[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hasn't Parisa never been in a courtroom?

Theo did some f'd up things so she deserved to be ousted, but kind of scared of Parisa's glazed over eyes SJW free-for-all mindset.[/quote]

Parisa has never prosecuted a case, but she’s been in plenty or courtrooms. Prosecuting a case isn’t rocket science, and most cases plead out anyway. She’s a really talented lawyer, so i’m Guessing she can figure out how to do a direct, a plea colloquy, and a sentencing hearing. Not that the person who runs the office should be doing many of those.

Being an innocence lawyer involves investigating whether the claims are BS and, if not, developing facts to prove it. You have to think through how they’ll be in court, whether their testimony will be admissible, whether you can corroborate their story, and whether they’ll appear credible. All of those things are transferable skills and things many of us in the defense community would love to see prosecutors do more of  (especially the corroborating).[/quote]

Where is your defense community?  [/quote]

I practice in and around DC, but I don’t think those feelings are unique to this area. Many who care about the accuracy of the criminal-justice system would prefer to see prosecutors corroborate testimony (particularly incentivized testimony) more carefully.[/quote]
