***Did anyone see this LKL interview last night? Major barf alert!***

KING: We're back with Mark Geragos.

Off to the side, is it hard to handle two high profile cases at the same time?

GERAGOS: No. In fact, it's -- I've actually had the opposite experience. Normally, any busy lawyer, let alone any busy criminal defense lawyer, handles at least 15 to 20 serious cases at any one time. Because of these two cases, I have been able to delegate most of my other cases to other lawyers in the office. Plus I have a team of lawyers to do what I ask them to do, usually. And it's been a god send. I can concentrate in a way and focus in a way I normally can't.

KING: So the Peterson's and Jackson's totally understand?

GERAGOS: Jackie Peterson who I adore -- I really am blessed, yes. And I'm blessed in this sense, that both Katherine Jackson and Jackie Peterson are two of the strongest, most beautiful women that you will ever meet. And to my poor mother, I apologize. I talk to both of them more than I talk to my own mother. Jackie's response immediately and I adore it for her this. She said, Michael was blessed to be able to have me there. And I consider that a compliment.

***I should have posted the link in the previous post. This part of the interview caught my attention. Geragos talking about the Michael Jackson case being the "ultimate challenge" where someone if falsely accused. One would think that a client facing the death penalty....would be the ultimate challenge!****

GERAGOS: Somebody's life in your hands. If you a criminal defense lawyer, the ultimate challenge is this case. Where you've got somebody who is falsely accused who there are all kinds of parasites running around trying to make a buck based upon that false accusation. And you've got to -- you're there, you're standing between that client and the ultimate penalty.

"Katherine Jackson and Jackie Peterson are two of the most strongest, most beautiful women . . ."

Geragos must have his eyes checked. His credibility is sinking every time he opens his mouth.

He is doing a great disservice to his clients by his nonsense. More than one juror will simply tune him out -- he is so full of BS. Unfortunate if his client happens to be innocent.

The worst, however, are Geragos' threats of violence against anyone who will say anything negative about Michael: "come down on you like a hammer" or "ton of bricks." This is mob enforcer talking.

Thanks, Vel! Have been so busy getting ready for Christmas and with the wedding and all, haven't had time to post much! You did know that I was selected to be rb's matron of honor, didn't you? Was wondering if I could borrow one of your tiaras? My best one is at the jewelers getting a diamond replaced as luck would have it. ;^)

He got one thing right: He said "my poor mother."

I'm starting to have a hard time watching Mark Geragos no matter what he is talking about. Is he really such a terrific lawyer?
