Well, I know it would present reasonable doubt, but why not make it a little more prominent. My guess is that Feldman did not want to make an outright accusation of police misconduct, but there it is just the same, and the jurors will have to deal with it.

Or it really wasn't the jacket that was taken in on 1/26 but he wanted the reasonable doubt there??
You're idea is probably closer to truth.
I need to go back and read that portion as I haven't done so yet.

My guess is that Feldman did not want to make an outright accusation of police misconduct, but there it is just the same, and the jurors will have to deal with it. I would guess you are very correct. Feldman didn't want to leave the courthouse and find his car had been towed. Then go to tow lot and find he had a warrant out, then end up in jail, then end up dead. Pretty good reasons for not CLAIMING in court that POLICE INTENTIONALLY FALSIFIED EVIDENCE or TESTIMONY. Better just to let it be 'apparent'.

Yeah, especially after he thanked them for all their hard work in proving his client didn't do it. Would look bad, IMO.
