Botsford is still the only criminal lawyer on the team and he is one of the best in Texas. The prosecutor also has a top reputation in criminal law. As does the judge.
The rest of them are political/PR lawyers, except for Buzbee who is a personal injury lawyer.
Schmidt isn't a lawyer, he is a campaign strategist and his biography calls him the "Lord of Outrage" and an elbows out campaigner.
The longer Perry stays on the Lehmbert attack, the worse it is. He has to go after the prosecutor McCrum.
This could get nasty.
