I have tried to be fair to Mudd, but I think his bias is extremely disturbing.
He went out of his way to establish a friendly rapport with the jury. That's fine if a judge remains poker-faced, so-to-speak. But if the judge is going to lay all his cards face up, the cozying up to the jurors seems more like part of a scheme.
All that is left to do is pray for justice. Only God and a very few people know the truth of what happened last February.
In my most objective view, I think David Westerfield just happened to be a little too single, a little too adventurous, a little too neat and a little too convenient at a time when an arrest and conviction had to be delivered for the boss man.
It's no different than any other self-preservation political situation, but this time a man's life is on the line. May God help him and help us all.
I agree. The only way I could think charitably of him would be if he suspects that the jury will wrongfully convict, he has given Feldman the gift of a gazillion grounds for guaranteed appeal. Hopefully after an outside, disinterested LE agency has had the opportunity to review and analyze the evidence.
