Allen Stanford, the much-put-upon onetime gazillionaire, has finally reached the end of his assembly line of attorneys representing him against massive criminal-fraud charges.
Stanford had been going through the higher echelons of the Houston criminal defense bar for some time, eventually working his way down to lesser-known attorneys. None stayed long.
That was fine as long as he was paying the bill, but as U.S. District Judge David Hittner told him today, indigent defendants don't get their choice of attorneys.
On the plus side for Stanford, the attorneys Hittner picked for him are not bad.
