3 /5 Luci Raymo: *DISCLAIMER: I have never utilized services personally from this practice and only am reviewing based upon what I have witnessed via the current televised trial where he is representing a high profile client within a murder trial. Please do your own research if you are requiring legal services and take my words with a grain of salt.*
I am a firm believer as anyone that any criminal defendant has a right to a fair trial with an impartial jury and unbiased judge.
Yet the behavior that this attorney has exhibited is beyond unprofessional. Of course he has a job to do and a difficult one at that when it comes to this current client.
Its one thing to make a mockery of our judicial system with his bogus requests on behalf of his client- makeup, hair stylist, wardrobe, snacks, and the like. But to get up in open court during a very emotionally charged trial where the family of the victim is present, criticizing the fact they couldnt hold themselves together while watching their loved one die at the hands of YOUR client, who by the way hasnt shed ONE tear; and using it as an opportunity to grandstand- is DISGUSTING.
Its clear that this lawyer has not one shred of integrity and will allow his ego to dictate his behavior. The fact he interrupts the judge at every turn, argues when he doesnt agree with a ruling, and allows his emotions to leak into his body language in front of the jury also is proof of the unprofessionalism.
Again, its one thing to fight for your client and to use evidence to plant seeds of reasonable doubt. But to base your whole defense on victim blaming, gas lighting, and just grandstanding is shameful. Theres no doubt that this lawyer who should be bound by ethics has any sense of integrity or human decency. I guess thats why him and Sarah Boone are a perfect match.
Even Jose Baez had human decency and his client was vile.
