Judge Scott Mcafee recently questioned the defense attorney of David Shafer, Craig Gillen, regarding specific statements made in a book that were deemed controversial. The judge raised concerns about the author's willingness to go on record before a case had been decided by the jury. Gillen highlighted a passage in the book where the author recounted receiving racist calls and insinuated that the callers were affiliated with a particular political group.
Gillen argued that the author's portrayal of the callers was misleading and unjustified, suggesting that the author was attempting to manipulate perceptions. He criticized the prosecutor for conducting the interview that led to the controversial statements being made public.
