Wecht Defense Sample

February 11, 2008 |

“Under a brisk flurry of questions during cross-examination by defense attorney Mark Rush, Mr. Rabickow said he never complained about the backlog, never discussed it with Dr. Wecht or Mr. Hollis, and saw Dr. Wecht in the office only when the former coroner “popped his head in” looking for Mr. Hollis.”

As a follow up to our recent post on Dr. Wecht’s trial, we thought a few examples would be in order. We can only imagine that the Defense is constructing, well… what you’d call a defense.

So in the flurry described above in today’s Post Gazette, what do we learn if we were in the Jury? Nobody complained. And, do we really know it was Dr. Wecth behind all this anyway? Besides, what’s the big deal?

Never mind using county resources and privately billing them, I guess.  “We will prove to you he is the best bargain Allegheny County has ever had,” defense attorney Jerry McDevitt told jurors Jan. 28 during his opening statement.

In other words, just shut up and accept the unseemly behavior as a worthwhile tradeoff.
