My timing was good since I happened to jump on defense attorney Scott Riesch's channel near the tail end of the hearing and he gave his perspective right after the ruling.
Scott said that normally, there should be a certain amount of professional courtesy between attorneys. Unless there was something glaringly unlawful, what the defense was trying to attain was a stretch and this should've never even been brought up as a motion in the first place. If it had to come up, it would best be settled throught the bar association, not the courts. Well, it went before the judge anyway and the end result is that there's nothing to show for it but bad blood between attorneys.
A few days ago, Scott estimated that there would be around 100 hours billing time on this motion alone. Previous to this frivilous thing, I thought of JP as a savvy attorney. MM is another story with his antics but if the defense attorneys continue wasting time with matters like this, unless they are being paid by some unknown money source, these guys will be unaffordable way before actual trials begin.
The beat goes on.......
