| Carla Martin is still in trouble |
| 2006-07-11 |
| Carla J. Martin's moment of infamy ended nearly as quickly as it began. An obscure government lawyer, she had been a minor player in the most major of cases: the death penalty trial of Sept. 11, 2001, conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. But that all changed in an instant, when she violated a court order by sharing testimony with witnesses and coaching them about what to say. Suddenly, the former flight attendant rocketed across TV screens and newspaper front pages, cast as the villain whose misconduct nearly derailed the prosecution's case. Berated by a federal judge, Martin, 51, walked out of an Alexandria courtroom with her head down -- and back into anonymity. |

| #2 Yet for reasons that remain a mystery, Martin e-mailed trial transcripts to seven witnesses and coached them on their testimony. They can't think of a reason a Lawer would do that? Think harder boys. |

| #1 she violated a court order by sharing testimony with witnesses and coaching them about what to say. Meets the criteria of about every 'expert' witness I've known of used by a defense team. |
