It seems to me if the case is hopeless, then they try this sort of crazy stuff. Nothing to lose is there? Especially if it is a public defender. Like with RA and DB. With Kohberger i think his case is hopeless. Is he paying his defence?
One part i did see of Tom last night, people were begging or asking him to do another case or at least stay in it with a new one, etc. He has looked at Kohberger and LISK but thinks they are both solidly guilty and so he said no, probably won't be doing those. He is imo naive in a respect. He did Missy Bevers and Delphi as he hopes his skills, research, etc. might help solve them. But in LISK and Kohberger, there's plenty and he feels they have them, so it is not a whodunit he can help with (my paraphrasing). He's got some real computer skills etc. in finding stuff. But also a bit naive in that he is realizing overall we don't have the same shared or known that LE knows when one wants to try to help. People want him to do LISK, Kohberger, etc. as he IS such a voice of sanity, and he has read up on them, but the interest for him to cover isn't there because in his opinion they have the right perp and enough to convict. I do think LISK could be responsible for a ton of others and that you'd think would get him thinking he could look into it but he's not really a crime person. Perhaps it's why cynical me thinks him so refreshing. And a calming place in these over the top cases.
No, BK, Kohberger has a public defender or an atty who is death qualified to act as one. He is not paying her, nor is his family. Pretty sure I have that right. In the States, hard to explain but in a nutshell, some work only for the public defenders' offices in varying states and are only mostly public defenders, often for the lesser crimes. BUT attorneys with real practices, I think it is required in some way but DP might be different, but most attorneys have to do a share of not pro bono work but work as or fill in as state paid public defenders. GALs in custody cases, etc. Those are more minor ones. In a murder case, we learned it, the hard way, it's different. At least in our state. Our perp at first was with a state paid private practive atty and we were like WTH. Actually to be honeset more like WTF. Detective explained to me that for instance most full time public defenders are on more smaller level cases. Traffic, OWIs, minor drug charges.a bit higher stuff maybe like assaults. But when someone is charged with murder for instance, they have to be sure the defendant has someone who's handled murder cases before, etc. to be fair. AND DP is another story. This was all new to us. So that's where attorneys who may have a private practice and are not working only as a public defender come in. An attorney who has handled murder cases, or DP cases,. etc. And the State will pay them. They are acting as a public defender in the sense they are put on and not private paid but they are not a daily public defender. I hope I'm making sense. I know I've had some wandering posts this morning but this one I'm pretty certain of.
Annie for BK is a DP supposedly well regarded DP attorney (I don't agree but then that's me, I find a lot of her filings fluff but she can do them much more professional versus B & R). But she is state paid. He is facing the DP and he he has to have a death qualified attorney. We saw some of this in DB, Delphi (not DP but private versus state appointed with B & R), etc.
Learned a fair amount of this in our case, not the same at all but we were shocked when he owned a home, had a good job and ended up with an attorney from a city an hour away who I thought of as private practice. We had a fit understandably. Well I did for sure. And it was explained to me. I still don't understand when he had assets how he could but not sure at that point he didn't have to pay anything, just that part was funded maybe? The way ours ended up, he dumped that one he was lucky to have imo and he DID have a private paid guy who actually had to FLY UP. So clearly the money was there... For private paid. For a few years...I think he may have wasted a lot of grandma's money or bankrupted a lot of his 401K, etc., also moved assets which has a lot to do with my griping about such in some cases recently.
Now I am getting a bit wandering.
And I don't know if this makes any sense from you not being from here, BUT let me tell you I did not know a lot about it until learning of it the hard way.
Anyhow BK's atty is state paid. Death qualified, supposedly good and a shark (I don't see that but talking head said so in the beginnning).
RA's B & R were state paid and appointed but then tried to go private and pro bono. Didn't work.
I can see where it would be confusing because it is to all of us. And most never know of such until they deal with it and even then it's confusing.
Okay. I haven't lost the day. It's 9:30. Not afternoon or anything lol. I am NEVER off on a Sunday.
LISK also has public defenders or murder qualifed ones appointed who are not full time public defenders' office. For all the money Asa and him have made, it's transferred or whatever so they can use free ones and they played the game. And so it does not devastate the assets. That is SO wrong.
And if I find out CB got real butter for Thanksgiving or Christmas I am going to be writing authorities and having a sh*t fit. Half kidding LOL but...
Going to go do the few dishes. At least mostly caught up on those.
