I just don't like 'Trial By Media'... that's relaly my point-of-view on this... everything else is secondary... ;0)

For the record, I don't like the concept of trial by media either. If you noticed, on this thread, I'm mostly expressing opinions (and that's all that they are) about the behavior of the lawyers and the family. I'm leaning towards the "he's guilty" side, but we haven't seen much actual evidence (just spin). I have no idea what the State's case will look like.

But Geragos' tactics are kind of slimy, from the "declaration of war" against the grieving parents, all the way to the leaks. And I have to say, the satanic cult defense just really sounds hokey--almost as hokey as "we know who did it and we will prove it" sounds. If they already know, they should turn it over to the police--several attorneys have said that as officers of the court, it's their duty to turn it over to the police. They haven't, which makes it look pretty bogus. My opinion--Geragos and company are making Peterson look really, really guilty.

If you don't like Trial by media then go after the "Defense". The Prosecution are not allowed to go before the media whilst prosecuting a case. These Defense bums are flapping their gums on the Courthouse steps CONTINUOUSLY!! It's about time that Defense Lawyers had socks shoved down their throats. They need to be gagged and I believe that is exactly what THIS Judge (that Geragos attempted to have removed btw) is going to do.!!

Me,either. And this and the Westerfield case are perfect examples of it. They were both tried and hung before the cases have even started. That bugs me.
