There's no more despicable individual in this crime than your man crush.
AMEN!
There's no more despicable individual in this crime than your man crush.
Eisman was not a a great lawyer, he was the one who staged the whole "hair sample" episode during the Article 32. That sort of machination is the provenance of cheaters and liars (both of which inmate is/was). IF inmate had been innocent then he should have provide hair and print exemplars voluntarily (even if the Government didn't ask for it). Create the whole, they followed us, jumped us, and knocked us around nonsense (that Eisman created) is another episode of "consciousness of guilt".
Some Of MacDonald's Description Of Others
On October 16, 982, MacDonald wrote McGinniss a letter. On the back of one of the pages, MacDonald wrote Bernie Segal is "truly pathological."
When MacDonald was asked what did you mean by that, he stated "I meant that he had -- I had heard that he had made entreaties to a man in Washington to try to prevent my transfer from one prison to another for a period of at least several weeks; and I had just found out that -- I believe had just found out that for those several weeks none of the supposed entreaties to that person in Washington had been made, and I now had to get another attorney to do the same work."

When confronted about saying Brian Murtagh was a basically evil person, dumb, ruthless, I think he'll stop at nothing, but he doesn't hide it well, he replied "I don't recall those exact words, but I may have said that." When asked if he referred to Brian Murtagh as a snail spreading slime, he said "I don't recall that."
<<>>
When asked do you recall saying that "I think Blackburn is essentially identical, except he hides it a little better. I think he is a face man, totally phony from the word go." MacDonald replied "Not those exact words. I expressed a feeling like that, yes."
<<>>
As to Wade Smith one of his defense attorneys, MacDonald referred to him as a "candy ass in his own town."
When asked if he said that about Smith, MacDonald said "I did say that." When asked what he meant by that, MacDonald replied "That he was afraid to buck Judge Dupree, that he let Judge Dupree run all over him."
<<>>
When asked if he remembered referring to Judge Dupree as an "ominous villain", MacDonald replied "Yes, I do recall saying that." Continuing on to describe him as "This ominous figure, appropriately dressed in black, looking like a decaying person, cancer-ridden or something, like a boil that should have burst." When asked if he remembered saying that, MacDonald replied "I don't recall that."
<<>>
MacDonald referred to Dennis Eisman "as a grating schmuck whose immaturity outweighed his intellect."
<<>>
In one of MacDonald's Defense Update Newsletters, it was written "Joe thinks he's invulnerable now because the Supreme Court ruled against me. But he's wrong. I'm going to sue to stop the paperback and the movie; and I want you to understand this. I hope the hard cover does not sell a single copy. And I'm going to sue him. Joe will pay."
<<>>
And another quotation attributed to MacDonald saying "Now there's a bad book out about me, and some sleezeball who globbed on to the story to make a buck is going on every TV show in America."
<<>>
MacDonald said Cleve Backster was "the biggest shyster I've ever met."
That Cleve Backster "is clearly a charlatan."
MacDonald said Backster was "unprofessional because he asked questions about his sexual habits."
That Cleve Backster "is clearly a charlatan."
Personally, I think Eisman was a brilliant lawyer and competent attorney, even though he was an aggressive defense attorney.
I don't know the American law on that hair sample business but I believe MacDonald was within his rights.
There is something highly suspicious about the way Eisman was shot dead when he was involved in some kind of drugs trial in Philadelphia in about 1982.
I'm not saying he was bumped off by Murtagh and Blackburn, but the case was never really solved.
MacDonald is quite reasonably fearfully aggrieved about all the lawyers in the MacDonald case because he was wrongly convicted and imprisoned.
The government had a subpeona to take hair, blood, fingerprint exemplars and inmate refused to do so....THIS WAS NOT WITHIN HIS RIGHTS. When the court says you will submit - that is what one does. Why would he refuse to provide samples if he was innocent? That is the main point, he wasn't innocent and he didn't want to provide samples because he knew it would show him guilty.
I just think the MacDonald case is a bit like this so-called Russian collusion in American and British elections, which is high on opinions, and sadly lacking in facts and evidence.

inmate's case IS NOT LACKING IN FACTS OR EVIDENCE. THAT is the part that you seem to fail to understand. IT IS FACT that if the Court issues a subpeona for your hair, fingerprints, palmprints, blood, etc. THEN YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT TO THE TAKING OF THESE SAMPLES. PERIOD. There is nothing technically complicated about it. It is very simple:
1. Prosecution presents to the Judge the request for whatever samples they believe they require.
2. Judge hears the request, reviews the legal precedents on the matter and either issues a subpeona or does not.
3. Judge issues the subpeona and it is given to the defense (including lab where the samples are to be taken)
4. Subject of the subpeona shows up and a technician takes the samples as required.
that is not complex at all. you can't try to play off every item as a complex issue. the issue is simple. inmate viciously, brutally, and savagely slaughtered his family, he was rightfully convicted, his behavior before and after conviction are the actions of a person who is conscious of his guilt, he was tried before a jury of his peers and was convicted. He is in prison, he is rightfully convicted.....period
Before January 2012, this evidence would most likely have been beyond the reach of the Article 32. With the 2012 congressional amendments to Article 47 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), however, this evidence is now potentially available to an Article 32. Proposed changes to Rules for Court Martial (RCM) 405 and 703 will grant authority to Article 32 officers and the trial counsel to issue subpoenas pre-referral.
I just think that's ignorance of the law. Eisman was a skilled professional advocate, and he understood that the Army CID could not just get a forced admission snipped The law may have changed since then.
HENRIBOY: Eisman's capability as a lawyer? The process of obtaining hair samples? Hypotheticals regarding the Article 32? Yup, none of your dodging tactics pass muster nor do they have any relationship to the clear challenge put before you. Again, the burden is on YOU to provide proof of your central claim.
The proof is that MacDonald is innocent. You take everything on the evidence and not on opinions, unless those opinions come from a real expert.
