I suspect that the lawyer's hyperbole was just that, anything less than a vigorous defense of his client leaves an atty open to legal probs of his own...he's just a public defender, so his duty to his client is pretty much wrapped up with his "get out of jail free" card...while that doesn't preclude the family from hiring some legal eagle to start a wrongful imprisonment case, it would be a weak one, since this whole dungpile was started by this sad sack contacting a number of people (including the Ramseys) to lead everyone to believe that he might know more than he seemed to know...as I suggested in my earlier post, he seems to have wanted his fifteen minutes, & now that he's gotten it, maybe we can all go back to ignoring him again...

...& of course, he still has the child porn rap in CA to deal with, so he still has some defending to do before he can mount an offense...
