When I checked she had done over 40 capital cases and at least 10 were high profile.
She is known for taking “ lost cause” cases and flipping them on their ear (their words) you have to watch for yourself to understand her approach and how she is able to turn things around.
one example is the Moore case, (watch the dateline episode called the clearing) how she turned around the speculation on why Moore didnt want to go into the woods) she makes sense of things
I dont think it’s about recognition for her, if anything it’s about true justice, lawyers being more prepared, coming with facts and a better system all around.
I dont believe she will get MM off if the evidence is there, but she will go after what isnt there and she is very good at it.
if you're going to go up against her, you better come prepared.
OK, I hope that
- it is a good, well-prepared trial on both sides, with many witnesses
- that maybe in the process of the trial we’ll get better ideas about the motives and the type of personality MDM has.
- there are situations that are a person’s choice/fault (e.g.: not seeing a therapist if your residency attending advices you to do so). Then, there are also situations when the system allows a person and his problems to “fly under the radar” and takes little care, tbh. Examples would be: assuming that it is easy for someone to go through a divorce because he is young and has a good specialty. In this case, it is a doctor. Could be a pilot, a policeman, anyone. Each case is a learning experience, too, and we as the society might draw some conclusions, after all. It is not about “compassion” it is about “understanding”. If the participation of a good and logical attorney will help us understand, all the best.
- perhaps the trial will help us dispel some myths or prejudices about the case? I have heard two: 1) “she surely was interested in doctors” (about Monique) and, 2) “as a doctor, he could marry anyone” (about MDM). Both are examples of extremely superficial understanding of the situation and maybe we’ll understand the reality of a doctor’s work/stressors better after the case is over?
- the stress of the professional lawsuits. I don’t quite understand why the situation looked so bad to MDM given the commonality of lawsuits in a high-risk profession, but maybe there are some details we don’t understand? It could be his paranoid state of mind, or, alternatively, a true indicator of the lack of support or mentorship for young doctors? We don’t know yet.
So, if the presence of a good attorney might help us understand the situation better, I’d only welcome it.
