In the case of Rikki Kleiman, a pro-defense leftie, I suspect that she was disappointed in the Skakel verdict.
To appear sympathetic to DW would be beyond the pale, even for Rikki.
The one thing I can't get out of my head with DW is that he waited until age 50, an adult with two grown children, to become a so-called pedophile. No priors at all for child molestation. If he did it, his motivation must have been revenge--maybe for a huge putdown from BVD. I honestly don't think the guy is a sexual predator.
