I no particular fan of the defense team in this case — but comparing it to the Haidl trial is (in my opinion) journalistic malpractice.
OCWeekly is free entertainment weekly, liberal, democratic, hates Republicans/Conservatives and targets all the usual conservative ideals, institutions and people.
Noted for its sexual personal ads, ads for nightclubs, adult stores amongst more legitimate ads...Just a very trashy paper,weekly entertainment rag for 20-40 year old partiers,pro-marijuana, pro-illegal alien, pro all the liberal causes, although with some cutting edge stories from time to time.
I havent read this article, but heard Kelly Thomas on tape pleading for his life by calling to his father—quite childlike. So there seems to be a disjunct going on here.
I’ll catch up with it all later.
