In this instance what would be your reaction if a white State's attorney issued a protective order of an autopsy of a black victim who was shot by police? Might they be different? As I stated before: If she was white, she is trying to cover something up. If black it is special circumstances.

Why is the race of the prosecutor so relevant to you? It has nothing to do with what is going on in this instance.
What we're talking about here is simple legal strategy. It goes like this- Assume I'm defending the police in this case. Even though I've seen the autopsy report before the trial as part of standard pre-trial discovery, I know that when it is introduced at trial it will follow testimony by the coroner who performed the autopsy. That coroner is not permitted to discuss his testimony with the press prior to the trial. In his testimony, the coroner will explain the findings of the autopsy in a manner that will presumably be favorable to the prosecution. If I feel that the autopsy report could be problematic for my client, I may well want it to be publicly released prior to trial so that I can preempt the coroner's interpretation by giving my own interpretation to the public before he testifies, thus potentially influencing the jury pool. As a general rule, the side that wants conduct a trial in the press, probably has the weaker case. And the side that has the weaker case generally shouts the loudest. There's an old adage in the law- When the facts are on your side, argue the facts. When the law is on your side, argue the law. When neither the law or the facts are on your side, talk louder and pound on the table. Now take a look at which side is doing the table pounding. |

However I did not say but should have exploit it if it favors your case. I believe the point you made is that it depends on how one would procede with their defense or prosecution. So maybe no right or wrong. It would just depend on the lawyer's strategy . Bob, race is not just important to me as you well know and I know you do. It is and has been important in just about all of these sort of cases. To think otherwise is to have blinders on.

Nonetheless, the prosecutor's race has nothing to do with not wanting the autopsy reports released to the public prior to trial.
And NOTHING is being "supressed" here. Suppression would take place if the court ruled the autopsy report inadmissible. The defense has full access to ALL of the State's evidence, including the autopsy report. They will be free to call their own expert at trial to rebut the coroner's testimony. Do you remember the Casey Anthony murder trial? The defense expertly played the "try it in the media" card prior to, and during the trial. How did you like the result? If you believe that the prosecutor's race has anything to do with wanting the case tried in court rather than in the media, I suggest that it is you who has the blinders on. |

That is what I mean when I mention race. Agreed, the Casey Anthony outcome was a debacle. I certainly would not want something like that again.

I agree that the fact that the some of the defendants are white and the victim is black obviously is a factor in the minds of many. But you originally were referring to the race of the prosecutor, which, I submit once again, has nothing to do with the strategic moves being played out regarding the public release of the autopsy report.
If I were the prosecutor, and I'm about as white as you can get, I'd vehemently oppose any attempt by the defense to try the case in the media. And I believe that any conscientious prosecutor would do the same. I believe that whenever a case is fought in public and turned into a media circus, the first casualties are often justice, and impartial jury, and a fair trial. As I said much earlier, the public's right to know MUST be balanced against the right of the defendant AND the state to a fair trial. |

Does the public right to know state that they must know it real time?

Thanks, aces.
Sometimes the strategies used in court are pretty predictable. Many defense lawyers, when presented with cases that carry a high probability of conviction, will do all in their power to turn the proceedings into a chaotic media circus. Not only does that put the whole thing up for grabs, but virtually guarantees enough errors during the trial to insure a viable appeal in the event of a conviction. It's the job of the judge to try to insure that sort of thing doesn't happen. Unfortunately, many of them just aren't up to the task. Recall what happened when Judge Ito pretty much let the defense do whatever they wanted to in the OJ Simpson murder case. And the prosecutors weren't much better because it seemed that they really enjoyed basking in the media spotlight with what they thought was going to be a slam dunk victory. But when they met the "Dream Team" (F. Lee Bailey, Johnny Cochran, Robert Kardashian and Alan Derschowitz), who had far more experience in both working the media and exploiting it, they never knew what hit them and never saw it coming. They made the state's attorneys look like amateurs and, quite literally, employed tactics that allowed their client to get away with murder. I think it's important that we don't let the same thing happen in Baltimore. Keep the trial in the courtroom. |
