New York lawyer Joe Tacopina greeted a People magazine reporter enthusiastically after a news conference Monday. Apparently, they had worked together after Natalee Holloway disappeared in 2005 in Aruba.
Lisa’s parents stood sullen and silent behind Tacopina and Stanton as they held court for a slew of media. It was Tacopino’s introductory performance in Kansas City.
Reporters, photographers, videographers and probably a few producers for the national media crammed onto the lawn of the Kansas City home where the family appeared. The mail carrier had trouble finding a place to park his delivery truck.
Neighbors, probably as disgusted as they were curious and worried, drove slowly by.
This isn’t how Baby Lisa’s story will be resolved.
Tacopina insisted that he came on board after deep analysis and many questions for Baby Lisa’s family. Only when he was convinced of the parent’s innocence, he said, did he begin traveling.
I think it’s the exact opposite.
I think you are correct - he’s looking for his Baez moment. The longer it takes to find the body of this baby the better her chances are of getting away with whatever happened. And admitting her drinking bing(s) is a way to get out to the public that she was unable to care for the kids but make it appear not to be important
Taco Joe is a disgrace to the legal profession.
