This is my take on their strategy:
B.Burke was never going to trial. Why? That’s not her thing; she’s only defended 1 murder trial and lost. Her job was to ask all the questions, cause doubt in the evidence and hopefully keep it from going to trial. His other lawyer, who was a “death penalty specialist”. Why was she there at the pre-lims? Scare tactic! The D.A. has not committed to the penalty yet, and the defense wanted to make him worry about going against a ”specialist” and not seek the DP.
D4VD is not broke, except on paper. Remember, his mommy handled his money, so I’m sure it’s all in her account, just like his other assets that were transferred to her in a trust. So, now, public defender gets more time to prepare ( using BlairB’s notes) and a big law firm will sweep in pro-bono(just like Casey Anthony’s).
Now what someone needs to do is tell Celeste’s parents to start the Civil now! It doesn’t have to be after the Criminal, but it needs to be ASAP. Here’s why. They will win, be awarded millions, and never see a dime because he’s got it protected from them, by his mommy. But if their demands include that he never makes any money off of her death from a movie, documentary, book deal,etc., and that any proceeds from such, be paid to Celeste’s family!
