I said that before the verdict. The minute I heard about her 21 minute defense case, I knew she was going down. I just didn't know it was going to be on all counts.
I also thought putting those e-mails from Fanuiel to his friend about her being a bitch hurt her more than helped her.

It certainly couldn't have been worse. Based on the evidence presented, the strategy seemed reasonable. Of course, given the nature of the charges, her explanation of what was going on surely would have helped.

I just think that if any defense counsel believes the idea that juries hold prosecutors to their burden of proving their cases beyond a reasonable doubt, they are fools. Without evidence from the defendant rebutting the prosecution's case, defendants rarely are found not guilty. I think juries want to hear a defendant make his or her case and when they don't, it makes them look guilty.
