

Yes, CarrieBean, I'm pretty sure we remember. But some of us would like to gather more information so that maybe they can have more charges levied against them. Particularly the one on the bottom so she doesn't get off easily.

My guess: LE will make a deal with her for her testimony against McNeill. Not for total immunity, but some kind of deal to help ensure the death penalty for McNeill. jmo

But was it a formal withdraw or did she simply stop going?
Has that been stated.
Maybe they have not said who withdrew her because nobody went to the school and said, I need to withdraw her.
Maybe AD just did not bring her.

If Ad just did not bring her they would call the home of the Child to review...
Would they call AD or would they call BLs sister aunt Carie?
If they called AD she could have told them she has the Flue now.

Why has he retained an attorney from Jax, FL?

Not sure, but now that it is known that Somer's mother has the same attorney makes one wonder why. Perhaps this attorney contacted Brad as it is a "high" profile case.

 

[not_my_kids]

Is it actually stated anywhere that BL did the retaining?
Seeing as how the guy isn't practicing in NC and hasn't been since 2003, does shoot my idea of it being his former attorney.
But if he hasn't specifically said that he hired the lawyer for a specific reason, and the lawyer hasn't clarified...i can't decide yet.
That's why I'm questioning.

 

[tlcya]

I am not making a judgment on BL hiring a lawyer, simply frustrated by the growing trend of entertainment attorneys being involved in hig profile murders. It feels to me as if an entire cottage industry just sort of sprung up around representing families of murder victims on every talk show and news program, etc. I get that it may be a necessary evil, but I nonetheless am left feeling a need to shower.

Nothing has come out so far about Brad retaining an attorney, but I am sure now someone will start digging and it will be addressed in the media.

IMO, IF this is an attorney from the past, this attorney would have showed up the first time BL or his sister appeared in the media.

 

[lbminnesota]

The only answer I have is the lawyer jumped in on the case based solely now on the fact the attorney is the same attorney for Diena T.

Here I was feeling warm and fuzzy for 10 minutes and then back to reality. He continues to show us how consistently clueless he is in anything to do with Shaniya.

Thank you for the clarification. I don't really think it could be his former attorney considering the timeline, but the employer may have hired him.

Why has he retained an attorney from Jax, FL?

Maybe it has something to do with Dienna's comment in a presser.

"I'd love to reach out to Mr. Davis".

 

[Patty G]

When I take a step back and look at this lawyer's qualifications, exactly what would be his purpose in this "high" profile case. Sue AD, MAM, DCFS, LE? Can't get much out of AD or MAM. AD wasn't investigated by DCFS with regards to Shaniya and for all we know, DCFS may not even have known about Shaniya.

 

[Patty G]

IMO, no employer connection with regards to this attorney.

 

[songline]

I believe there is a statement from her teacher some place on here. Shaniya was withdrawn from school but I don't believe she said by who.

Nor did the principle say HOW it was done; by phone or in a formal in person filing.
I imagine it was done by phone because they were to meet the Tuesday Shaniya died. If by phone we may never know who did it. This is a shady crowd.;

 

[not_my_kids]

Just stating fact.
Has anyone noticed the timeline changed again?

As of today, he dropped her off at her aunt's on 10-2. "8 days later" she went to her mothers.
That would be 10-10, not 10-9, like we have been hearing.

 

[not_my_kids]

Do we know where BL is employed?

If we can't write it out, could it be linked? If anybody knows, let me know.

 

[jnTexas]

So if a parent of a murdered child were doing interviews, and NOT getting paid licensing fees for photos would they need a lawyer?

Someone needs to pass a law to make it illegal to make money off of photos of deceased children. This is getting crazy.

 

[lbminnesota]

"I'd love to reach out to Mr. Davis".

Tomorrow's news: Brad was seen having a late lunch with George and Cindy Anthony.

I thought it was Utah, which is why an attorney in FL makes no sense.
