And this was back when you could be disbarred in one city and then go set up shop in another.

He'd already been involved in multiple police investigations, FBI investigations for robbery, etc.

Definitely characterized him as a bit of an ambulance chaser.

Definitely doing stuff below board.

And what's crazy about this is the span of time this happens.

I mean, within one month, I mean, she is completely living under his thumb.

And here's this 18-year-old girl.

She's never been away from home.

And all of a sudden, she's responsible for legal fees for a friend.

And it all happens so fast.

And it's easy to say something like,

Well, you know, why did she do that?

Right.

Like she could have just stayed home.

Yeah.

She didn't have to do any of that.

But I think when you're an 18 year old girl who's never been outside of your suburban Ohio home, really, who knows nothing about the legal system, who knows nothing about how trials work or defense attorneys work, et cetera.
