Sentinel. It doesn't say much of anything but this is about to hit the mainstream media and McCollum knows it. Keep up the pressure. Make sure you're making noise on mainstream blogs. Have Olberman or Maddow addressed the McCollum angle yet? Post on local newspaper blogs.
Also, McCollum has again erased critical messages from his Facebook Page.
UPDATE, MAY 7, 12:40 p.m. … Bill McCollum’s office sent along a lengthier response (which still doesn’t address the fact of whether the attorney general is concerned that one of his key witnesses for denying parental rights may now be credited (sic)). But it follows.
“As hired counsel for the Florida Department of Children and Families, our office is committed to providing our client with the best possible legal representation in this matter.
Dr. Rekers, a professor emeritus from University of South Carolina and a neuropsychologist with a degree from UCLA, came to our attention by recommendation from another academic after an exhaustive search for potential expert witnesses who were willing to testify. Dr. Rekers had exceptional credentials and he had provided testimony in similar cases on two separate occasions, one of which was a Florida case in Federal Court.
The contract was executed at the direction of the Department of Children and Families, and the ACLU did not object to his position as an expert at the hearing. He has completed his testimony and is no longer involved in this case.”
