I work as a Public Defender in Louisiana, graduated from law

>>739411796
Do you do your "best", even when you know the person you're defending is guilty?

>>739412005
please answer this

>>739412005

OP speaking, and rarely. The first thing your taught in law school your client is always innocent, no matter the crime. There've been times when i can't sleep with myself because i've stopped fucking garbage people from getting the death sentence, but this is what i signed up for, you need to kind of live in a bubble where you ignore the truth if your gonna be any kind of lawyer.

>>739411796
What's wrong with beating your wife?

>>739412602
jesus... thats messed up. but were there any SO bad you just said "fuck it" and just didnt try?

>>739412650

Legally it's wrong because it can lead to assault/domestic abuse charges, but morally who am i to say? One of the biggest defenses for people in law is moral relativism

>>739411796
How backwards is the Napoleonic code compared to normal states?

What's the easiest crime to get away with?

>>739413109

Once, I'm ashamed to say I didn't give up complacently though, that's how you lose a career you spend upwards of 12 years building, i didn't defend him as hard as i could've though. The guy in question killed both of his kids after he lost custody and raped his ex wife. Funny thing is, even though i half-assed the case because of how fucking despicable i though the guy was, we actually won the case

>>739411796
Green text some stories

>>739413363
littering

>>739413246

I haven't studied it too extensively but it seems pretty fucking out there compared to our code of law

>>739413424
jesus. well, you can feel better about that one then. kinda i guess.

>>739411796
what is the weirdest or stupidest case you have ever been a part of?

>>739413363

As dark as it is, it's gotta be sexual assault. Just say she was drunk and 80% of the time your off the hook

>>739411796
can i sue my lawyer 20 years after he never expunged my record?
washington state

>>739413648

I had to defend this one lady who crushed her husband's balls with a wrench in his sleep. We won the case because he admitted to doing cock and ball torture with her in the past

>>739413884
oh... not funny at all.. oh jeez

They say the court favours women. Is this true?

>>739413884
that's going to be on pornhub in three days. god willing right after i finish the therapist hypno stuff.

>getting better rl results from pornhub hypno than from my rl therapist

>>739413659

I don't think so, i don't know the statues in Washington, but my guess would be any charge for that crime wouldn't fall under the statute of limitations in Washington if it was over 20 years ago

>>739411796
>>739412602
i always asked my self why have trials when the guys caught red handed like that scum bag that did the boston bombings

>>739414144

Not here, but in a court somewhere in a really liberal state like California, absolutely it favors women.

Yeah, i do this for a living and even i admit the system is fucked up, I gotta make a living though, and like i said this is what i signed up for

>>739414328
>California
So if I was in California and was up against a woman (for whatever reason) what is a good way to swing back to me?

>>739411796
as a whole, do you feel like the work you've accomplished has made society better? or worse?

>>739414436
I can't blame you.

Whats the most fucked up case you had to deal with OP?

>>739414503

It's a mixed bag. Worse in that i've gotten convicted and guilty murderers and rapists totally off the hook, but good that i've prevented innocent people from getting executed or canned for life

Are u gey? https://youtu.be/_Uu_sEnNKcI

>>739414764
im sure its a bit of both but which one do you feel more?

>>739414688

For me it was the guy who killed both his kids after losing custody of them and also raping and his wife, that just hit close to home for me because i'm married with two kids and i was defending the guy, and he only pleaded guilty to aggravated assault.

Most fucked up all together was this guy who abducted, raped, mutilated, and tortured 2 19 year olds and dumped their bodies in a swamp. Yeah we lost that case

>>739412602
>you ignore the truth if your gonna be any kind of lawyer.

Not directed at you, but this is what infuriates me about lawyers.

Mainly ones outside criminal proceedings.

>>739411796
do you ever worry that people will come after you for succeeding/failing to defend somebody?

>>739414976

Defiantly good, for me the good outweighs the bad. Sure there have been more guilty people i've let off the hook, but saving someone's life after they've almost been fucked over by a terrible system is so much more fulfilling

>>739415053
details of the torture and mutilation pls for research reasons

>>739415059
>this is what infuriates me about lawyers
this is because you're ignorant
read up on adversarialism
learn how shit works

>>739415059

Dude your telling me, it's not a stretch to say that i am a professional liar

>>739415155

Oh it's happened before, after I got a rapist out of jail his victim's family sent me death threats and shit, one time someone actually showed up to my house

>just shot my wife/husband/mother/etc
>witnesses everywhere
>they're now dead
>cops pull up
>gun still in hand
>arrested

What is the best action to take from here until I meet my lawyer?

>>739414178
so a lawyer verbally agreeing to, and a judge allowing for expungement @ age 18..............and a lawyer not following through......is a criminal matter and not a civil one?

>>739415296
you're also a hack
or a glad-hander
either way-
learn the many bases for all aspects of your profession
or quit pretending to be an attny on /b

>>739413424
>Funny thing is, even though i half-assed the case because of how fucking despicable i though the guy was, we actually won the case

What do you mean by "won" the case? Got him off from the death penalty? Or got him off scot-free, because that seems unlikely to me.

>>739415233

It was a long ass time ago, i don't remeber much, all i know know is that the guy who did it recently died of old age in prison, he was already an old geezer when he got thrown in

Are blacks sort of like...mentally/morally inferior and less capable of understanding and following the law? You know in that sort of way where for them everything is "me" and everything is "now"? Do some black people actually not understand the purpose of having rules?

>>739415053
do you ever have clients who are like, "i'm guilty as fuck and want to plead guilty but the police report is wrong and i'm being charged incorrectly"

the difference meaning a month in county vs 3 prison years

>>739415296
doesn't that make it a little difficult for friends or family to trust anything you say? i cant imagine the total lack of faith all my friends or family would have in anything i say or do because my ability to manipulate the truth is so good that i make my living off it.

>>739411796
So why'd you become a lawyer?

>>739411796
Why is nothing happening with that white lady that got shot?

That was situation was obviously fucked up. Some one has to get nailed.

>>739415398

Talk to nobody and hope for the best, that's all i can really say, With wits + its a violent crime i'd probably say you have about a 80% chance of being fully charged, depending on the state your in

>>739415898
lmfao
ok klownselor

>>739415598
not OP but in my experiences it has more to do with what a person grows up seeing adults around them do. living in the projects and being pigeonholed as worthless no matter what you do makes a person go "fuckit" and just take whatever they need whenever they want it. kids grow up watching siblings, parents, neighbors acting like that and use it as their model of maturity. the cycle continues. black people, white people. doesn't matter. give em nothing to live for except the moment and show them the only way they'll get anything resembling respect is through violence and presto.

>>739415695

Yeah absolutely it makes people not trust you. Hell, i'm surprised i'm still married.

idunno man. it sounds like that would be a pretty depressing way to live, even with all the perks and the money. I mean, I just cant think of any material or societal reward that would be worth being so untrustworthy. Seems like a total departure from the human condition just for the pursuit of money. Honestly, suicide doesn't seem like a bad idea.

>>739413655
Not murder?
Everyone in jail seems to think it's murder because everything in the prosecutors court has to be perfect

There's no money working as a Public Defender.

I don't think my local PDs get more than 50-60K a year, which is pretty good for around me, but not with the workload etc.

>>739417400
Not OP, but I'm a lawyer and I can tell you that many lawyers have terrible spelling and grammar.

Yeah, fucking police unions will drag this shit out until people forget about it.

Not OP, but the defense attorney's job is purely that of an advocate for the client. Fairness has nothing to do with it. The system sets the rules to ensure "fairness".

>>739411796
if a lawyer know that a client of his will commit or be accomplice in a murder before the fact, can the lawyer be accused of a crime?

>>739417830
i've spoken to two police officers who disagree with your carry position.

stay out of my state, libtard.

>>739417930
You're absolutely right, but I don't think this one will blow over anytime soon.

It's one thing for a cop to shoot a nigger kid, but this is a nigger cop shooting a white lady.

It might drop out of national media, but it won't just go away.

>>739418173
Generally no. Not reporting a future crime isn't a crime in most states. This does, however, give him an exception to attorney-client privilege, so he can report it if he wants to.

>>739418282
If the cop gets prosecuted, everyone is gonna BLM over how its not fair. In the sense of fairness, the only option is to let it blow over like all the others.

>>739412602

That plus he'e been reprimanded for stuff twice in the past and had turned off his body cam. I figure there is a good chance the city will get sued for having him on the street unless he is somehow a saint.

>>739418177
I probably know more police personally than you have in your entire state, so I'll take my experience and their knowledge ahead of yours.

And I'll gladly stay out of your state if your police are that unprofessional.

So, lets say a Pedophile in a normal physical and mental state of mind is caught with explicit clearly underage pornography in his house hold, in his possession, how would a lawyer get that person off? i have often wondered how it could be done and if a lawyer would even take such a case that to me seems dead to rights.

So you shill for plea bargains, not because you believe that it's in your clients best interests but because if everybody who was entitled under the law to a full jury trial opted for one the system would be critically crippled. So you even push people who might actually be innocent into the for profit jail system just to keep the flaws in the system from destroying it.

What was his primary violation?

How expired was his permit?

Was he a dick to the cop?

>>739420422
He accidentally ran a red light, total mistake.

It's been expired since early June.

No, he fully cooperated and even let the cop search him and the car. They didn't even take him to jail over it, BUT the car was towed.

>>739420279
Depends.

Evidence is a loose concept in defense.
Besides, a hacker could clean up after himself.

>>739420586
Depends on the cop and the magistrate.

I don't think it'll be more than losing his license for a while, or something similar.

Traffic stuff is more a nuisance than anything else until you get to DUI, etc...

Oh, public defender?

You mean you're one of those guys that literally does no homework or research for a case, collect your $400 check for your "service", take whatever the prosecutor throws at you and try to "sell" your client on whatever shitty first plea bargain the prosecutor suggests.....

Don't try to pretend you "defended" any of them. That's not what public defender do. They only provide the illusion that the poor have legal representation when the poor sap is honestly better off doing his own research and representing himself, because you sure as shit won't do anything accept make him accept whatever shit the prosecutor wants to throw at him...

I know how public defenders work. They figure they're making a fraction of what real lawyers do so they shouldn't have to do any work at all for it....
