giving, I'm sorry if I left you with the impression that I am critical of Ms Taylor's performance. I'm not; I think she and her team are doing a good job, too.
My concern is that if BK is convicted
he will attempt to say that she was biased towards the victim's/victims' parent/s and did not, therefore, properly represent him.
I found the site that referenced your recollection about both parties having the option to object - "This prompts conflict of interest questions for legal experts, and may require each client to offer consent."
