Just curious, have you ever served on a Court Martial panel? Have you ever heard matters in extenuation and mitigation? Have you ever discussed those matters among your fellow panel members before determining a sentence?
I have done all of those things and I think that I understand where Lakin’s defense attorney is going with this. I am inclined to agree with his approach.
I'll take, "No Effing Way" for $100, Alex.
Lawyers are not selected for jury duty in my County. However, I have tried many cases and have witnessed the trials of some of the best attorneys in America.
IMHO, Lakin’s “lawyers” done an incredibly bad job of representing him.
You say “I understand where Lakin’s defense attorney is going with this. I am inclined to agree with his approach.”
Please explain what you mean. What exactly about Lakin’s “lawyers’ approach” do you agree with?
Do you agree with him announcing that his client was guilty 11 days before trial?
Do you agree with him pleading his client guilty without a plea bargain?
Do you agree with him advising his client to waive attorney/client privilege?
Which part of his bizarre approach is it that you agree with?
