So was this murder.
Merritt is a criminal defense lawyer and TV talking head. In case you hadn't already guessed, she's on the left (started the talkleft.com website).
Good to know. I don't think I can view another Gloria Allred interview without going after her with a crucifix and a wooden stake.
Mercifully, I missed the Greta circus. Often, it seems to be all freak show and no high-wire. On some occasions, though, I've heard Feiger railing against Geragos--so now he's taking up the Scott cause? Oh, that's a little sick. (But remember, he was Kevorkian's lawyer.)
She seems to show up on all the high profile cases. I've seen her on CTV, Fox, and I hear CNN and MSNBC but I don't typically watch the last two. We saw a lot of her during the OKC bombing trials. She's on so many th shows I wonder when she has time to practice law. Maybe she doesn't any more.
I didn't know that about Merritt, but it doesn't surprise me. She seems to take up every leftist cause that comes down the road.
It's tempting anyway, with or without a new high-profile trial. :)
Sounds like the lawyers talked him into it. This happens all the time and they turn out to be the winner-take-all while their clients sink like a stone.
There was plenty of Geragos bashing going on last night, some of it justified, eg. at the start of the trial, Geragos promised the jury the world. He said he would prove conclusively that his client didn't do it, seemingly forgetting that the burden of proof is supposed to be on the prosecution. When he failed to deliver, he looked like a liar. OTOH, Fieger lashed out at Geragos for not being in court for the verdict. This was unfair and Greta had to explain to him that Geragos had no choice but to be in LA on another legal matter that couldn't wait. Everybody but Fieger seemed to know this.
If Peterson gets the DP, expect Merritt and Fieger to be lighting candles with Sarandon outside San Quentin on execution day.
I read somewhere that off all pregnant females who die, 1/3 are murdered by the father of the child (I think that is right).
Remember, there is that sports figure who had his pregnant girlfriend shot too. She died but the baby survived.
