There is surveillance video of him pumping gas, there were witnesses. That's the stupidest defense ever.
Scum or not, this lawyer is doing what he should do for his client. I read the article on the Blaze and it is clear that the only way the scumbag can avoid the death penalty is to prove that this was going on. And before you flame me, wouldn’t you want your lawyer to do his very best for you if you were charged with a crime? For the record, if it is not true it is a cruel trick by the lawyer. But if there is evidence that points to this he has an obligation as an officer of the court to pursue it.
