Lawyers, who was the most evil client you have had? r/AskReddit | Reddit Jar

lawyers of Reddit at what point when working for a defendant did you realize Smike land is a monsters we had a client try and enforce her post employment restraint against a 19 year old receptionist after she quit and started working for a competitor the reason he wanted to make her life hell because she wouldn't sleep with him a creepy 57 year old man in trying to sleep with her was the reason she quit and surprisingly he didn't take our advice to discontinue his claim and so we ended up sending him elsewhere oh I can share a good story I had a teacher in high school who was a former lawyer we always asked him why gave up his practice to start teaching he finally Caitlyn explained that his last case was a defense of three people apparently there had been a fourth it was two couples who in the act of a drunken drugged out og decided to kill partially eat and dismember one of the women I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time as a lawyer he said it was pretty open-and-shut but he had to get his clients the best result possible and he was exposed to all the horrid details the pictures and their reasoning my teacher had such a far off look when he explained that that we could see had really got to him I've done a lot of prison legal aid and I could tell stories about child molesters that would turn you green but instead I'll turn you green a different way I had a kid 17 who was mildly cognitively disabled due to brain trauma he sustained at the hands of his birth parents who ended up with a really wonderful foster care family and thrived he was a popular kid in school good athlete got a girlfriend and invited her to meet up and be teenagers one night in a corn silo which I guess is a thing that country kids do I don't know this all comes from the pre-sentence investigation report I read before taking his case but this girl met him at the silo and they were hanging out inside by his account they were having a nice time and he was really enjoying himself then for no particular reason he picked up a 2x4 and bashed her skull in he then used a combination of very crude farm implements shovels hoes to chop her body up and bury it in the corn and went home like nothing had happened play you asked eater holy [ __ ] I didn't expect to wake up to 11 K in karma and 100 replies this morning I'll try to reply to those I can and I do appreciate the gesture of giving me reddit currency but folks reddit has enough money and when the firm needs more they can go back to their venture capitalists I would encourage you to make a donation to your local United Way http:www.youtube.com/watch v z-- are mostly years ago when I was taking just any old case I must practice white-collar and federal now one I won a DUI case because the government messed up on something right before trial was to begin my client gives me a hug and completely weeks of alcohol he has driven to court I took his keys and called his mother to client who was accused of molesting a 12 year old he was mid forties at the time and I had to shut him down real quick when he tried to tell me how the 12 year old was coming on to him 3 I represented a woman for a grand theft charge left her in my office to get some things copied before she left after she left I realized my sunglasses and car keys were stolen I tracked her down in the lobby and told her I was not going to represent her anymore and I would call the police if she didn't sort empty her pockets in front of me and give me my things for I had a client who was released after 25 years in prison for murder and then the same day he beats up his prospective new landlord he ended up getting another 10 years he was unrepentant and laughed about how he hit the guy so hard his ID all popped out I thought sit this guy deserves to be in prison sue took the case to trial anyway and Shaka lost and he got 10 the max 5 clients who pretended to be a doctor so he could sell steroids according to the Gulf he had numerous clients who were made to believe that his steroids would cure their cancer they paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars and some of them died I just thought that was pure evil I had a client who was accused of domestic violence essentially he threw his girlfriend out of a second-story window now her sauce got a terrible history but so do a lot of my clients and his attitude as a little entitled also typical but he also knows the deal and wants a plea deal so it's am not really prepared when he absolutely refuses the no jail offer from the state keep in mind there were like five witnesses why because they wanted him to pay for her medical bills okay an hour solbin whatever not the worst what did it was his counteroffer cien sought paying that bitch's bills tell them it's all pay for the window prosecutor was not happy when I had to go to the US Attorney's Office to view the evidence in his case there they were the hundreds of images of child porn he had traded the close-up images of his Bobby saw genitals that he had taken and sent around the internet the pictures of his neighbor's house daughters playing in their kiddie pool realized he just could not help himself but he also never once claimed responsibility or showed remorse so I don't feel too badly for him my mom's sauce a lawyer and when I asked her the worst case she ever dealt with she told me this when I was a new attorney I was working for a company and they gave me a case in a black folder and said that no one was going to take it so it was on me when I looked into the folder it was the most grisly disgusting description of sexual assault of a child that I vomited into my trashcan I had to take it a girl very smart but terrified of everyone and everything she told me how he hurts her every day and would climb in bed with her for a special uncle times every night the girl was five when offered one of the dolls to show where he touched her she simply replied severy where he had raped her every single night for at least a year and molested her multiple times it was also suspected that he brought his friends over and did it but Colton thought be confirmed the girl broke down in court and Colton sought stand as a witness she cold and sought testify she was the only witness the mother testified he Weldon sought do anything same with the father I got to watch this man who I knew with everything in me hurt this child buckle her into the car and drive her away with the parents it was disgusting I will never forgive anyone in that jury for as long as I live and I hope they rot in hell I still don't know why some sort of psycho doctor was brought in or if one was brought in but my mother once thought talk about what happened in the courtroom clearly it was more disturbing than what you read above my mother quit that job and began working for another company soon after in a different sector of law criminal defense paralegal here he so got stories for days but the one that comes to mind is from a client that had been accused of raping his daughters both who were under the age of 10 at a time he had gotten a psychosexual evaluation from a nearby counseling office per our request and the results were sent to our office about a week later most of the testing questions were centered around what the client personally found to be the most sexually appealing and predictably all of his answers revolved around young children and extremely sexual situations this guy spared no details there were also questions in which a certain hypothetical situation would be given and the client had to place it somewhere on the spectrum between snot sexually error sings a very sexually error sings or anywhere in between every single hypothetical that he considered to be very sexually arousing had to do with children or just generally taking advantage of whoever the target was needless to say being alone with this client gave me the creeps Blair not a lawyer but I've been a court reporter for a good 10 years now I also do police interviews one recent one when I listened to the guide described pimping out his young daughter online and laughing about how easy it was how he was doing it as a favor for her that she liked it in the end they brought down a ring including a pastor it was a day where I was super glad to cuddle my puppy when the going got tough luckily my job has a lot of WTF funny moments it makes up for the tragic my friend got roughed up by campus security and detained illegally by them he didn't just sue the campus but had a personal suit against the guard and threatened to make it as messy and public as possible [ __ ] scared the campus offered to fire the guard if he dropped the suit he proceeded to push his lawyer to take the longest most painfully drawn-out proceedings he could to have a 55 year old girl on fire and lose his pension or have the university get dragged through the mud by every civil liberties group in the country the university blinked at this and let the guard take all the [ __ ] as an added bonus he made sure that yard got full notice of all of this on the 19th of December my mom is a lawyer and always refuses to defend the really disturbing clients like the woman who wanted to get custody of her son at all costs but as soon as she had another kid with another guy she called my mom and said never mind I have a snood child's now saw something like that or the woman whose daughter accused the woman sauce boyfriend of rape and said woman walks up to my mom and introduces the daughter by saying 'this is my [ __ ] daughterís I was a juror on a case we had to listen to secret tapes of the defendant arranging the murders of all of the witness the defense attorney had to act as if the defendant was trying to create his own sting to bring down a hitman all of the remaining witnesses that testified had recently been in accidents who had forgotten everything I wondered how that defense lawyer could take himself seriously not exactly a lawyer and the client wasn't exactly a monster but here is the closest experience I have I was volunteering at a course free family law systems program I helped people fill out family law court forms when one of the clients straight up asked us how to hide money from her husband she wanted to divorce that is illegal to do during a divorce proceeding and I told her if she does actually risks losing every dime of her hidden money to her husband she didn't want to hear that and kept trying to ask if there was a way to hide the money regardless I got one of the actual attorneys and the clinic in hopes they could make the woman listen to reason she was in the lawyer's office for a while but I don't think she ever actually listened to our statements telling her not to do it not me my dad after he got clients out of a double murder charged by insanity plea he visited the client in the mental hospital and the client laughed that he had fooled them all and had murdered his intended victims this was the 80s there wasn't any recording and so try as he might my dad could do nothing due to there being no new facts in the case double jeopardy that was in the early 80s he never took on another criminal defense case again ended up having a 30-year career in real estate and estate law then became a judge if it makes you him feel any better that guy suffered if he spent an extended period of time in a state psych hospital if you Hou saw not guilty due to insanity yes or almost guaranteed to live the rest of your life in psychiatric custody unless you can convince whoever is in charge of it that yeah so fine to leave that is not a defense that self accepted often at all or likely or a Dyson sawed anymore and psychiatric custody is absolute health from what I saw heard said yeah he probably left more [ __ ] up than he went in if he ever actually left I was appointed to represent a rapist he was charged with level one felony rape and it wasn't just any kind of rape but home invasion rapist five zero zero a it was a college town in this random [ __ ] was going around this apartment Lexx checking doors and found one that was unlocked he goes in and gets on top of the victim and ties her to the bed then rapes her with his penis and also her dildo from the bedside table he comes on her labia and lower back and then dumps a bunch of water all over her while still tied up then he takes a phone in some other property and unties her and tells her to not move for 30 minutes and leaves I spent about three hours reading the case file and all the depositions of the witnesses afterward I felt like I was going to vomit I felt sick that I'd be spending my time and effort defending him I have been sexually assaulted more than once in my life and the stuff from this case is essentially my worst nightmare his defense it was consensual and they met outside at the bus stop at 3 in the morning and she told him he was a beast and invited him up to her place when I went to visit him in the jail for the first time he said he had done some digging on the victim and found out she had a conviction for drink-driving he asked if we could bring this in to discredit her it was hard for me not to flash angry at this it was at this point I told him to take the deal for 20 years because he'd get 80 years at trial with the evidence the state had Leo my worst is those who target the most vulnerable fear sauce a particular thought process that goes into that it's lost dark and predatory on another level a well-known burglar would sneak into houses at night tie up and subsequently be told people he didn't even need to they were know threatened most never woke up but her sawed wake them up and then tie them up or another guy we got recently who only molested children with disabilities he had access to loads of kids but he only targeted kids with disabilities the worst though was the guy who molested his 12 week old I cried after that shift it was that tough dealing with both him and the baby he was super tough he was a real monster a really horrible [ __ ] you could tell he got off on the whole thing and smiled the whole time he also loved that it clearly had an honest and made us mad some people are barely human heard about this one through a friend ex is a young college student who gets picked up for drunkenly swerving through the road and had destroyed upwards of 10000 dollars of government and private property my friend is graced with the task to defend he says if sauce going to be a quick one gets back the next day and he tells me the police searched the kid sauce vertical sauce trunk and found about 400 pages of documents and six folders of photographs the college student was bait for his parents and aunt and uncle's Tilia women back to their home where they would have a ritual orgy and a ritual burning of the body out in the middle of nowhere they rolled and sought keep any of the parts but they had a very lengthy record of how many people they were burning those 400 pages mind you not every pages each victim they like to document how the sex was and what the bodies look like when they burned apparently the student was off to get the pages and photographs bound into a book that he was going to make himself at a photocopy store for the family sauce ritual not sure of the number anniversary I've spent my career in property law by and large I would say that in civil law you don't meet monsters so much as realized that the real monster is often the whole way the law or even society in general works very early on as a trainee doing a stint in employment law I remember attending a meeting with a senior guy at some company that ran nursing homes that was a client of the firm naturally they employed loads of poorly paid often female staff and the main thing they were interested in was making sure that the workforce didn't get unionized and that the company didn't have to recognize unions they did not want to have to pay their staff more or improve their conditions not illegal of course and the people involved ones personally evil but it was a classic case of come see the violence inherent in the system to do what they were doing required them to be bad guys clients stabbed the guy in the net because voices told him he was a god and that Latinos like him were dots he went crazy on the phone saying how people don't understand him implying that he would stab people who don't agree with him he was getting out on a plea deal after serving less than two years I was helping him with a medical lawsuit [ __ ] like that makes me very angry also have defended murderers but they are usually polite to me defended a guy who I found out later on short his daughter's cheating bf lured him into the shed to help lift some wood then shot the guy in the back pretty [ __ ] up cheating bf ended up burning himself nearly to death after surviving the shooting defended a domestic abuser who took no responsibility only people I refused to defend child molesters can't do it and I don't want to recuse myself from too many cases or i wowed and have a job so that's my line in the sand also I could write a book on obnoxious ungrateful childish clients but that'd take forever years ago I worked at a criminal defense law firm the lawyers I worked for were very selective of the cases they took on they did have murder cases drug trafficking assault and so on mostly I felt sorry for those people and their families there was one woman though that was evil she tried to hire a hitman to kill her son-in-law just looking at her and without knowing what she did she sets off the vibe of a manipulative control freak watch out for overbearing mother-in-law's not a lawyer but there's an infamous case in Australia where I want to know what the defense lawyer thought of it all and x200 be his name was Bilal SCAF and he was ringleader in the gang rape of six known teenage girls ranging from him and six other guys to him and 14 other guys there were times where they left the girls for dead after hosing them down and leaving them soaked to freeze in winter this all happened I think in 2000 or 2001 his original sentence was appealed in less time the evidence was damning and I'd like to know how the lawyer felt defending him and x200 B PS his brother was also a part of it and reached his end of non-parole sentence but when he applied for parole he was denied as he still claims it wasn't really his fault or that it was rape instead claiming the girls were at fault asking for it my worst client was a woman who was rude aggressive argumentative paranoid she thought everyone was out to get her she had a terminal illness and still acted like a total [ __ ] I represented her in three separate civil cases she had gone through two lawyers already who dropped her at one point even the judge had talked to me in his chambers after a hearing to advise me on how to deal with her opposing counsel was present I realized she was a monster when I had to present her for the wrecked testimony and cross exam before a different judge in a separate case and she was probably one of the best witnesses I had ever presented I had been dreading presenting her because her demeanor could subconsciously influence the judge sauce mind surprisingly she answered all the questions briefly and directly she was empathic and she handled the cross-examination like a pro I almost felt sorry for her it was like she was a totally different person on the witness stand the way she was able to act convincingly like a decent human being knowing she was a bad person I role showed me how much of a psycho she was I'm not a lawyer but I have a pretty unnerving story anyways I work as a police officer and got to call up about a mom and dad fighting dispatch I believe that's what they call it in America I don't work there told me that the dad was drunk and was very aggressive when we arrived there we saw a little girl knocked out while her sister hysterically crying was trying to wake her up the dad took the newborn and left the house leaving the kids in the mom behind later we found out that he killed the baby because he thought it was from another guy it wasn't he was just too drunk to understand it was his kid I got to talk to the lawyer of the and she told me he had done some horrid things to them like taping the kids to their chair and forcing them to drink alcohol but the thing that struck me the most was the 911 call the six-year-old kid made from the other room it was the most horrible sound to hear her so scared screaming if the police could please come at the end of the call you hear her dad entering the room hitting and kicking her because she called the police I had goose bumps all over my body and we'll never forget a call sorry for the long story and excuse my English it is not my native language a friend of mine was a serving detective for a British police force he was tasked with investigating another officer of a higher rank to him in relation to him having relations with underage boys he said that there was always something fishy about this officer but he couldn't put his finger on it until they got him into an interview room and he turned into a creepy pedophile right in front of him at this point it was all allegation and behavior so he was released on bail but they put an undercover officer on him straight away pretty lucky really as within 30 minutes he had took himself to a local park and was photographing kids playing that was the evidence they needed to healed him during a search we found his computer under some floorboards in his house with decades of indecent pics on its in thankfully he is now serving a lengthy prison term absolute creep not an attorney but a story from an attorney I had a family member who committed murder a pretty terrible double murder in the presence of a child I had to testify against the family member which meant I had to spend a lot of time with the defense also the attorney knew the family member was guilty but God he was going to mount the best defense possible and he did years later I ran into that attorney and he told me the very first time I sat down with X he looked me right in the eye and told me things I can't tell you but I have been a PD for over 20 years and X scared me worse than the first five minutes of our meeting than any other client ever had before all since I know that X told the lawyer that he should have taken out the little [ __ ] Kim had witnessed and he told him how he should have done it and for the sake of everyone I won't but here in five minutes he knew X was a monster and he still gave him one hell of a defense hated him for it but respected him doing his job the lawyer did however not represent X in any of his appeals have mostly avoided criminal defense but not family law worst was the surgeon with narcissistic personality disorder and a drinking problem divorcing a public official with a serious drinking problem and a few personality disorders who had been bed hopping with state-level politicians just before a statewide election they reached an agreement then he [ __ ] it up neither of them had any self-control they were drunk text each other in the middle of the night and he'd start screaming at me at 7:30 am a lawyer would file emergency motions about whatever it was by noon months after we parted ways he wrote me to demand all of my fees back I wanted to write back and ask him how often he refunded fees when he successfully removed a patient's appendix and they went home and blew their own brains out but didn't a distant second was the near octogenarian who was getting older laters hooked on meth and getting them to help him move it's in his old pickup truck he gave me the creeps a judge friend of mine once told me remember the enemy is the client best piece of advice I've gotten in these 20 years not for a defendant but as a prosecutor at the State Attorney's Office in Miami there was this 15 year old Haitian kid when I was working in the juvenile division that still haunts me I remember his face even now because he had two distinct tattoos on it with very bloodshot eyes he was arrested after he ran into police chasing after a teenage girl with a gatorade bottle turns out the girl worked at a gas station and had called the police a week earlier because the boy was sitting outside staring at her he had came back a week later walked into the store and stole a Gatorade in front of her without a word dumped it outside pushed a patron away and poured gasoline in the bottle then starting walking back towards the attendant she freaks out and starts running out the store he comes in gets a lighter and starts chasing after her he runs right into two patrol officers and gets arrested just looking at him in court freaked me out which was unusual to say the least he seemed completely dead inside showed absolutely zero emotions and didn't say a single word at any stage even after sentencing five years later I was watching the first 48 and saw the Haitian kif sauce mug shot at the end with the same tattoos arrested for home invasion and triple murder without motive in Miami former juvenile court attorney and was listening to this case I was not involved so no RPC issue to minors both Mayo had decided to rob a pizza delivery guy so they called for a delivery pizza to an empty apartment building the delivery guy arrived and was subsequently robbed something like a large pie his phone and a two-litre the minors then decide they want to take the delivery guy's car so they take his keys while one is trying to start the car the other decides to sexually assault the delivery guy turns out the delivery guy's car was a manual stick shift and the minors have no idea how to drive it instead of ending their crime spree they then kidnapped the driver and forced him to drive them to their other friend's house across town once there the same miner from earlier sexually assault the pizza delivery driver again then they beat up the delivery driver and run off driver makes it into a local shop down the road where he calls police adult offenders Don soft really bother me but minors their brains are not fully developed enough to understand the weight of their actions kids can be monsters I'm a retired correction officer from Nick Rikers Island I once had an inmate ask me to look at his case I had once gotten a 100% innocent guy out of jail when I had just started and I was considered one of the smartest yes this guy shot another man to death at an ATM in midtown Manhattan during a robbery attempt it was all caught on videotape FBI had computer-enhanced one frame from the video in which the suspects head was in full profile his right ear was clearly seen and had a very distinctive characteristic it was sort of square at the top and not rounded at all his crooked broken nose was all I needed to say to myself he's guilty what [ __ ] my mind up was this pose was telling me he had every right to shoot the victim he looked at himself as a professional robber if he resisted then he felt justified to [ __ ] you up in this case he shot and killed the ATM customer because he tried to fight back I couldn't believe how this guy was behaving smiling when he told me he was a professional I went and got a book called inside the criminal mind it helped answer some questions I had about my new line of work I have since retired from the NYC do see and I'm sooo happy to put all that negative [ __ ] behind me edit pose got 25 years to life I had a professor in college who was a defense lawyer prior to being a professor he told us the reason why he decided to stop defending people he had a client who was accused of raping a teenage girl from what I remember from his story there was no DNA evidence to point to the client the client was adamant to my professor that he was completely innocent my professor argued in court at the trial and was successful in defending his client and got him acquitted after everything was all said and done he and his client went out to dinner to celebrate the victory my professor said they were talking about some random topic when the man picked up his drink said you know he then took a sip and said I think she liked it double quote my professor recalled that the smirk on the guy's face made him want to vomit not a lawyer but I worked in a federal prison several inmates come to mind but the one I'll tell about is a former Catholic priest he'd given up his vocation years before but he got caught up in a child porn sting at that time sentencing was based on how many images our suspect had he had thousands and was facing a maximum of 40 years the guy was in his 50s so that would have been essentially a genuine life sentence since federal inmates can only earn 15% good time at his sentencing hearing and I read this transcript so I know this as a fact he told the judge when he was a priest he'd molested hundreds of young boys despite treatment and his own remorse he felt completely incapable of stopping his obsession with child porn and with molestation he had not ever been even charged with these crimes but he felt guilty enough to admit them and then ask the judge to impose the full penalty so he'd be locked up for the rest of his life criminal defense attorney I represent a guy charged with kidnapping attempted murder domestic battery etc the guy allegedly grabbed his GF from her house and took her to the nearby river to kill her he denies this entirely recently had a 404 B hearing where basically the state's attempts to get his prior bad acts admitted as evidence at trial where three prior girlfriends all testified that he strangled them beat them etc at least one was hospitalized for a broken jaw guy does not deny any of it I was forced to cross-examine all of them and the only thing I had to go on was their credibility and possible drug use lack of memory not effective at all additionally the local paper quoted me pretty much attacking these victims of domestic violence the guy's face never changed during their testimony realized then I do not care if he goes to prison for life because there is a 0% chance he will not beat more women basically he was watching his neighbor through the window in various stages of undress got worked up minutes later the victim showed up at his shop to purchase some food she was alone he closed the door behind her and yerr well that's it prett got 25 years for that that girl was seven seven [ __ ] years old you have no idea how often in our country the mentality of well if I'm worked up and there is a possibility of release close by regardless of whom or what or what age you're consenting or not that possibility is all might be I'm entitled to take it surfaces welcome to South Africa the adverts on t v-- showing table mountain and the ocean is a load of [ __ ] forty seven violent murders every day one in three of every woman killed is murdered by her own spousal partner like always not exactly the answer to the specific question but i doubt you're gonna have legitimate lawyers perusing read it and telling you about their cases seems like a very fine line of confidentiality to walk to tell internet strangers about things that happen in the courtroom so i'll give my story my ex aunt has been through about ten lawyer teams in what's going on an eight-year last in custody battle and were not exactly in a place where there's that many lawyers her last and final group she literally had to hire from another state because word has gone out in the legal community to not ruin your career associating with this woman she has filed every cps sighs type of injunction accusing our entire family of rape and molestation to draw this out as long as possible on my side the one case that got brought up in court was that i had raped my then what would have been eighty year old cousin while i was studying abroad literally on the exact opposite side of the planet obviously sighs can't just ignore a claim like that but when it finally got to a judge after these accusations and he realized wait this kid wasn't within thousands of miles of a child in about a year from when this supposedly happened he brought her and her then lawyer up with contempt charges i'm just vaguely describing it all it gets way deeper and more [ __ ] up thankfully once a kid is fourteen they gets way more rights as far as court proceedings go so he can finally tell the judge he wants nothing to do with his mom unless it's by his terms I saw this play out in court plaintiff was a prison guard who was pressured forced to have sex oral sex with her boss the warden on a number of occasions the warden threatened to have her fired and blackballed if she refused or blew the whistle after this carried on for a long while she quit and filed a lawsuit but unfortunately her idiot lawyer didn't sought timely file with the correct authorities at the end of the day her claim was barred in the warden enjoyed sovereign immunity at the hearing you could see the judge asking the prison guard questions to see if there was a workaround or some way for her complaints to survive the pending motion to dismiss but there are some thought that was hard to watch it was even worse when the prison guard began to quietly cry fortunately the warden was not at the hearing and the attorney representing the state was professional and just focused on the legal arguments he dipped out of the hearing in a hurry my girlfriend was on the jury for a capital murder charge he brutally raped and murdered a young mother and attempted to do the same to her toddler who somehow miraculously or not depending on how you look at it survived the son grew up and who was about 14 by the time that this case was brought forward to determine if the death penalty would be used obviously the killer had already been in prison was found guilty long ago or if he would avoid the death penalty and spend three life sentences in prison he had originally attacked several women before this incident and sent two to the hospital but was released with a slap on the wrist after serving minimal jail time the murder was preventable but leniency let this violent man back out on the streets what is sad is that every single witness for the defense was a member of his family and every single one of them was caught lying under oath even over the most inconsequential things it's as if the whole family mother father brothers and sisters was physically incapable of saying anything truthful none of them even showed any sympathy for the victims or even acknowledged that rape and murder the colors show no remorse over what was really chilling however was the fact that every woman that he attacked looked strikingly similar to my girlfriend and he stared at her with a blank expression almost the entire time it really freaked her out and she still has nightmares about it not a lawyer but work for a law firm as an investigator one of our clients stabbed an ex-lover multiple times over $100 perp then ran out of the house old bloody neighbor and her teenage daughter see him covered in blood and rush inside to see if they can help while they call 9-1-1 victim is still alive on the nine stroke eleven called the daughter made you can hear the mom singing Amazing Grace while she tried to stop the bleeding you can also hear the victim with a stab wound in her neck gurgling on blood while she tries to sing along the EMTs arrived in under three minutes but it took the police 19 minutes from the call to show up to care the scene for them she lived for 17 minutes I saw the photos of the scene with the body still in place it looked like a scene straight from Dexter late to the party but anyways my first internship in law school was at a matrimonial law firm in a very wealthy area think millionaires and billionaires getting divorced one of the first cases I worked on involved the parents of a victim of a high-profile school shooting the parents were divorced and had been prior to the death of the child and were now battling over who would get the Victims Compensation Fund money and the funds they received from a fundraiser they set up themselves on a GoFundMe type site these were incredibly wealthy people fighting over what was little chump change to them and asking the public to donate to them as if they needed it they were so clearly exploiting the death of their child for money and to piss off the other parent it was honestly one of the most disturbing things I have encountered ever I could have got my client off on a technicality he was already serving 10 years for armed robbery when another case came up of gang rape I went to check the case file and saw that they had made a muck of gathering evidence and blood samples the detective said he was just going to archives and pointedly left the file out I read the woman's account of her 14 known the silence from her home village including my client I dropped the case then and there he died in a gang initiation in prison shortly afterwards but he was apparently one of the kingpins sometimes you have to know when to fold em civil defense here so maybe not as juicy as the Crim defense folks some of the work I do his employment defense particularly sexual age Harris meant discrimination cases is some pretty cynical and see a lot of cases where plaintiffs are full of [ __ ] particularly in harassment discrimination cases in one case I was defending a company and that company sauce manager jointly the manager seemed like a straight-up guy and I pride myself in being a good judge of character I was pretty convinced the case was just payback from a disgruntled employee to my credit the plaintiff a 38 yo female was a really poor employee by all accounts still it didn't prepare me from what I found doing a review of every email the company had stored on their servers not only did the sky stick his hand down this womon sauce shirt without consent when she threatened to go to HR he said her sod get her fired and make sure she never got a job again the lady was a single mother with three kids he also propositioned her for sex in exchange for a day off he thought the email had been wiped because the company had a one-year retention policy apparently some of the companies have sold her emails remained on a sever before the policy was put in place because of the migration of the emails from an older outsource to IT company not sure if my terminology is right here I had to substitute out of the case there off to for conflict reasons since my two clients so interests were no longer aligned I got arrested when I was younger and wound up County Jail for a bit when you first get transferred there from the police station holding you end up seeing a judge who sets your bail the whole thing is done from inside the jail and through a TV screen so you never see the judge of your public defendant in person it was my first time doing this whole thing and I was sticking near by this guy that went by repo who had been in and out of jail before we're waiting for our turn in front of the judge and there is this kid ahead of us they really didn't care much about privacy so you could hear the whole thing if you were next in line this was was barely eighteen years old like just a week over and he had a rap sheet that was extremely long they get to the current charge that he was in there for which was allegedly smacking a brick over the head of an elderly man and robbing him I was very surprised by that but I was even more surprised at how he reacted to this even though he had been in and out of the system for all sorts of crimes and had met a ton of other criminals something like that was over-the-top for him especially since this kid was so young it's pretty sad to think that this kid's life was already that messed up at such a young agent was probably going rogue get worse from there [Music]
