But you know the Bigs tell the client how it's gonna be if they want to get a decent chance to get off or not do a long long sentence and the smart ones go along. What does that say about the lawyer when they can't bring their high-school dropout client along to save her life? Says the client had no reason to put any trust in either atty. I guess that's what you get though when you ask others to pay out of their pockets for your defense! You go off your boyfriend cause he broke it off with you and now you expect to get a lawyer you trust to know what to do when all the hard-working taxpayers are footing your bill? Guess ol' Jodi didn't think they knew any better than she did what to do and after all, she's smarter than Einstein.
Wonder if her first appeal will be based on ineffective assistance of counsel? She'll probably blame them just like she does everyone else.
