As I said above, I have yet to see a retainer agreement where control of media and public communications aren’t in the hands of the attorney(s). A client can say or do exactly the wrong thing and hang himself beyond the powers of the attorney(s) to save him (or her).
I also have yet to see a retainer agreement where the client isn’t bound to be in communication with the attorney(s). That’s just how it works. Lawyers will drop a client *like that* if he doesn’t stay in touch, especially when there is urgent action going on involving your case.
Failure to communicate with counsel is a reason allowed by the courts for attorneys to withdraw, it’s considered that serious. Putting up a website or appearing on Hannity, however self-defeating, may not qualify as good cause for attorneys to withdraw.
This is not the time for George to figure out by himself what’s best for him.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON/ Lawyers spoke to Zimmerman
MONDAY/ Zimmerman didn’t return calls, emails or text messages.
AND he talks to Hannity.
(Hannity will not release the content of their conversation)
Calls Corey’s office
(He shouldn’t have if the case was still being investigated BUT if he thought it was settled he figured no problem)
TUESDAY/ Lawyers drop him as a client. Were they told to keep the results under their hats, but if they told George Sunday. Then,
CONCLUSION:
a leak in Corey’s office/clerk’s office.
I’d say that Zimmerman knows he’s not being charged.
Hannity is not disclosing the conversation because he doesn’t want to expose the leak. This would also allow Corey to present her powerpoint to the media and disfuss some of the tension.
Any bets? $10 extra to freepathon if I’m right!
