Sipping on a 2012 Barde Haut, I like it, but I wonder if I liked it better in its infancy.
Celebrating my being retained on the Alaska murder case. I'm going to Alaska! Do we have any BWEers up there?

'12 Barde Haut, Alaska case, a ballad, and other ramblings.
Re: '12 Barde Haut, Alaska case, a ballad, and other ramblings.
Like you said to the journal, seems like a complex case. I'll follow the developments.
Since Denver, I have opened one red wine and find it boring after all the nice 82, 83, 89 and 90 Bordeaux we had in Colorado. So drinking more white lately. Maybe same phenomena for your palate, finding the 2012 Barde Haut "less interesting" than all the gems we had in The Mile High City?

Re: '12 Barde Haut, Alaska case, a ballad, and other ramblings.
I'll be trying two manslaughter cases and this Alaska murder case in the coming months.
My practice has really exploded exponentially in the past decade, from local, to statewide, now national.
This case will be possibly the biggest challenge of my career.
More good news: The Blue Demon hit 300,000 miles this past week.
The bad news: The damned odometer on these 2008 Corollas stops at 299,999!

And my lawyer buddies even wrote a song about me, life is good.
I'm very fortunate to have so many friends.

The 2012 Barde Haut needs at least one blanquito. I just don't think it is going to get much more charming.
Drink these young. Rating: 91+ points.

I liked the 12 B-H too. I do think they keep well though, more so than peers.
Drinking an 00 Chauvin right now, another ones which had the legs to run.
----------
Just out of curiosity, what is the baseline probability of acquittal/conviction when a case is built around DNA?
I grant the gathering of said evidence, custodial chain of crime scene DNA, defendant's DNA acquisition process, and so on can be wildly different between cases - but it seems like a tough case to take. I guess for the parents, it doesn't really matter what the odds are, as that's what money is for.

Re: '12 Barde Haut, Alaska case, a ballad, and other ramblings.
Too many variables to guess the odds, but you might be able to narrow it down if someone has the data in searchable form.
Is the crime scene and defendant's DNA reliable and admissible? As you ask in your post.
What was the source of the defendant's DNA at the crime scene (blood, semen, hair, skin, saliva, other) and is there an alternative explanation for its presence there?
How willing are jurors to believe in DNA uber alles? I’m guessing the typical juror puts more faith in DNA than in other forms of evidence. Can they be convinced otherwise?
