Calvin Murphy P.R. campaign in full gear
As this Chronicle article reports, the public relations campaigns in the Calvin Murphy sexual molestation case are in full swing.
Murphy was interviewed live on Monday on KILT Radio's afternoon drive time sports talk show, in which he claimed that the charges are false and financially motivated. Meanwhile, Assistant Harris County District Attorney Lance Long weighed in with a public statement that the accusers were not attempting to shake Murphy down, and that many of Murphy's 14 children (from three different mothers) did not even know each other very well, confirming that Murphy's extended family will never be compared the Brady Bunch.
Finally, in this Chronicle piece, Murphy's attire while posting bond (a baggy, double-breasted white suit) is compared to the fashion displayed by other recent high-profile criminal defendants during their trials. Best line comes from long-time Houston defense attorney David Berg, who made the following comment on the clothes that Murphy wore while beeing booked:
"He looked like he was selling ice cream or more like an ice cream cone himself."
