Ya theyre grasping at straws, as the article above states they tried this motion to have the mafia angle barred from being mentioned before and during the trial and it was shot down both times, no reason that it wont be shot down now.
color me naive with this question, but what determines that? is there an actual textbook definition or is it a subjective thing? i mean, regardless of guilt & evidence, there's a bias dangling in the air which impacts the potential for credibility.
