Seems Samsel will say anything about Epps to be released or receive a light sentence.....
It has been my experience that, in court, one side will say "anything" to win a civil case or escape a criminal prosecution, and sometimes both sides will.
An attorney explained to me decades ago that half of law represents a losing side, which suggests "saying anything" is pro forma and de facto a description of such.
In politics, on the other hand, "there is no other hand."
I still am amused by the trouncing Liz Cheney (of the now infamous Russiagate commission) received in Wyoming, for which she derided them.
