NEW YORK – I’m not sure how closely you’ve followed this Wesley Snipes trial, but it got real good in that courtroom there toward the end. 
Jami Floyd almost always has the Last Word.
 The defense rested its case without calling a single witness to the stand. Not Mr. Snipes, not anyone. It’s a bold strategy, but always a gamble. And it’s a huge one for Snipes, because the case against him isn’t that weak. And in the end, Snipes and his lawyers allowed the government’s case to stand unchallenged. That says a lot to this defense attorney about Snipes’ defense. Now it’s a “reasonable doubt” case, entirely, and Snipes’ only hope for acquittal is that the jury will decide the government failed to meet its burden. Read: The jury’s out Since he decided not to take the stand in a case that is all about what he knew and when he knew it, that’s a long shot indeed. And that is the Last Word. – Jami Floyd, In Session anchor Filed under: Jami Floyd • Last Word • Trials |
