Mr. Brennan boasted publicly upon his retention that he'd taken an oath to investigate this case independently and to follow the evidence wherever it led him. Obviously, that never happened.
One hundred out of one hundred ethical prosecutors would have looked at the dog bites, the 2:27 AM search, the butt dials, the stray tool marks around the purposely mangled taillight, the inverted video, the misconduct of the investigators, and the progressively inconsistent statements of his own witnesses, and come to a very different conclusion about who should be prosecuted, and why.
The defense team is creative enough to work around any restrictions the Court might put on their opening statement. But the fact that Brennan has the temerity to ask for this - and to believe he operates in an environment where he might get away with it - ought to anger every fair-minded prosecutor in the Commonwealth, including those in the Norfolk County DA's office itself.
