This judge has just publicly decreed that this particular lawyer, within the context of California law, is a walking violation of the 6th Amendment. That's the part about defendants in criminal cases being entitled to be represented by counsel.

This guy, or gal as the case may be, needs to skulk back to NY. Maybe think about a new line of work. In nearly 40 years I have never, ever, heard of this happening. No matter how deserved it might be.

Worse even than Cousin Vinny?

What more can you ask of an attorney?

'Course the whole cast was excellent. One of my favorite films.

I liked Bruce McGill as well. I admit his role was minor but he's also rather expressive.

He was good in Lincoln.

How about, "What's a grit?"

That was a huge smackdown, pretty much unheard of in legal circles.

Granted, I'm no attorney but I've never heard of such a thing.

Well, you get what you paid for.
