A defense attorney whose client killed two men in a drunken crash found himself before the same judge Friday, accused of contempt for allegedly telling a witness to disappear so prosecutors could not recall her during the trial.
McCrum won the contempt case on a technicality, BTW. After he was found in contempt an appeals court vacated the order on a procedural basis. Essentially, the DA had four months to act and did not file in time. Imagine any one of "the little people" being let off the hook for felony witness tampering because of what is effectively a four months [!]statute of limitations.
Note also that McCrum never denied he told the witness to disappear so the prosecution wouldn't find her. In his defense he argued two things: 1) The judge hadn't made it clear that the witness might be recalled, therefore it was not improper to tell her to disappear and 2) Before the appeals board he claimed that the DA hadn't asked for contempt within the statutory period.
McCrum never disputed the witness' sworn affidavit that he had told her to vanish.
This guy is scum.
Since Obama likes him and appointed him he would be scum, liberal scum at that.
The guy is a lawyer, right?
