    That lawyer that supposedly never lost a case is actually being investigated and was charged for wrongfully convicting a young man from Brooklyn. The BK man was convicted due to a Jail informant that was paid by this lawyer....so she is not legit not right for this situation and prob should not have her own show.... If you want more info you can watch the 20/20 episode this week called "Undercover Mother"

      If you look at every prosecutor and cop I'm sure you'll see a few of these records on them. Every year people in jail are being found innocent due to DNA evidence or eye witness statement exonerating them. I wonder how many other men are not so lucky. Some people are so obsessed with solving a case or so focused on one suspect that they make the evidence frame them.

      She never said the words "black skin". As a 3 year old she said "Black man, green car." When it comes to children that young you really have to take that with a grain of salt because they could mean just what she actually meant when they finally put her under hypnosis, which was, black pants. Once under hypnosis it came out she saw black pants.
      I completely understand the entire "Blame the nonexistent black man" thing because it happens all too often from ignorant adults. However, when dealing with children that young adults should really dig deeper into what children mean when they say things because children are so literal. For example, as a 3 year old my son would often said things like, "Why is that pink lady doing that?" or "Look at that blue man". I would be thinking to myself, "What in the world?" and look over and it's someone wearing those colors prominently.
