Well, I don't think anybody's commented yet on the guilt or innocence of any particular defendant. And yet, prosecutors do make those types of comments, depending on the prosecutor. Some do, some don't. No harm in a police officer or prosecutor saying the defendant is guilty, there wouldn't be a trial if they didn't think the defendant was guilty.
Friday night, the defense attorney for one of the defendants spoke with Greta Van Susteren, and was forthright in telling her that some of the things his client did would be offensive and degrading to anybody, but he was following orders. So I don't think denying what happened is going to be the defense.
If you saw that, too, it was very nicely played for a defense attorney, I thought. No bullshit, in the sense of "what the definition of 'is' is," just forthrightly blaming someone else. ;^) |
