I've been wondering why the DA's office isn't giving poor Lally any assistance on this case. He's been a prosecutor for a long time, so I doubt the office is surprised by his courtroom demeanor. And while I know he has a co-counsel, I gather she is relatively junior and hasn't done any of the arguments to date.
They've known for at least a year that this would be a very contentious trial with nationwide publicity and Lally would be up against two incredibly competent, seasoned trial attorneys. An acquittal is going to be a giant black eye for the county.
They must have litigators that are better in front of a jury and it's a real head-scratcher why in such a high-profile case they've allowed Lally to be the sole face of the prosecution.
