Just peeking in for a minute but a couple of observations from yesterday's hearing....
I think the defense came off (again) looking like *advertiser censored* because of the "jib jab" motion thing. Love how the Prosecution said "we have no intention of using that"...like "you Idiots..."
JB should never play poker. His comment about "cutting into his $3.00/hr" showed exactly how pi$$ed he was that he had been called on the carpet. Little baby.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED how the reporter KEPT ON SHOOTING WITH HIS ZOOM LENS the ENTIRE time CM was arguing his motion. JB could learn about having some from that guy!!!!!
That was great stuff! I also loved Rachel Fugate, the lawyer for the Sentinel, she basically said, you gotta be kidding me, we have done nothing wrong, this is silly, it doesn't even warrant a response, if my kid ever acts up in your courtroom, you have my permission to let him know it, but I trust him, :floorlaugh: oh my.... look at the time, too bad I can't stay.
Yes, as sure as the sun comes up every morning, Jose finds a way to work in his pitiful three dollars an hour remark in every hearing, and; likewise, Mason manages to get it on the record, every time, that he had to pay out of his own pocket for hotel rooms and airfare to go to do a depo.
The funny thing about that for the listener is the OBVIOUS question.
When he was first on the courthouse steps regailing for the reporters
that it is his honor to take on a case pro bono, the highest calling, etc., etc. ad nausium for the soundbite.....
he knew then that
1.) The clear rule is if she has a privately retained attorney, neither he, nor any other lawyers he has help him on this case are getting reimbursed for travel, ever.
2.) Indeed she did have a privately retained attorney, Jose.
3.) With his forty years of practicing criminal law this is basic common knowlege.
The obvious question is he knew the deal when he signed on so why the feigned shock and outrage about it now?
In the words of my hero, Jeff Ashton, "This feigning of ignorance is getting old".
To Mr. Baez I say, no sir , you are not being paid only three dollars an hour, not if you want to consider the aproximately one hundred thousand dollars you took off the top of Ms. Anthony's three hundred thousand dollar defense fund. Let's do keep things in context. None of their whining is falling on anything but deaf ears in the courtroom, no worries.
and I noticed something interesting...
