Thank you for keeping us updated! I'm at work so not able to watch but being able to pop in here for the scoop is great. :)
Jeffrey Epstein, another great person everyone respected. That attorney must have specialized on the moral elite.
That’s not how defense attorneys work. Except on tv. Yes, you have your piece-of-shit Roy Cohns, but a defense attorney’s job is to defend you against the full weight of the state apparatus, which is, let’s just say, considerable.
Is it weird she’s using Epstein’s attorney? Yes. Very much so. But it’s not right to say an attorney takes on the morals of their client. That’s just not how it works.
They could always say no. It's not like they were forced to take clients. Sure, everybody deserves to get a proper defense, but... I wouldn't want to take that client.
It's a "losing" scenario in my mind. We know they're guilty. The question is whether that will be the true outcome or if some bullshit happens. Then you become either a dumb lawyer who took a losing case and lost. Or you become the shitbag that took a losing case and either delayed until trump was in power to quash all this or used unethical means to secure a bullshit outcome simply because of who your client is.
No doubt they will curry favor with the sycophants and rich criminals. But they'll never be able to make those same plays again.
Yeah, that's my problem with it. But I'm not a lawyer and I'm sure as hell not built to be one. I would laugh at her and send her home.
(Note: I'm going to be away for a bit, if someone else wants to pull updates for those that appreciate them. Otherwise, I'll resume updating when I return.)
EDIT: I'm just gonna assume anyone who wanted an update clicked through and got one by now. Today's testimony finished up a couple hours ago. No big bombshells. AG's office just doing work and Trump's lawyers bitching about it.
Thanks for the work!
Is this streamed anywhere or are cameras blocked in the courtroom?
To my knowledge, there are no cameras in the courtroom. All filmed segments seem to come from breaks, or when people are entering or leaving. Other than that, there's only been some courtroom sketches over the previous part of the trial to my knowledge. (edit: I guess there were some photos allowed when Trump himself took the stand. Maybe because he's a named defendant, but none today.)
I figured. Thanks for updating us.
