As long as you keep all of this in mind, you can see through all the BS Geragos is throwing around trying to confuse a possible Jury pool.

For Jeremy to play the games he did when NASCAR came for the second test (hot on the heels of his "reinstatement" he had to know the testers were coming) and still test positive shows you how stupid his behaviour is...

Oh don't worry,I have my infa-red goggles on, I can see through the smoke quite well, thank you very much :D

Look,I work in "the business". I see my deputies come back from court week after week pi***d off that they lost another open and shut case due to some kind of smoke and mirror trick (read that as Bull Sheet) by a defense attorney. Not too long ago one of them had lost a DWI case because the deputy had his dash camera on "too long" and followed the suspect for something like 6 miles before pulling him over; so therefore he must have "had it out" for the suspect, never mind that the stop was initiated after the suspect drove left of center on a 2 lane road almost striking another car head on, never mind that the suspect speeding 10mph over the limit, and never mind that his BAC was almost TWICE the legal limit (.08 in NC). NONE of that mattered to the jury not one little bit. Remember, that was a criminal case where the standard is "reasonable doubt" and there was NO reasonable doubt in the case above to allow the suspect above to walk, BUT all the defense attorney had to do was plant the seed in one simpleton's mind that "po-po" was out to get his client and its all over but the crying (as we say around here).

Jeremey Methfield's case is a civil case which has a much lower standard of "preponderance of the evidence" and Geragos' smoke and mirrors tricks usually work there even better,still. :beer:

THAT story you have told is just too typical....and wrong. Some things don't need to be explained....they are obvious but it is amazing me how stupid some juries are....

That's because juries are chosen from the general tax-paying public. The mind-numbing stupidity that permeates the populace as a whole is distressing.

It is sad...because lawyers tossing mud around hoping to confuse the jury on a case like this should fail. Nothing I have read has given me one scintilla of doubt in Mayfield's guilt. If there was a valid point, I missed it.....

The whole key statement made in all of this was: " While this was going on, Ramsey Poston passed a note to one of the TV reporters asking “isn’t this supposed to be about a failed drug test?” He would also ask this on camera after the hearing. This hearing was to determine where the actual lawsuit brought by Mayfield should be heard, either in Federal or State Court."

IN short....much ado about where the trial is and none of this is an attempt by Geragos to actually point to Mayfield's innocence.

Exactly. When you have no defense your only hope is to muddy the waters.
