"Wasn't one of Nelson's first comments last night that he barely knew this Johnny Jihad. That basically the only contact was a phone conversation from Johnny Jihad asking advise about law school years ago?"

I remember seeing comments to the effect that he wouldn't even represent his own friend. Could be wrong...I guess.(?)

That comment came out later.

Nelson probably ran a credit check on Johnny Jihad and realized it would be a pro bono job. So he opted out.

Here is the article we saw last night:

Friends, Family Defend Portland Lawyer

Excerpt:

Portland attorney Thomas Nelson described himself as Mayfield's friend and mentor. He called Mayfield a regular, run-of-the-mill guy.

Nelson said Mayfield will be represented by a public defender.
