scrolling through his media tab is hilarious. He tweets the same retarded boomer memes over and over, most of them just comparing anyone he doesn't like to mustache man. He has tweeted each of these well over 20 times.
Lol. All this retard does is waste money. He would 100% waste money on a pointless appeal that he will lose.
The longer he can keep the trial going, the longer he can booze and do coke without tests.
What exactly are you expecting?
Nick's Dad could go hire a squad of murderers from Kirkland & Ellis, and it won't change a thing on a case like this. Sometimes you can buy your way out of trouble, but this isn't likely to be one of those times.
It's more than enough for the possession charge. Nobody is going to buy "It was Kayla's, I didn't know it was here" or "It's my cousin's safe"
As it turns out, knowing "constitutional law" really well is about as useful to most lawyers as knowing the lore of Warhammer 40k. Constitutional issues rarely come up in cases, and when they do it's a massive pain in the ass for everyone. Going to the constitution means overturning existing law, which is a pain.
This is sort of an expected hedge, honestly. He is also trying to rehab his public image, and it's not generally good to go around insulting people like "vagina booze" Fischer. If he can figure out how to maintain the idea of "my lawyer is the asshole and I am a contrite good boy" then it the best way for him to appear. IMO that is one of the main reasons why even highly-skilled lawyers should not represent themselves.
Because there is nothing that local criminal courts love more than insane "Constitutional Scholars" showing up in their courtroom in order to present novel theories of the law and constitution in an open and shut Narcotics Case involving Child Neglect. Complete with their attempt at a media circus. The celebrity attorney may get some more camera time. But their idiot client is always completely fucked. Barnes is like a Right Wing Libertardian version of Gloria Alred or Benjamin Crump. This never works out well for the poor client they are representing. Often pro bono.
Everyone requests discovery
If there's no request for discovery, the state isn't obligated to provide it.
Nah, the minimum is Magna Cum Laude from Harvard and a partnership at Cravath. /sneed
The thing is, c-tier mediocrity is exactly what most people need in a lawyer. As long as they themselves realize that is where they are at for skills. They won't overextend with unlikely attempts nor give outright terrible advice. they will give you simple, solid legal counsel and be able to navigate the byzantine legal process better than you. Neither great nor terrible legal aide honestly does cover most criminal and civil cases requirements.
Most people don't have the financial capacity to hire the singularly most expensive lawyers in the country. Which Crackets has before.
It may be simply that this is who he could get for what he is willing to pay to do this "maybe I'll make it to the Supreme Court!" or at least "maybe I'll intimidate or at least inconvenience and annoy them enough that they'll bow to my demands for them to drop everything or at least let me do a diversion on a misdemeanor charge, at which point I am Vindicated, Exonerated, Innocent, Defeater of overreaching government and Vanquisher of Scandinavian prudes." Take that, Pastor Dave and concerned congregation!
A lawyer only does what a client permits. And with a lawyer/"lawyer" client, he has no veneer of "I just trusted my lawyer on his obnoxious strategy, clean hands here." IMO, but I suppose it could play to the willing or the uninformed.
You have to provide Brady material regardless.
Competence doesn't require brilliance. And this isn't a complicated case. Thus, "bury them in paper" and rattle Constitutional swords in the hope of just exhausting limited prosecutorial resources, and in the meantime try to make some news and maybe hit the attorney's pet project (idk if it is his pet project, but his SM history suggests it might be one political interest).
Another C-tier mediocrity of a lawyer who also displayed no signs of excellence is a man named Tyrone Beard. They absolutely can overextend and they absolutely can give you shit advice and tank your case. They usually won't if you catch them in their specialty, which is what is happening here.
Absolutely, and she's pretty well-suited to handle this case. It's an easy one with a few procedural things, and it gives her the opportunity to have mercy on a guy who fucked up and needs some guidance to recover from being a druggie and return to being a wholesome chruchgoing family man. There's no way she'll do her own appellate work if Nick has his lolyer there. She just needs to run the script and otherwise display mercy and empathy, which she seems perfect for.
Not if she eats them all first.
I am not so optimistic that "bury them in paper" is going to work on a case that can carry a $500,000 fine if found guitly. It works for traffic tickets and petty misdemeanors, but the state can easily recover their expenses if Rekieta decides to go full retard.
Ty beard is the exact reason I added that bit about realizing one's own ability. Beard believed himself to be a grand chessmaster, and in reality was C tier at best. He is the exact kind of lawyer you need to avoid the most.
My guess would be that we'll be seeing her own lawyer file her demand for discovery pretty soon. Nick's lawyer just got around to it quicker. Also I note that White filed his certificate of representation concurrently, which fits what I said earlier about not bothering to file that until needing to file something else.
