So the latest news was that Jersey told someone that he stole Baby Lisa for $300. That was a major development. The only problem is that it does not appear to be true.

The tweets about this news express shock and dismay that Deborah Bradley’s legal team would allow this information out before verifying its veracity. Why the surprise? This is the same circus environment that has surrounded this case from almost the very beginning. But don’t blame the attorneys – they are doing exactly what defense attorneys are supposed to do.

An attorney represents the interest of his client above, beyond and to the exclusion of everybody else – and as cold as this sounds, that includes to the exclusion of Baby Lisa. If an attorney is representing Deborah Bradley, then any decision must be what is best for Deborah. So, that raises the question: Is not cooperating and having the police chase down bogus leads in Deborah’s best interests?

Deborah and her attorneys have complained about tough police interviews. Well, that’s what cops do. After all, somebody has to represent the interests of Baby Lisa. Aggressive police work is the only thing that will bring Baby Lisa back, hopefully alive.

I never begrudge anybody exercising their rights. But when you do, as with will all choices in life, you must accept the consequences. Deborah can hide behind her attorneys and her constitutional rights and Baby Lisa won’t be found. Deborah – is that in your best interest?
