Lawyers and ethics

After the OJ Simpson trial, California passed a new ethics rule limiting an attorney's ability to comment on an ongoing case to the media. Essentially, a lawyer is not allowed to use the media to try to influence the outcome in his or her case.

I am, therefore, astonished to watch the lawyer representing the Bakley family in a civil wrongful death suit against Robert Blake. He has been trumpeting quite loudly Blake's refusal to answer questions in the deposition and asked the public to draw a conclusion because Blake did not deny the killing. I do not have a link for you yet. The reports on the Net have not included the soundbites I watched on television.
