The two attorneys were collegial during the two weeks of jury selection, but earlier, their criticism of each other turned bitter. De la Rionda has repeatedly accused O'Mara of grandstanding and playing to the media. O'Mara has accused the prosecutor of failing to turn over key information in the case, including that the state's most important witness lied under oath....
Grandstanding and playing to the media is part of O'Mara's job. The latter part is in regards to discovery and could be considered professional misconduct. That's a big deal.
I am sorry. I meant to post 90 days. That was what I read
in a Tampa newspaper. Thanks for the post.
MoM is the nice guy friendly defense lawyer that will make friends with the jury by being nice to all witnesses, while making prosecution witnesses look stupid and untrustworthy.
