Hrmm. Someone needs to crunch the video down to a reasonable size, and post it to youtube, et. al. Because once it’s on the Internet, it never really goes away …

I like this sentence in the press release:

“The defendants have taken advantage of Mr. Buzbee’s honesty and good will. Their sneaky behavior should not be tolerated.”

This is one of those “lips are moving” moments.

A defense attorney is watched like a hawk for exclusion of minorities from the jury and will be faced with a ‘Batson’ challenge if the plaintiff lawyer suspects a racial motive. But if the plaintiff lawyer has his own racial motive, well, I guess that’s OK — even to the point of ensuring that the entire jury pool is composed of the racial or ethnic group he knows will bring it home for him.
