The emails also underscore the increasing breakdown in trust with a growing number of defense lawyers who have regarded prosecutors’ tactics – including Willis assuming she will win – as inappropriately aggressive and presumptuous given the case remains months from a potential verdict.
How dare she assume that she could win a case she chose to take to trial! She should only bring cases to trial when she’s not sure she can win.
The remark about jail caused consternation with some of the defense lawyers, who have been aghast that the district attorney’s office would throw around what they took as a prison threat in a cavalier manner, according to multiple people familiar with the situation.
And she has the audacity to suggest that the defendants, who she assumes will be convicted of very serious crimes, will go to prison for those crimes? I’m not surprised that Trump’s defense team is screaming and rolling around on the ground like a soccer player who thinks someone may have brushed up against him, but I’m not sure why any of this is news?
