Martha Stewart
OK - I heard that Martha's attorneys on cross exam brought into evidence e-mails that Fanueil (sp?) wrote to friends about how rude and what a diva-bitch she is and how she basically treated him like he was a servant to attempt to show that he has a grudge against her.
What a bunch of fucking idiots Martha's attorneys must be. Working class or otherwise not super wealthy people on a jury are very likely to have this pre-conceived idea that someone like Martha would think she has this sense of entitlement and is above the law. Showing how she treats the "little people" (Leona Helmsley's words) is not going to help the defense show that the witness is lying as much as it is going to confirm in the jurors' minds that Martha indeed thinks she is above the law.
Some lawyers have no common sense or make so much money that they are out of touch with how a person on a jury would perceive something like that.
If this type of blunder by the defense continues, I might have to reverse my prediction that she is going to be acquitted.
Perhaps even worse is listening to some legal "pundit" who has probably never even tried a case saying it was a good day in court for Martha. Geez.
