I think he is doing what he is doing in order to protect himself from a malpractice lawsuit once the K’s lose. Even if it isn’t conventional, he can at least point back and say, I did what they asked, even if it wasn’t correct or advised.
I’m 100 posts behind, so maybe someone else pointed this out already, but I am certain that long ago, in maybe one or two previous threads, LK posted herself about writing a “victim statement” to the judge. Does no one else recall that?
I suspect that these 50 exhibits are pages and pages of posts - not 1 exhibit per post (purely going off how evidence was entered at exhibits in the JD/AH trial).
It is a truthful statement.
They were unable to ask them, true. But they did not ask and fully explore.
I doubt anyone on Michael’s team finds that line upsetting.
I think the dates at the end of the name are what keeps them clear which is which.
I wonder if she used the same photographer for that picture as was used for the LK photos involving the ugly floral blouse that ran in the NYT puff piece.
In my experience, which is not in NJ, when judges get to having feelings about attorneys, it does lead to the judge very much scrutinizing that attorneys work.
I have also witnessed first hand- as in i was opposing counsel on the case- a judge do a one-eighty on two cases with essentially identical facts because the defense attorney and the judge didn’t like each other.
It was shocking to me, even though it meant the judge granted my motion.
