He should not have promised exculpatory evidence he didn’t have. I doubt juries like being promised that and then it not being delivered. Gerragos needed to hit ever “doubt” he could, not talk about mysterious Hawaiians. Gerragos is a horrible defense lawyer.
Gerragos should have been disbarred for his vile behaviour during the trial.
The Judge was more concerned with the verdict standing than punishing that dirtbag lawyer.
IMO, better to let the verdict stand. It was well deserved.
