“NYC criminal defense attorney here. All inmate phone calls at the city jail are recorded, which I remind my clients on a regular basis. I had a client who was charged with stalking and harassing an ex-girlfriend. This was the first and last time I had seen a legitimate case of double jeopardy (defendant being charged with the same crime twice). The defendant had already pled guilty and done some jail time for the same incidents. I walked into court on our first appearance supremely confident that my client would be walking out a free man. To my surprise, there was a second indictment charging new crimes. My genius client had called his ex-girlfriend and the District Attorney (DA) had recordings of him threatening to beat her if she came to court to testify against him. We took a plea right there and he served three years for witness tampering and contempt.”
