Breaking: New York's "most hated lawyer" now represents parents of Lisa Irwin

In Day 14 of the investigation into missing 10-month-old baby Lisa Irwin, her parents hire a high profile criminal defense lawyer that the New York Post calls "the most hated lawyer in New York."

Tacopina is best known for representing Joran Vandersloot in the Natalee Holloway case, he has also represented an ex-NYPD officer accused of rape, and an alleged cop killer. One prosecutor says this about the attorney: "He's slick, he's got a big ego, and he'll represent any scumbag."

When asked who was paying him to represent the parents, Tacopina refused to reveal the identity, claiming that would violate attorney client privilege.

Tacopina also took a swipe at Kansas City investigators claiming that the police have focused on the parents, have came to that conclusion and are looking on evidence to support that conclusion.

Tacopina said he is convinced of their innocence and that people pointing fingers in their direction will be "shocked when the truth comes out." Tacopina also put a hault to his new clients giving interviews to the media, after the couple give a series of national TV interviews that have caused the suspicion around them to escalate.

In an interview with Megyn Kelly on Fox News, Deborah Bradley revealed she was drunk the night her daughter went missing, and had several glasses of wine. Bradely also claimed it was possible that she had a black out that night.

Kelly, also caught Bradely in an inconsistency about when she last saw her daughter. She had previously stated that she checked on her daughter at 10:30 PM, but now says she doesn't remember checking on her at that time. Bradely says she last saw baby Lisa when she put her to bed around 6:30 PM.

Bradely also denied killing, hurting, selling, or having any idea of who took her daughter. Bradely also says she refuses to let police interview her other children.

Jeremy Irwin, the father of baby Lisa, claims that the police also accused him of being involved in his daughters disappearance. Bradely also said that the police have "scared the crap out of her."

Megyn Kelly also reported that law enforcement told Fox News that Deborah Bradley failed her polygraph "miserably."
