I don't how many of you watched the Mark Chmura trial about a year-and-a-half ago,

I couldn't bear watching, I was so disappointed with Chmura. We're Packer fans, plus, Chmura had been featured in the Catholic newspaper when we lived in WI as a good guy! Bummer...(Gerald Boyle was Dahmer's atty, too)

Re: Chmura trial. My gut told me he was guilty, much more than my gut tells me Westerfield is guilty, but by the time Boyle had finished his cross-ex of the first witness I knew it was all over for the prosecution. In a kind, fatherly manner he walked the female witness through the night, and by the time he'd gotten to the end she'd had something around 16 drinks and (like most of the kids at the party) was too blitzed to be reliable. Chmura's career kinda went down the drain, though.

The Dahmer dig was a bit unnecessary -- somebody had to defend the guy, and Boyle had the guts to do it. I'm too lazy to go check but I think Boyle went with an insantiy plea, which seemed like the only realistic move with a guy like Dahmer.
