But what was the principle behind the thinking?
It was this.
It was exactly what you're talking about.
It was that the attempt to win the media battle
was never going to be in your favor, or it was almost never going to be in your favor, and you wouldn't know the cases where it was going to be in your favor.
And so you might sacrifice clients, right, by thinking that you were going to win the media battle.
Because if you're effective, the only thing you're going to do is piss off the prosecutor, who's like, why are you taking this case to the media?
And so if you have a claim for mitigation, if you want to kind of get that sympathy, if you want to make the case that Keith and his daughters were trying to make, that there was a reason behind these actions, that he wasn't a career criminal, that you should have sympathy for him.
The three places to make that are number one, in the prosecutor's office, number two, in front of the jury, and number three, in front of the judge.
And you hope that you're successful at the prosecutor's office so you never get to the jury.
Got it.
And then if you succeed in front of the jury, you get an acquittal and you never get to the judge for sentencing.
But your last stop is the judge.
But it's never pretrial.
It's never when Keith and his daughters tried to do it.
Yeah, I mean, guess what?
The media is not your friend.
Yeah, no, I mean, no offense, right?
No offense, but the reason why we give this training and the reason why when I was a lawyer I received this training
is that your agenda is not their agenda.
