Lawyers Are Sharing The Dumbest Things Their Clients Have Ever Done In Court


30.

“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.”

“If my client had only listened to my advice and let me do my job, he would have gone home three years earlier than he did.”
