How Does That Work Out?

I haven't been really paying too much attention to the whole Britney debacle, but I did make the mistake of clicking on one article about Britney's ex-bodyguard offering testimony in her custody case.

The ex-bodyguard hired Gloria Allred to represent him and here's the bit that I don't understand.

{...}Tony Barretto, 28, arrived with a lawyer but Family Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon held only a brief open session before clearing the courtroom of everyone but attorneys for Spears and Federline to privately discuss unsealing documents in the ongoing case.

Outside court, Barretto's attorney Gloria Allred issued a statement calling him a "key and secret witness."

{my emphasis}

So, if this Baretto character is a "key and secret witness" why is his attorney announcing his presence to the world?

Seriously. I don't know why anyone hires Gloria Allred to represent them when it's patently obvious that the only person she actually cares to represent is herself.
