There have been three, maybe four, defense attorneys speaking on his behalf since yesterday afternoon.

One was Patricia Van Zandt (Patricia? I hope that's right - too many Patsys here) - I'll check. I thought she was court-assigned, but evidently not. Someone left word at her office, so she is in private practice. Not sure of her relationship, but I think it's in a Denver Post article - will check.

Another was Marie Case, who had been his defense attorney in the porn case in Sonoma County. They were on together on GMA this morning and choosing ... every ... word ... they ... said ... very ... carefully ... and ... very ... slowly.

They said the Thai presser was a travesty of justice and so degrading, yada yada. He didn't confess or admit anything. Blah blah. Same ole same ole.

I'm saying all this because word is he has indicated his desire to represent himself on the charges in Boulder, once he gets to Boulder.

Oh, now I remember something else they said, lol. When asked by Diane Sawyer if he is a nutcase fruit loop and/or kookoo for Cocoa Puffs, they both crowed in unison that he is far from it - he is quite sane and not as he has been portrayed. He's "frightened" and disoriented from this long travel period - on and on.

And he didn't "choose" to have the luxury accommodations he received on the Thai flight, that decision was made for him. He has no control over anything that LE is doing to him. Aaggh.

Need to check my notes to see about the other lawyer and the name of the one I may have flubbed.

Patience Van Zandt

First name is Patience, not Patricia - sorry. Why is he in court so early?

The lawyer's name is Patience Van Zandt. She was the PD who was assigned to his misdemeanor porn charges in 2001. She is now in private practice. One of the other lawyers is Jane Harmon who I believe is in practice with Van Zandt.

Interesting.... he might want to represent himself in Boulder?

Right now, I am just hoping he waves extradition to Boulder. Furthermore, I hope Boulder is prepared to charge him with SOLID evidence.

I must have missed the part about the LE forcing open his mouth and puring the champagne down his throat, LOL!
