He can't. He doesn't have it in him. He has no sense of duty to his client.
Mark O'Mara hates the Stand Your Ground laws and is on record opposing them. So just how strong a defense will he provide in the upcoming SYG hearing.
The most important thing in the SYG hearing is the defendant's credibility, and yet here is his own lawyer MoM going on news shows admitting to his client's credibility problems. What kind of lawyer does that to his client???
What kind of lawyer puts his client on the witness stand in a bailbond hearing subjecting him to cross-examination without preparation??? What kind of lawyer enters a bailbond hearing without a readout from the Paypal account that he knows about and knows that everybody on planet earth knows about???
The blame for that first hearing should fall on his shoulders but he is running around bleming it on GZ and his wife.
And now he's whining that the state hasn't sent him a plea offer yet. When you are innocent and your lawyer has thrown in the towel, it is time for him to go.
Mark O'Mara has been an utter disaster and needs to go.
The highest military appeals court has upheld the conviction of Lt. Michael Behenna. The court upheld that as the “initial aggressor” he had lost his right to self-defense, even when being assaulted.
I wonder if similar logic will be applied to the Zimmerman case?
