CB: Are you watching the Arias trial closely?
JB: I’ve been asked to comment on it and I’ve followed it only as well as I can because, as I said, I’ve been tied up with other matters. I try to follow it a little bit but only because I enjoy watching trials.
CB: If you were defending Jodi, what would you be doing?
JB: I think they’re doing all they can do right now. You’re given the facts. You aren’t going to change the facts. I think that came out in the Lifetime movie. But you have to play with the hand that you’re dealt and I think her lawyers appear to be experienced and seem to know what they’re doing. I think they’re doing the best they can for their client.
CB: Unlike the Casey trial, where there appeared to be a lot of circumstantial evidence, in this particular incident the evidence seems to be mounting against Jodi.
JB: Well you can’t compare the evidence. They’ve got the next best thing to a video. That’s a photo. [Nude photos place Arias at the scene of the crime, but she says she attacked in self-defense.] There’s nothing even remotely close to that in Casey’s case. I don’t think it gets much better than that for a prosecutor.
