Hi,
That's why lawyers get paid the big bucks. To present the case of their client as positively as they can. Omissions are not lies. Spin is not always a lie. Putting the best face on the facts is not a lie.
Show me the corresponding document from the prosecution, and maybe by reading both, I might form an opinion. Or maybe not -- as good as my BS detector is, the true professionals can sometimes get past it.
