    Legal defense “oh, sorry kid, the cost is $300,001. Guess you gotta do what the government decides…”

    Meanwhile that lawyer is taking a bribe from the government to not represent Luigi.

    For the record, I’m not in favor of this. I just know how these things go. Government thinks it’s above the people. Just ask Martin Luther King. Oh wait, you can’t. And not from old age either, as I realize that by 2025 it would have been plausible to die of old age. No, you couldn’t ask him in 1964.

      Meanwhile that lawyer is taking a bribe from the government to not represent Luigi.

      Considering that that’s something that explicitly results in disbarment, and that an incompetent or deliberately poor legal defense is grounds for a new trial, I highly doubt that this would occur.

      There are ways around these consequences, of course, but there would be very few defense attorneys willing to risk their career to facilitate a win for the government. I suppose blackmail isn’t out of the question, if they want to go down that road, but that’s highly speculative and conspiratorial.

      That’s not how these things go.

      What? The article doesn’t even suggest that his legal defense isn’t going to represent him.

        It’s a bit rambled, but I suspect they’re talking more about out the issues with the legal system and its control by the ruling class rather than any specific mentioned in the article.
