Pet store owners want charges dropped, KOLO 8 News Now

Big frickin' waste of time, but their Liars have to at least make a pretense of earning the big sums they command.

Rick Cornell, according to his website, has made a career out of getting people off or into retrials based on technicalities, including getting murderer Darren Mack a hearing for a retrial on the technicality that his lawyers didn't do their job. Guess who that lawyer was? That's right, none other than the judge in this case, Judge Freeman.

Cornell is defending Leilani, the one accused of murdering a puppy. Our guess is Leilani will switch lawyers when it comes down to the trial as maneuvering through a courtroom defense is not Cornell's specialty. As in the Mack retrial, he got the technicality accepted, but he did not litigate the (unsuccessful) retrial itself. He's trying his best to get the case dismissed on a technicality, but, so far, their whiny pleas about how the DA and the State did everything wrong is pretty pathetic even from a novice court room observer's point of view.

Schneider's lawyer, Carter King, has erased his history from the Internet. Not a habit of highly successful people.... What is he hiding, one wonders? Public has no way of tracking his success rate. Which usually means there isn't one.

Not knowing who Mr. King was at the time, several activists have told us they thought he was a street person when they were approached aggressively by him during their filming by a local news station. He was smoking heavily, dressed shabbily, and all three remarked the smell of alcohol was heavy on his breath. He came in close to interfere with the chanting being filmed and nearly burned a female by waving the cigarette close to her face. Well, no one says a lawyer has to be dignified or even sober to do their job.....
