The OJ Simpson Lawyer's Verdict On Pistorius

Robert Shapiro Talks Straight: Robert Shapiro is known as "the lawyers' lawyer", a grand master of attack and defence. Giving us unbridled access to his expertise in defence law, he lends judgement and advice to Oscar Pistorius' predicament. Having defended celebrities such as OJ Simpson, Shapiro scrutinizes the issues of the trial, its legal challenges, its emotional effects, and the contestable facts, advocating an equivocal case for Pistorius. For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv "It is much more difficult to defend a celebrity than any other person", proclaims Shapiro. His first instruction to celebrity clients being "to keep your mouth shut". Oscar Pistorius quickly broke this by proclaiming truth, stating at his indictment, "Murder Reeva? Nothing can be further from the truth!" As Shapiro argues, "this was a bold move", playing ones cards before the hand is dealt, when you are facing a 25-year sentence is dangerous. Indeed as Shapiro asserts "if they find one lie from him, this case will work out very badly for Pistorius".
