I haven't weighed in on whether I think O'Reilly has merit to his plan to lodge a complaint.
FWIW, while I have sympathy for his point of view, I don't think Feldman would be found to have done something which he should be disciplined for. I do believe that Cochran had similar complaints filed against him.
I am just posting my thoughts on how I find the presenting of scenarios a defense attorney knows to be false to the jury to be distasteful.

On one level, our system is quite simple. The prosecution exaggerats the value of their "evidence" and the defense exaggerates the value of "reasonable doubt". The jury then decides the "true" facts.
I thought you agreed with the jury's verdict? What's the problem? Would you have been happier if DW was given a much weaker defense? Why not have no trial at all then?
