The inevitable questions about Harmon are: If he was involved in the murders of Kevin and Don, why did he offer to help the parents get Malak’s accidental ruling overturned, and why did he neglect his private practice to spend months as special prosecutor (appointed by Judge John Cole) for the county grand jury investigation of the murders?
The first answer is easy. Harmon’s primary motivation was always self-serving. He took advantage of Fahmy Malak’s national media exposure as an incompetent buffoon, which made it politically beneficial for Harmon to oppose Malak. More importantly, he gained the confidence of the parents.
The second answer involves a story in itself, which will be told on this website in the near future. In a nutshell, Harmon and Judge John Cole go way back when Harmon was an unknown attorney in private practice. They became complicit in a ploy to acquire blackmail evidence from a busted “party house” attended by high-level public officials and wealthy businessmen. The evidence from the bust, which included secret video tapes were confiscated, turned over to Harmon (special prosecutor appointed by Cole), and never seen again. Cole allowed Harmon to plea the defendants to a sweetheart deal, so there were no trials, and the tapes were never seen. From then on, Cole and Harmon have been a complicit team.
So, of course, Cole appointed Harmon to lead the county grand jury investigation of the murders of Kevin and Don, so Harmon could control the cover up. During the months the grand jury met, many drug dealers and dirty cops who were at odds with Harmon were prosecuted. Nothing connected to the murders of Kevin and Don was found, but at least 7 compelling witnesses were killed. The leap from there is not a stretch.
As for as Harmon neglecting his private practice, he made more money than his practice would have brought in by conning Linda and Larry out of a life insurance policy they had on Kevin. Linda does not hold back in the next podcast of her hatred for Harmon over this.
Linda and Jean believe that Harmon is 100% the evil Mr. Hyde.
