When the Truth Emerges: 36 Lawyers Shocked as Their Clients Unveil Jaw-Dropping Confessions
Now the police officer shocks the court and me with his bias against the defendant.
Anyway, if I knew about this bias, I would’ve dismissed the case. Now, the police officer is on an official court ruling as a non-credible witness. His career is over. All because he decided he was too important to be prepped as a witness.
If I didn’t document every time I contacted him to schedule prepping, I would’ve had h**l to pay at my office.
I had a client charged with shooting and paralyzing Victim. He was ID’d by a woman in the house that knew him, but the witness was potentially biased.
Client says he wants to fight the case. We then discuss whether it should proceed “time waived” or “time not waived.” The difference is how quickly the case is set for trial. “Time not waived” means the trial is set within 60 days. “Time waived” means the trial can start in more than 60 days.
The importance was that my client told me he was not at the scene. I stressed the importance of being honest and that everything is confidential. He again said he was not at the scene. I told him we could get cell phone records to confirm that his phone was not at the scene of the crime at the time of the shooting. And if we could show that it was active (meaning he was using it) it could help cement his alibi. I also said, “but if you were at the scene, we should set this time not waived so the DA cant get your cell phone records.” Client says to set it time waived and get the records.
So… several months and a lot of work later… the cell phone records literally show him at the f*****g crime scene at the time of the shooting. It also leads to more evidence more directly linking him to the shooting. The records also managed to implicate his friend as being involved. It toon the case from being borderline to a slam dunk for the DA.
It’s even more ridiculous than this but it’s kinda off topic.
Edit: Okay… some more of the ridiculousness…
I share the details of the cell phone data with client. He has no reaction, and offers no explanation for his prior statement that he wasn’t at the scene. I explain that the DA does not yet have this information, so we should try and accept a deal now before the DA finds out because he will most likely revoke the current offer when he does. Client insists on a jury trial.
I explain that it’s Client’s call whether we go to trial or not — I’m here to offer advice, and he’s free to reject that advice. But I think it’s a really bad idea because the DA will get the info before trial. When he does, the offer is going to skyrocket. Client continues to insist on a trial. My final words are — “that’s your call. But commit to your decision. If you reject the current offer, then try and plea later, the offer is going to go through the roof. If you want to plea, do it now.”
You guessed it. The jury is literally walking into the courtroom and I hear this, “pshhhhh. Psssst.” I look over and ask him what’s up. He says, “I know you said not to do this, but I want a deal.” He pled. Because of his shenanigans his offer increased by roughly 300 percent. He would be out of prison if he took his original offer, and I think he has well over a decade to go currently.
There’s actually more but I don’t think I can share it because it’s so unique that it would make it easy to identify the case.
Edit #2: Wow — thanks for the award! My first!
There was a temporary order of protection in place, and we went to court on the lengthier Order of Protection. I talked strategy with my client the night before, but unbeknownst to me she reconciled with her a*****e s*****g baby daddie. I had 3 OP hearings that morning, and did not get a chance to talk to her until ~3 minutes beforehand.
We had the wrong judge. I knew as soon as she told me she was going to be arrested for violating the temporary order. Sure enough, they both got a week of jail and I had to watch their 3 week old child for a few minutes before a bailiff carted her off to god knows where.
They both got fired for missing a week of work. They couldn’t get the kid out of the system. Evicted, homeless, the whole nine yards. All she had to do was tell me they got back together. All she had to do.
I shared this earlier in a thread but I work in medical malpractice defense.
Once I had a obstetrician/gynecologist who severely burned a patient during a procedure. When I met with the doctor, he lied to me throughout the representation over 16 months saying he had no idea how it happened. There is a doctrine in law called “res ipsa” meaning absent some sort of negligence, this accident could not have occurred.
Woman came in without a burn, and after the procedure, the woman left with a burn the size of a dinner plate. There’s no way this doctor didn’t know what had happened. The area of the burn was where he was operating on. It wasn’t until I brought up settlement, because this was not a case we could win did he say, “oh maybe I do know what happened.” We ultimately settled that case, which is considered a favorable outcome considering the potential high monetary verdict. Sometimes I think this doctor really ought to have lost that case and their license.
