Timed wisely, it would be a good move, in my opinion. But that assumes a judge who is stand-up and cares more about the law than he does politics. I don't know enough about this judge to say for sure, so I'm not going to second-guess defense counsel.
What I do know for sure, though, is that the law in NC needs to be changed. Their system is medeval - no, make that medevIl.
"Reid's typed report makes no mention of bruises, only a cut heel, a cut toe and bandages on both knees. Reid's photographs of the accuser's face and neck show no bruises."
Seems strange. If her father is telling the truth, she should have looked pretty bad when Reid saw her.
It is. I honestly had no idea it's as bad as it is. I guess it's time to start making some noise.
