This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

If their compensation didn’t depend on continuing the case by manofdillon

I’d agree. Two government lawyers on one side of the case who are both regular, salaried government employees wouldn’t have any financial incentive to continue a prosecution by virtue of their romantic involvement. But here, you have an attorney in private practice hired as special prosecutor being paid by the hour. If he’s using money paid to him by the DA to treat the DA to vacations or other benefits, that could in theory impact the DAs incentive to continue the case and seek conviction as opposed to “pursing justice.” Again, I don’t opine on the facts at all, but if it were the case that Willis is paying her lover by the hour and he’s spending that money on her, I think that would be problematic.
