if you really dont know anyone who says "you guys"


Don't do that. We're not talking about addressing a group of people as "you guys", which *is* fairly common.

I've never met a group more terrified of saying "I was wrong" than some of the people board.

Man, I wish we had some judge dredd shit. Find him guilty and execute him on the spot.


Liberal justice in a nutshell.

It's obvious he did it. People of color are executed on the spot for much less.

Don't bro me if you don't know me

And if you did you'd know not to because I'm a fucking girl

My favorite Dick was Richard Kimble. He chased after the one armed man for 4 seasons before finally confronting him and getting him to confess to the murder of his wife. Ultimately, it was Lt. Gerard who subdued the one armed man, thus preventing Richard from killing anyone.

So when he loses, he can't complain they didn't try.


I wouldn't worry about it. He'll probably still complain anyway. Lots of people do. However, ineffective assistance of counsel is one of the hardest claims to prove. Lawyers have been caught falling asleep at trial and still not considered to be ineffective.


Oh crap. WOW LOL

Their point is that 2 wrongs don't make a right. Our justice system is predicated on the mantra "innocent until proven guilty". You can't pick and choose when you want it to apply.

Equal protection under the law. It doesn't matter who you are. Ignoring that because you don't like the person's ideology makes you look like an idiot.

Yeah proving you had inadequate defense is a damn hard thing to prove, especially when provided by the state, because of the can of worms it could open. The defendant could, and likely will in this case, formally request a change of council and a judge could rule it if they could prove the defender is violating his right, but actually getting that to happen is difficult.

A judge is more likely to permit you to change public defenders if your current lawyer is somehow violating your right to adequate representation. Some evidence of that could be:

Missing appointments or filing deadlines,
Not informing you about your case status or hearing dates,
Forcing you to enter a plea, or
Ignoring important evidence.
To change your public defender, you generally need to write a letter to the judge in your case or contact the public defender's office, depending on the rules in your state. Make sure you keep good notes of what you believe to be the biggest problems with your attorney.

There's a chance a judge will grant your request if you have good reason to change public defenders. But they're unlikely to grant a second request, so make sure you really do need a new lawyer.

I think all the lawyer would have to do would be to encourage him to plead not guilty, then try and find a guilty plea deal where he only goes to prison for murder and 20 counts of attempted murder instead of domestic terrorism.

He deserves an impartial lawyer. Can people not understand that if you deny him that privilege you're only taking those same rights away from yourselves? What if one day in the future you or a loved one needs a lawyer and the only one available has a conflict of interest? Would you not ask for an impartial one? Then why would you deny him the same right?

He's welcome to ask for one and I'm actually not familiar how conflict of interest cases work with PDs, but I think it's a bit unfair to claim due to this relation this person would offer inadequate defense. Due to the ramifications of the case I think a judge would probably agree to the change, especially assuming the PD wouldn't haven't a problem with it.

...you really are quite unhinged over this whole event, aren't you? It can't be an unfair trial if there's nothing happening yet

That seemed like a really nice car he was driving...i'm surprised he doesn't have money to hire a lawyer.

He's 20 years old. He didn't buy that car himself.


A 2010 Challenger is like 15-20k depending on if it's a V6 or V8. A 20 year old could easily get an auto loan for that

Of course he doesn't have money. Why do you think he has "economic anxiety"?

Yeah, 2010 Challengers aren't really that expensive or "nice" of a car tbh. I could buy the idea of him not having the money, especially as it seems he isn't from a very well off family, or at least one where the mother is on disability and there is no father figure.
