I think that all along they've wanted it to be a DX case. That was an option when they arrested him 5 days before the body was found.

Other question though. In the PH, Dusek was saying essentially that he thought Defense should have asked for more time, and apparently he didn't like the speedy PH/trial that Feldman was pushing for. Why do you think that is? Why would he have questioned it at the PH, when not all of the results were back? Was he unsure? Since they are still under gag, and if Pfingst ask for DX, people will assume that he has a lock. He's connecting the same dots he used when the equation was porn=murderer, while tossing out all of the other relevant variables.

We shall see what happens. Just hope they have their ducks in a row if that is indeed the direction they are going. I just don't see it in the scenario they've given so far. JMO.

I’ll give you my thoughts. This is a big, big case, and cases like this hardly ever go to trial without some continuances (extensions of time) being granted first. Many people here have remarked, I think correctly, that Feldman’s obvious theory all along was to push this to trial ASAP in the hopes of catching the state unprepared. It’s very difficult (and rare) for the state to prepare such a big case in such a short amount of time. You know, they do actually have other cases to deal with! OTOH, I suspect old Feldman – now being paid with all you lucky Californians’ taxpayer dollars – has done nothing but work this particular case since he got it. Plus how ever many associates, secretaries, legal assistants, and investigators the taxpayers are also paying for. I’m sure the state is having a hell of a time keeping up. After all, they are the ones who have to actually prove the case. Feldman could sit there and do nothing, put on no defense of his own. He won’t (but he could), and it’s the state that is really under the gun on this one. I think it’s quite a smart strategy. But that’s what it is, it’s a strategy, a calculated decision, and it seems to be working well. Plus, just as a side benefit, he gets to point fingers at the state and say that they are dragging their feet. It’s win-win for Feldman!
