And what's your reasoning for that bullshit? They have no obligation to him. Barnes was formerly his lawyer. And when fired, went on to grift on doing everything he could to undermine his former client's case, who was facing life in prison, because he was mad he got jilted.
If I hired a lawyer who did that to me, I'd sue the fucker, but I'd probably have bigger fish to fry, like my potential life sentence.
You can't argue with results, and a win is a win. I doubt we'd have seen such a win with Barnes and his bullshit.
