Peters, but don't think Cynthia Stewart ever worked for Peters while he was DA. She was did some death penalty defense work. As an aside, I think Speetjens is/was married to a Somebody at Malaco Records. Cynthia Speetjens used to work for D.A. Peters, but don’t think Cynthia Stewart ever worked for Peters while he was DA.

If Dickie gets less than three years at a Club Fed, I'd say Keker deserves a "w" for the work he did in Oxford. And if Dickie later cooperates in the investigation of Hood and Nutt, and gets no new time for later charges for that good citizenship, I'd give Keker a Capital "W." In my humble opinion, plea bargains like Dickie's should not count against a crim-defense lawyer's w/l record. I'd also eliminate from "losses" trials resulting in convictions after the Government makes no reasonable plea offer. It’s all in how you define w/l.

Also, how can one claim to be independent of the other when their counsel share an office? They even have the same phone and fax numbers. Weren't the Cynthias and DeLaughter all employed by Ed Peters in the DA's office. Talk about incest...

It doesn't seem to involve the least bit of consideration what documents one might have to answer for in a trial, or on cross-examination, or on a deposition. Whether or not to object is one thing. Explaining one's inability to recollect about improperly sharing orders in a particular case is another and isn't careful. It's sorta like this: Say your wife shows you a picture and says: "Did you sleep with this woman in the last year?" Will it help particularly to say: "I can't recall if she's one of the woman I've slept with in the last year." Is that answer particularly different, logically, from the response I linked? Personally, I'd just as soon confess as go with that one. I'd rather be the victim of a straightforward execution than the death of a thousand cuts.
