Cox's new attorney may have been the primary drafter of "dozens of appellate briefs," but only 15% of cases are heard by the Federal Appeals Court. Fifteen percent of twelve is 1.8. And of the 15% that are actually heard, only 1.7% are reversed; 1.7% of 1.8 is .03. So he would have had to have "drafted" at least 48 appellate briefs to have one case actually heard, and his chances of winning that one case, after 48 briefs, were less than 1% (.8%). I'm not impressed. I hope Carter is not impressed either. But... counsel for the 13 having been saying all along they will go to trial and appeal, so let them just get on with it.
By the way, what happened the hotshot attorney the 13 brought in from Pennsylvania a year and a half/two years ago? Or the hot shot negotiator they brought in from California last year?
