She will argue lack of effective counsel on appeal.
Chaney Mason had a great rep here in O’do going into this trial. He was only second chair, but now he has “a lot of ‘splainin to do.”
During the penalty phase, will she admit doing it and ask for mercy?
Lots of questions.
I didn’t follow this case very closely until the trial but am now hooked. You mention Mason- I’ve heard about his reputation also but have watched him carefully and have really not seen him perform as a good or even once good-but-past-his-prime lawyer. Has he gotten “old”? He doesn’t seem ancient- late 60’s maybe? The best I’ve seen him do was when the jury was out of the courtroom yesterday when he argued against letting in the evidence from Cindy’s work records.
No doubt though- worst defense I’ve ever seen.
