“Willis testified that her use of cash explains why there is no paper trail documenting reciprocal payments she made during her trips with Wade.” This beyond stinks. So corrupt.
Reverse the party affiliations of the judge and DA and tell me the outcome would be the same. Only Republicans split hairs, Dems go for the throat and the GOP acts surprised and offended. Lucy and the football, every, single, time.
Great assessment, Peter, and probably one of the most scholarly and gentlemanly treatments you’ll hear in the media regarding this. I would bet that to the average American, this ruling is annoyingly about crooked lawyers and politics. Many will be fuming that at a minimum she should have been disbarred. No, I don’t think Willis can repair the damage. People everywhere are probably wondering what dirt she has on certain powerful players that she is getting away with such unprofessional conduct. People are probably rolling their eyes at how yet again an ‘oppressed’ black female is untouchable. And the people on Trump’s team will be most certainly looking for a way to trip her up. Given her conduct, I bet they will easily find one!
This ruling may be the worst thing that ever happened to the defendants: Wade may be replaced with a much more competent lawyer.

Purely a political decision
