Bay Area Houston

I got to admit….I didn’t watch all of it.

OMG. Some quick notes on what I did watch/listen to. Paxton’s attorney, Tony Buzbee looks like an overly tanned Ken and he sounds like a civil attorney trying to act like a criminal defense attorney. He isn’t a criminal defense attorney. Even with my law degree from Facebook U I know a thing or two because I’ve seen a thing or two.

For instance they spent 10 minutes on an objection by Buzbee against evidence being presented that the Buzbee team introduced! Seriously. Team Buzbee provided the evidence. Team Harding was presenting this evidence to the jury (The Senate) and Buzbee was objecting to it. To compound this stupidity Lt Governor Patrick, who is presiding over the trial, let this stupidity continue for a full 10 minutes. Patrick isn’t a judge or a lawyer. His only experience is what he learned from Facebook U.

Buzbee on a number of instances objected to testimony on conversations between a witness and Paxton. My attorney friends says it was a case of Lawyering 101, a class Buzbee must have failed.

Only one witness was called. He talked about learning of Paxton’s involvement with Nate Paul (he is the guy Paxton illegally helped in a civil case), something he said was highly irregular for a sitting Attorney General to do. He met with Paxton and claimed Paxton agreed to not interface with Paul again, yet the very next day he did it again.

I’m going to have to watch the cross examination. This witness was pretty good. Clearly he was concerned about the integrity of the Office as well as Paxton’s actions.
