OT wondering about the board lawyers point of view

What is the name of your state? curiosity


What do you think of the Scott Peterson case?

I'm not an attorney so it does not matter what I think. I keep picturing the Watergate era daily cartoons from Doonesbury in which Mark is shouting on the radio (re then Attorney General John Mitchell's involvement):

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!

I like hearing others opinions lol. I was just curious how a lawyer viewed the case but of course non lawyers can share their opinions too. I'm not biased

My response:

First, I have to care one way or the other . . .

Surely you have an opinion about the trial.

Surely you have an opinion about the trial.

My response:

Sure I do. The prosecution stinks, and the defense is doing a wonderful job. Whether he's actually guilty or not? I couldn't care less. I don't even understand why this case is being publicized. There are far "sexier" cases out there.

Which begs the question..have you ever had one of your cases in the national public eye?

My response:

Not in this manner. However, I am named as counsel in an Appellate court decision (which is still good law in California). Yes, I made new law in California. And no, I'm not giving you the cite.

I wouldn't have asked. I still have a shred of decorum left.
