Speaking of the aforementioned Dick DeGuerin, he is now defending Tom DeLay. Want to know how good DeGuerin is? One of his recent clients was Robert Durst, heir to a New York real estate fortune, who admitted killing and dismembering an unfortunate vic in Galveston. Durst was a suspect in a California killing at the time and had moved to Galveston posing as a deaf-mute woman.
Durst jumped bail on the Galveston charge and was arrested in Pennsylvania for stealing a chicken sandwich while carrying two guns and $38,000. DeGuerin got him acquitted on the murder charge on the grounds of self-defense, but they nailed him for the guns and tampering with evidence—that would be dismembering the corpse. They let him slide on the chicken sandwich charge. I swear, I’m not making up any of this. That’s how good Dick DeGuerin is.
If I were fool enough to give DeGuerin advice, it would be, “Don’t let DeLay on the stand.” The man just can’t help himself—he’s just too mean, he always pushes it that step too far, like the cheap shot about Earle not coming to work unless there’s a press conference on. (Ronnie Earle comes to work every day—you can ask anyone at the county courthouse.)
