The first and correct place for the blame is with the perpetrator, Tavares. All others are secondary.<br>In the case of the judge, if the truth is being told and the district attorney didn't do what he should and if she made the decision in accordance with the law, and if the code of legal ethics prohibits her from talking about it, then let's lay off the judge and blame the people who wrote the code, for her not being able to talk about it. You did do that in an indirect way but without enough emphasis.<br>Your point about a judges inability to communicate while a case is going on, but that they shouldn't be limited once a case is decided is very valid. The lawyers will attempt to defeat that by bringing up the probability of appeals and maybe that's another subject to be addressed.</p>jacrlsnSat, 08 Dec 2007 11:21:32 -0000
