So, via pm, one of the Randees has been giving me a bit of an education about B29 and her lawyer. In particular,
this post by Chico and the CTH coverage started the pms. With permission, here's a pm that I thought provided insight y'all may find interesting:

My final comments in my post shared with you summarize the topic for focus of the objectives of B29's attorney; pacify all who believe or accept the LEGAL verdict. I posted before the Slate article came to my attention, so all that followed throughout the web pointing out the ABC edits did "pacify" some pro-Zimmerman crowd, but none cite the efforts of David Chico (who has played both sides himself, which fits the personal gain we witness constantly in this case!).
B29 evidently sought to please all viewers by identifying her struggle between the LEGAL and MORAL (emotional) judgments she holds in her own mind... or so she says now. ABC's edit focused on the latter, the MORAL judgment. Chico's website showing the questionable article from what I believe was an Ohio source was to focus on the former, the LEGAL judgment (an article he helped to plant?).
Therefore, Chico's objective must have been to balance the head count of those who like what B29 said: B29 + ABC + Chico = everybody has some highlight of the interview to claim supports their theory or judgment of the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin case outcome, be it LEGAL or MORAL. The Slate article actually accomplished that quite well.
From my post shared:
So B29's attorney sets up a twitter account and plants an article on his web page to distance his client from
....Pro-Trayvon comments she made ("got away with murder"), while also pointing out
...Pro-Zimmerman comments (“I felt like this was a publicity stunt"),
...as the main focus of that article notes how B29 was distancing herself from blame that progressives might have for her.
So the 'all over the place' coming out of B29's mouth and information leaking from her attorney does look like CYA for someone the public can now identify... IOW: she needed CYA to make money from her appearance and maybe more. She can play both sides of the fence and cash the check. Maybe she's not so stupid after all.
Note: If B29 wished to work her 15 minutes of fame with a book or interview$, she is the perfect candidate to pull in a large crowd since both sides like the selective parts they found in her ABC interview ...a real crowd pleaser.
