......or OMD or any of the other esteemed Esqs on the thread. I heard on one of those programs that there is actually a law on the books that states that a lawyer can't lie to or mislead the jury/court. Don't know if these guys qualify for that - but it was suggested that they did.

I have several rules about arguments and legal presentations, whether to court or jury: 1. Any argument must pass the "straight face" test (i.e., if I can't say it with a straight face, it's a loser or otherwise inappropriate) 2. It has to not only be credible, but based on evidence and a good faith belief in viability. My integrity is too important to me to throw it away for any client. 3. Being an aggressive advocate does not mean being unethical. The Westerfield lawyers will undoubtedly be hearing from the state bar before this is over, as well they should.
