It's "never a dull moment" when she's on the case, too.

When she steps out in front of a client, people back off the client. She did a great job with that girlfriend of the wife murderer Scott Peterson--she just wouldn't allow that young woman to be trashed.

She's also a role model for a vigorous career in one's later years...so what's not to like?

She trusted the Globe to motion to lift the gag order, and they stabbed her in the back. She could have filed the motion herself, but went along with their's. Although Stemberg would have probably objected and it probably would have been drawn out - far past the election, for sure.

I read the testimony. The MR campaign is correct - it's just a bunch of financial mumbo-jumbo and without having someone (Ms. Stemberg) put it in context, it means nothing.

Bet the Globe realized this too and are probably sorry they didn't pursue the gag lift. At least tried.

for her client. All we know about her client is this--the woman is gagged, and she KNEW Mittsy and Annie. She might have some tales to tell. I think there may be some "there" there...who knows?

We do know that Mittsy undervalued the stock. Of course, that's not actionable because OPINION isn't--and he was giving his supposed opinion. However, it could be said that he's a pisspoor businessman if he couldn't tell if his company was any good--it should make anyone worry about his decision-making ability to steward the future of ANY enterprise, never mind the fate of the USA!

I wouldn't trust him to make accurate predictions about the earning power of a farm stand after a great growing season!

Frey, and without Frey's testimony, I don't think Lacey Peterson would have gotten legal justice for her murder.

...today DON'T expect to be treated better. Seems a lot of women haven't been educating their daughters in this respect. You can imagine how the First Lady teaches Malia and Sasha, by SHOWING and telling - lucky girls!

way, they'll find out why feminists fought to change things from the good old days.

I have seen a staggering amount of ignorant posts trashing her here on DU. It sadly reminds me that the same enemy she is fighting out there is ever present right here.

who help me see when I'm wrong. Here's hoping the article will win over some members of the enemy within.

that Gloria was an Obama supporter and delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. She was not in the VIP section. She was on the floor with the California delegation like a regular person.

So when I see all the guys that post nasty comments about her on DU I always silently ask myself "What have you done to re-elect the President? What have you contributed to the local/state Democratic party? What have you done to support the disenfranchised?" The answer is obvious.

It pisses me off.

I'd be copping a plea so fast.. LOL

plenty of replies, its just none of you could see them!

for saying what needed to be said.

people in this forum would hate her just for that.

She's okay, whether she's a Democrat (which it looks like she is) or a Republican. I base my opinion on seeing her around in the news and on TV for a couple of decades.

"She is ego and news driven..." You assigned to her a negative motive for her life's work. WTF.

If any person contradicts sexism, I am happy.. and I don't care how they look or how they do it!

She was a regular guest. She was a good sport. But over the years, she has developed a reputation for integrating herself in high profile news cases...not necessarily justifiable cases that weren't big in the news...and her first order of business is to go on TV. She is, like most successful people, ego-driven.

That may be a negative to you. I did not say it was a negative, though, did I? In fact, I said that was ok.

Do you actually know her?

yrs.

You have your opinion. I have mine. What's your problem with people having an opinion? I didn't even say it was a negative. You seem to have a beef with my terminology. Weird. Don't you have better things to worry about?

You didn't answer my question. She was a regular on the Morton Downey show in the 1980s. That's how she got famous. Did you see her on that show? That show was the pre-cursor to the Jerry Springer Show, some say. That was the general style of it, except it was on in the evenings.

the article I posted? If not, please do if you get a chance. I think you will see what she feels her justification is for most of her cases.

As for the publicity-seeking, well, also part of her winning strategy. We're inclined to find that unseemly, especially in a woman, but I think that's because we've been conditioned by society's misogyny and that often that technique is used for unseemly ends. I think she is using it for good.

Why would any liberal trash her?

indoctrination.

We can't be well informed on every issue, and so we sometimes rely on the chatter. Even after all the times I found they were wrong, even having had liberal views on most things ever since I can remember, I still fall for that crap on occasion. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Is it any wonder the "conservatives" fall for it?

use the media to gain advantage for her client.

The reason she could never be confused with a Republican is because they don't fight for women...they usually fight with them, or against them!

She's most definitely a long-term Dem with impeccable social justice credentials, and was a delegate to the convention this year.

I wonder if the families of the Duke lacrosse team members feel as favorably towards Allred as you do?

except, of course, in all the breathless right wing internet huffing.

Mike Nifong was the DA.

Allred is not a DA or Assistant DA in Durham County, NC.

prosecutor looking to gain advantage for re-election. I think you need to retract your comment, there.

but you've set a new standard.

P.S.

Allred represented Nicole Brown Simpson's family. Fell better now?

Her firm also does a huge amount of pro bono work for disadvantaged women.

She is one of the "good guys."

I like her too.

Also, it's a common expression and so good for a title. If you are offended because that "you " isn't you, perhaps you want to say something supportive about her rather than becoming sidelined by a common turn of phrase.

If that "you" is you, then I was referring to you and was hoping you might read the article and reconsider. Not that complicated, really.

"You people," ala Queen Romney. : )
