[Wylie's Mom]

Given what he had, I thought Nurmi did a very decent job....remember, his hands were pretty tied and he had very few options. He actually did bring up some decent points in terms of poking holes in the state's case and creating some talking points for the jury. He doesn't have a lot of personality or 'oompf', which was needed -- but I think he did a helluva job given his circumstances and given he didn't even want to be on this case. Poor guy, how *awful* it's gotta be to freakin' defend someone you can't stand and, more importantly, probably don't believe one bit. Can you imagine???

I think the verdict will be 2nd degree or a hung jury. But, eh, who knows??? Gawd I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that jury room!
