I am intrigued by the wording of the DA announcement “More information will be released” — sounds to me like they may be going to NOT CHARGE instead of Charge and may release some addtionally exculpatory information at the Press Conference.
As for the lawyers, who admit they have only talked to George by phone, they may have been replaced by someone that has been retained through connections with the father. Hence no need for George to continue communicating with them. They then have their little “last moment in the sun” press conference instead of just saying ‘we were fired’.
That is precisely how I read the situation yesterday as I watched their press conference. The lawyers lost the spotlight and the potential big score and were disappointed.
