O'Mara is very slick and has used West to be his pit bull when such was needed (because West can be exceedingly thorough without seeming to be mean).
All in all, I have found the O'Mara/West team absolutely brilliant in both there execution of the defense's case against the prosecution and their sensitivity to the emotional element of this case.
Now we are going to see that brilliance on even greater display...greater by an order of magnitude.
MoM is going to argue the facts because he owns all the facts. Despite the fact that the judge is a total bitch with regards to allowing them time to prepare, he and West are very good at time management. He said he spends 9 hrs in court and then has to spend another 3-4 hrs after court to take depositions.
