The z punk is not someone who would be easily defended.

But then again I'm talking about a lawyer here so who knows

Peace

Never hire a lawyer who "never loses".

I love those guys. They take easy cases, do a lot of PR, and can rattle off win after win.

Hospitals even get caught doing this once in a while - "Our success rate with XYZ procedure is better than anyone else's" - sure, because you only treat the most promising patients.

before it even started.

wonder where they found this one?

and knowing he was about to be charged. Yes, he seems pretty overwhelmed.

I like what he is saying about Trayvon.. he sounds fair and sympathetic to the victim, not like the last pair of nimcompoops.

showing some competency. I believe Zimmerman DID commit murder and would not like him to get off due to the incompetency of his representation which, if the two yahoos who previously claimed to represent him continued to do so, competency on their part was already a big question mark.

charges were going to come. Family contacted me and I was referred by other lawyers."

that's what came to my mind

I checked out O'Mara's website. He's virtually a solo practitioner, and practices a lot of family law, eg. divorce.

He's probably no Johnny Cochran, who was amazing in the OJ case, but he may be another placeholder.

If O'Mara is the attorney, I think that he will need co-counsel because this case will take up twice the time that O'Mara has.

There may be some right wing money that could get some really serious criminal defense attorneys interested.

Ya gotta think he has some mystique at this point with a jury...

He's gonna try to plead him out.

Man 2...48-52 months, minimum security.

agree to that, and they do have a say in the matter.

However, O'Mara has only been Z's lawyer for a few hours.

I just hope that O'Mara doesn't lean toward plea because O'Mara is in over his head.

I used to practice, but never criminal law.

fair and tempered and logical.

from the sideshow that was the Law Offices of Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.

So he's a lawyer now.

That's good I guess.

He was difuse on purpose.

His objective was to be new, setting aside all the events and emotions that preceded, and be likable or sypathetic. He presented himself, tonaly, almost as an impartial figure, interested primarily in justice.

No judgements. No pat story. No heat.

He did not inspire outrage. He did not take fixed positions that contradict and harden positions.

It was a good performance for the court of public opinion.

And did not push the prosecution into any public oppositional position, which is useful for pleading out.

This guy is toast.
He had a great defense team then ignores them, speaks to the DA?
Says a lot about him, none of it good.
His losing streak is going to continue.

The first one never even defended a homicide suspect before. I don't think Zimmerman is the case one should start with.

Measured, smart, media savvy.
