That said, each lawyer is meeting privately with his own client to discuss all the angles. For example, if one of the three was asleep during the time Robert was murdered (we'll call him "Z"), but the other two were downstairs and awake, then the defense of Z would want Z to be distanced from the other two in the juries' minds. Of course, Z's lawyer cannot force Z to tell the truth and make a deal - though we hope he hasn't given up trying. Just for starters, of course.

I mean, wouldn't Joe's counsel be concerned that Dylan was acquitted, etc.? Do you think they will try to place blame on one or two of the others to defend their individual client? I am so grateful we have legal knowledge here. How closely do the different counsels work with each other? I mean, wouldn’t Joe’s counsel be concerned that Dylan was acquitted, etc.?

It's legalities and ethics. Defendants almost always have separate counsel even if they have identical stories and are tried together (see, e.g. Menendez Brothers trial for killing their parents). Because each defendant CAN be adverse to the other(s), an attorney could not represent more than one without committing malpractice. The ins and outs of this are on the prior thread which Craig graciously provided (to spare us all that leg work). It’s not brainy or not-brainy. It’s legalities and ethics.

Maybe Victor/ Joe felt it would increases their chances of at least one of them staying free if they had separate counsel? Maybe Joe's counsel wouldn't represent the others, or vice versa? Or maybe Victor knows how guilty the other two are and and wanted to disassociate a bit. Or maybe I'm just dumb. Its quite intimidating at times trying to keep up with you brainy folks!
