What about next stuff?

Yes!

Count Dante actually came very close to going to prison for his friend's death.

Because it didn't.

According to the accountability statutes in Illinois, Dante could have been held responsible for Konchevich's death because Dante had initiated the brawl and invited Konchevich to come, which created the circumstances that led to Konchevich's demise.

So Dante lawyered up, but again, in the dumbest way possible.

For some reason, Dante chose a Chicago police officer who'd recently graduated from Knight Law School, but had not yet passed the bar.

This character's name was Bob Cooley.

Yeah.

According to Bob Cooley, he was still on the job as a cop at the precinct house when Count Dante showed up asking for his help.

Supposedly, Cooley arrived back at the station one day after a shift to find Dante waiting for him, wearing a yellow fishnet leotard and a purple cape.

According to Cooley, Dante said, quote, Hello!

As I said, Cooley had not passed the bar just yet.

First client booked.

It was his first client.

He assured Count Dante as long as he passed the bar, he'd be more than happy to represent the count in his upcoming trial.

I want a lawyer who is a warrior.

And you, as a cop, are a warrior.

A police officer, please come to my side.

Now, when Dante's trial convened eight months later, he was incredibly lucky to draw an old Irish judge who saw this entire affair as a massive waste of both his time and the court's time.
