I hate to say it. But this defendant will have a strong case on appeal for ineffective counsel. She is clearly grasping at straws. Her words are coming out unorganized, strained and incoherent.
This defense attorney is horrible. She smirks and laughs and makes faces at the judge. Is it really a privilege to defend a man that beat a 4 foot 11” woman, a beautiful innocent woman, to death?? A privilege?? No the prosecutor has SOLID evidence. The evidence will show he’s guilty as hell.
She’s choking on her own words . Former colleague - never witnessed Kathleen in such a horrible position . She has a job . I feel she’s so disgusted by him ; yet, she must go thru the motions as per her position. She’s actually a very good attorney // she just can’t swallow his innocence,
Umm - if she can’t seem to act professional and “shallow his innocence” - SHE SHOULDNT BE A DEFENSE ATTORNEY. It’s pathetic to hear you making excuses for this horrendous display of defense. WHATTTT IS SHE DOING IN THIS POSITION IF SHE CANT DO HER JOB WELL UNLESS SHE believes the defendant as well. Believe your client has nothing to do with your ability to defend properly
Carol Sing.... Total BS .......She totally believes Jimmy rae Roger's 101% . She goes through irrelevant details TRYING to get him off .🤣🤣 BUTTT IT DIDNT WORK KATHLEEN 😂😂 Try harder next trial please ....... she chokes on her words because she's stuck for words .😂😂
With so much incontrovertible evidence against her client, there was very little this attorney could have done do; what credible counterargument could she have brought forth?
she completely bombed. not that it mattered. this trial was more important for her than jimmy. gonna be tough selling yourself as a trial lawyer after this
Got to 😄 at her piss poor attempt to double bluff the judge & jury on his behalf. I love that petrified look on his pathetic face😳. Throw away the Key 🤣
If I had been as uncomfortable and unsure of myself as this woman is, they’d have had to drag me out from under my bed kicking and screaming to get me to go to work every morning! I almost think she’s on some kind of sumthin’ to calm her down, but maybe this is her, I dk.
This woman acts like she was just given this case 5 minutes ago. She mumbles under her breath when she doesn't get the answer she's wanting and all of her smirking, Omgosh does she think she's going to win over the jury by doing all that extra crap?... She's so unprofessional, it's disgusting and for her bosses she should be considered an embarrassment! She doesn't have a clue on what she's doing. If I didn't want to hear her lies I would skip over her.
I have to disagree. This defence lawyer in the end kept Jimmy Rodgers from the gallows. Compare her to the guy “defending” Mark Sievers and she comes off looking like Albert Einstein. Anyway, I think she presented the most brilliant defence possible for dumb-assed Mr Rodgers. The only thing missing from the video was his dunce cap.
JusticeAA: Nope, haven’t smoked any “eriosu” weed in a long time, lol. In fact I’m not even sure what it is. Anyway, you can have a seat on that stool over there in the corner and I’ll see if you can borrow Jimmy’s dunce cap. Brb.
Put hair up/out of the way. For fack sake - it looks like a ‘Karen’ accidentally stumbled into a courtroom.. But b/c her nephew watch’s Law and Order, she thinks she can handle it/knows it al
Yes, I believe she does have a Tic, two actually. The hair flick Tic is most likely exaggerated because of the hair in her eyes. The smirk Tic makes me wonder, because it’s on the same side of her face as the hair Tic, if it’s some sort of medical condition such as a slight Bell’s Palsy. I’m a RN so I tend to think about possible medical conditions. If it’s a bad habit, then she needs to figure it out, at the very least she needs to pin her hair back with bobby-pins. Super distracting.
I read the comments on the clips where the Prosecution's Hamid Hunter is giving his opening arguments, and the comments couldn't possibly be more effusively laudatory ("This prosecutor is AWESOME!" "Way to go, Hamid Hunter!"). _Then,_ I read the comments here, where it is the Defense counsel giving their opening arguments -- and it's the complete _opposite!_ I gotta say, I think this has less to do with the quality of the respective attorneys, than it does human nature and our desire to see justice done in such a senseless, tragic atrocity as this case represents. Don't get me wrong: Hamid Hunter is a _superlative_ attorney: very capable in his ability to draw listeners in, and in marshaling the evidence to support his case. The guy's still young, and he's going places. But Kathleen Fitzgeorge did _way better_ than many of you would have us believe -- your opinions of her being tinted by the person whom she represents. I see idiotic comments everywhere, about such trifling matters as her hairstyle. It's crazy! In _reality,_ she did as well as could be expected, really. If I were accused of a crime (falsely, I'd hope), I'd be very comfortable being represented by an attorney of her caliber. Sometimes, you just don't have a lot to work with, as far as the evidence goes.
Terrible opening. She is painful to try to listen to and follow. She can hardly complete one sentence without stopping over and over again.
The white haired lawyer even looks confused!
The look on the defendant’s face says it all... the defense attorney is up there droning on and he’s back there at the table thinking “I’m screwed.”
I hate to say it. But this defendant will have a strong case on appeal for ineffective counsel. She is clearly grasping at straws. Her words are coming out unorganized, strained and incoherent.
JusticeAA And what exactly is it about her that is effective?
I wonder how long she has been an attorney bc she acts very inexperienced.
Yeah.... I felt bored with her opening. I mean Alan Shore can do a better job
She speaks sooooooooooooooooooo slowly. I had to speed it to 1.50 to follow.
Thank you! I set it to 1.5. So much more interesting!

The crime scene is actually where the crime took place 😳
AWESOME
😂😂🔨🔨
Duhh
Tonya Harding is an attorney now????
She’s choking on her own words . Former colleague - never witnessed Kathleen in such a horrible position . She has a job . I feel she’s so disgusted by him ; yet, she must go thru the motions as per her position. She’s actually a very good attorney // she just can’t swallow his innocence,
UA-cam Veterinarian, yes, a Public Defender.

Jimmy is frowning throughout this opening and looks completely baffled, as if to say 'is SHE REALLY representing me???'😨
Jimmy is sat listening to miss hair flick thinking "Oh bollocks even I don't believe her"
He looks horrified. Probably thought he had a chance until she started talking.
These comments make it all worthwhile suffering through this thing! 😂
Needs a new haircut,always pushing hair out of her eyes. Very disturbing to watch.
@macdonald tramp shes smirking because of having to defend her client when she knows full well he is guilty
And when judge kyle handed sentence down to jimmy none of his defence lawyers would wait and give a statement "wonder why"
Worst opening ever! This is painful to listen to
Wow what a cringey attorney. Fist time ever standing trial it seems
A defense is one thing. Flat out lying is a sin.
She's a good lawyer. Everyone else wants to bash her. I think she's beautiful and did a great job considering the many parts of this confusing crime.
This attorney does not seem to believe her own opening. 🤣😳🤔
neither does grey haired dude! :)
The bald bloke with his glasses perched up his head doesn't look convinced either.
The crime scene is actually where the crime took place 😳
With so much incontrovertible evidence against her client, there was very little this attorney could have done do; what credible counterargument could she have brought forth?
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a weirdo
CRINGE!
Seems she is trying to control her laughter because she even believes her own words.
must be innocent because he took his phone.
How does that defense lady sleep.....seems her nose growing so long would make it hard to lay down and breathe.
Just gazing at that freak defendant over her shoulder says - THE HILLS HAVE EYES - I. II III PREQUEL
AWESOME
Hahaha now I can’t stop looking . Thanks
she completely bombed. not that it mattered. this trial was more important for her than jimmy. gonna be tough selling yourself as a trial lawyer after this
She didn’t want to help him knowing that he is a criminal, but acted as if; I don’t think a lawyer can’t go that much lower as she was.
Horrible attorney!! OMG
Got to 😄 at her piss poor attempt to double bluff the judge & jury on his behalf.
I love that petrified look on his pathetic face😳.
Throw away the Key 🤣
How did she know there was a jumpsuit at the side of the road??
Not a forceful speaker, she might not be able to convince the judge.
Really lady? You’re really trying to say Gomer Pyle had nothing to do with this.
If I had been as uncomfortable and unsure of myself as this woman is, they’d have had to drag me out from under my bed kicking and screaming to get me to go to work every morning! I almost think she’s on some kind of sumthin’ to calm her down, but maybe this is her, I dk.
She conceded that Rogers was there with Wright so he’s automatically guilty, that the law
She is driving me nuts wit hhe hair flicking!!!!

🤣😂😆
Is she drunk??
Does this female lawyer have Torrettes or has a 'tick'? Coz she Ain't 'normal' in the world of Law!!!

This open argument was joke 🤦🏽♂️ Jimmy aka The Hammer 🔨 can now chase inmates with his pickle out 😂

The privilege to represent Jimmy the hammer?? lol
