Silvergate lost me when he claimed Jeffery McDonald was innocent.
I know one of the original defense team members. He’s a good man (despite being a lawyer). He and his wife have a half-acre of land across the street from their home where they host a “safe” Halloween event annually and they also have a Easter Egg hunt on that same property they have hundreds of kids show up for each year.
He wouldn’t have taken that case as a cornerstone case if he had thought defending him with a lie would be needed. If he said they framed his client, him, I believe.
