You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Unless the court has entered a gag order, the defense attorney can release any information to the media as he or she chooses providing it is not privileged unless the client says otherwise. An attorney works for the the client, and the client does have the right to stop an attorney from releasing information.
