High Profile Female Prosecutor
Clark Vs Burdyk
Marsha Clark – OJ Simpson Trial * Linda Drane Burdyk- Casey Anthony Trial
Do Jury’s react adversely to female prosecutors in high profile cases with
powerful defense lawyers, “MALE” in opposition? After all it is well known
that having a charismatic attorney is well known to play an effect on jurors.
One could argue that women just don’t cut it in the big time arena of
lawyer vs lawyer. Why is that? Most likely centuries of genetic engineering
on the human psyche. We are predisposed to think a certain way even
without trying and even with conscious effort to avoid prejudice. It could
be argued that the prosecution in the Anthony trial did have an ex-
perienced Male Prosecutor and that it was he that lost the case.
But Burdyk did play a prominent role as did Clark in the Simpson trial.
It is hard for a female in the power game to portray power with charm.
Certainly these 2 female prosecutors failed to give the image needed to
win the jury over.
Legal Pru dents prefer to believe that this should not equate in our
justice system but if one does study power attorneys and their cases
one can make a case to support these claims. This is not bashing
nor intended to degrade the female prosecutor. Rather one might
consider this observation fuel for the fire. What fire you ask?
Some believe that women of a power fixation cannot help but come
across as a bitch when trying to portray with power. Jurors are asked to
keep emotions out of the game and to keep attention on evidence
but they are human and as such conditioned to build belief upon
the human factor. Maybe we would be better off with professional
jurors that would be predisposed to not show prejudice of nature.
This is not a question of justice but rather the opposite. The power
game is always played with charisma and money. The legal system
makes it evident at times. Perhaps the power female attorney is
out there and most likely working for the defense. The State would
be better served by culling mediocrity from trial attorneys and
probably sticking with charismatic and honorable MEN to battle
the case and deliver the burden of PROOF in the courtroom and muzzle
the fact hounds.
If I said I Love You forever, lynn* its forever…
I call you when I need you, my heart’s on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wired
Mmm, you come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like you know what it means
Mmm, it can’t be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby
You’re simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart no, no, baby, I would rather be dead
In your heart I see the star of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place
You’re simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart no, no, baby, I would rather be dead
Each time you leave me I start losing control
You’re walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I’m alone
Oh baby, don’t let go
Ooh you’re the best (woo)
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I’ve ever met
Ooh, I’m stuck on your heart,
I hang on every word you say
Don’t tear us apart no, no, no,
Baby, I would rather be dead
Oooh, you’re the best!

“My name was Richard Nixon only now I am a girl
you wouldn’t know it but I used to be the king of the world
I’m back here learning what it is to be poor
to have no power but the strength to endure
I’ll perform my penance well
maybe the memoir will sell it’s not what I would of chose
now you have to call me Rose”
Lyrics from “Call Me Rose”- Bruce Cockburn’s New Album
