Attorney Terrance Bradley was called to the witness stand to testify for the defense Attorney with Attorney Ashleigh Merchant in the lead. Mr. Bradley had been completely cooperative with the defense until he took the witness stand. The Defense had the records of email and text conversations with Mr. Bradley and all he had to do was verify these facts.
Mr. Bradley did not deny it but tried to parse his way through his testimony, on the stand, under oath, without lying. Just like District Attorney Willis, on the witness stand before him, the witness was not friendly to the defense. Attorney Merchant (et. all for the defense) have his statements but could not get him to confirm the FACTS.
In the end, Attorney Bradley had to walk a tightrope between Attorney-Client Privilege and he got confused about what was privileged. Attorney Merchant put him in a box over this to where he had to choose the side of the defense or District Attorney Willis. In the end, he chose District Attorney Willis’ side.
Attorney Merchant provided him a way out because she knew, he had changed his testimony from the conversations between Attorney Bradley and Attorney Merchant. Merchant asked: “Have you been threatened about your testimony" to which Attorney Bradley gave a non-response, response.
Attorney Bradly got caught in a perjury trap. Either he stayed with his Attorney-Client Privilege testimony or he openly admitted what he had told Attorney Merchant. This poor devil’s career as an attorney will now be on the trash heap of history. Attorney Merchant and the other Attorney for the defense gave him chance after chance to “just provide the facts” and he decided on the prosecution’s position, which ended the testimony for the defense.
There were problems with Attorney Bradley’s testimony which Judge Scott McAfee said he would review in chambers, in private, away from the eyes and ears of the press and public to determine the facts.
Now it was the Prosecution’s turn. Attorney Bradley had chosen their side and District Attorney Cross went right for Attorney Bradley’s jugular vein, so to speak, by asking him about an (unproven) sexual assault of an employee. Attorney Bradley did the best he could to explain with the Judge; 's interference along the way. Finally, the Judge put a stop to it and Attorney Bradly was excused.
Oh, but the District Attorney was not done nailing Attorney Bradley’s coffin shut, so to speak, by calling a witness who was a supposed witness to the alleged assault. The Judge immediately stopped the bleeding for Attorney Bradley and completely shut down this line of questioning. Judge McAfee then declared adjournment and they would go behind closed doors.
My Opinion - - -
Attorney Bradley’s career as an Attorney is over. Who will want an Attorney who is accused of violating Attorney-Client Privilege or having committed perjury?
I think this “is actually” a pretty good example of how the District Attorney’s Office for Fulton County operates. I also believe when you lay with pigs you are going to smell like them. The arrogance of these people believing they are above the law and those they see as their enemy must be discredited and destroyed.
I hope Attorney Bradley’s last judicial act as an Attorney was to go behind closed doors and tell Judge McAfee every fact he knows. I sure don’t see much “Jiduciary responsibility” to We the People”! The Law is supposed to be honored and represented by attorneys. The legal system in this case looks more like how a banana republic operates a court system.
I don't know whether it is a good thing to be retired and be able to spend hours watching how the legal system operates in America. Somewhere truth and facts are lost in the law.
