"This thing is being played to the public for sure, and for sure old Big Nose is making sure there's a false "bombshell" every weekend."
After thinking about this, I've come to the conclusion that MG just threw this out for weekend fodder. How could he address this in court without it hurting SP just as much or more than the prosecution? If he plays a tape of the tip or reads the transcript, it will be awful. The tipster says that SP would dispose of a body by putting weights on, throwing it in the sea, etc. is still pretty damning, even though duct tape is not mentioned. Am I off track here?

I know you did not post this to me, but from what I understand, the problem is that if the DUCT TAPE info is not on the taped interview, and Distaso did not bring it out in court,after Broccini testified to it, then the prosecution can be in trouble! ...or it's all another big fat red herring leaked to the media by Geragos!!...and remember, the last time Geragos did this and a member of the Modesto P.D. tried to counter act the spin, they were admonished by the judge.
Greta made such a big deal over the tipster's mention of duct tape the day it was testified about, she seems angry and is calling (IF what she is hearing is true)it now a HUGE, HUGE mistake if Broncchini lied about, inserted the duct tape mention....She is on a tear about it....
Aphrodite Jones is calling it "the OJ glove incident" of the trial. Mission accomplished for Geragos. Hello jurors!
No, you're on track, and that opinion was also voiced on Websleuths.
Over and over, we see Geragos faced with something that is damaging to Scott, and he invariably reacts in a way that makes whatever it is seem very glaring, very big, very memorable. I'm sorry, I have no business judging this hi-falutin' lawyer, but I just don't see any sense in his doing that!
This college friend statement was pronounced by BROCCHINI, of all people, to be NOT CREDIBLE. Why not let it go at that? And then remind the jury in closing arguments that BROCCHINI didn't even believe the tip, so they should just forget it? It was apparently a very weak tip, something even the prosecution thought not worth using, and here is Geragos making it seem like it was some big, significant thing that this college friend said.
As usual, I'm slow to catch on to some things, but I now realize that this is exactly as others on here saw from the very first: it is just this week's "bombshell", just part of a technique Geragos is using to hoodwink everyone. Just tabloid hyperbole!
