Cobea E. Becker

Cobra had a very simple case. Her task was to tell the jury in opening and closing about the case and why the single 5 minute conversation with one witness was not an F5 felony (e.g., did the conversation occurred for a legitimate purpose and not for any criminal purpose). Ms Becker couldn't conceiv...e how that could be possible and refused to tell the jury any type of plausible, believable, credible explanation for that single conversation four years before. She presented no evidence for the defense, and only called a single prosecution Witness to testify for the defense and that strategy blew up in her face resulting in a conviction and an eight-year prison sentence. In addition to alienating the jury she made it a point to annoy the court at every opportunity. Other than the district attorney, who seemed to be her best friend, she had not a friend in that courtroom because of the degree to which she had alienated is jurors, spectators, client, judge, bailiff, court stenographer, etc.
