Your agenda is defending and representing your client to the utmost.
Their agenda is creating a story that will be of interest to viewers.
There's occasional moments where that might align, but mostly it won't.
And you can't also sell out those many clients where it doesn't align for those few one or two where maybe it does.
Yeah, right, because they're going to be a little bit offended, maybe.
But at a minimum, as you said, it's now called their attention.
They're like, well, let me focus on this.
Maybe they get somebody more senior to take over the case.
And that's why, by the way, if you pay attention, 95% of cases you'll see defense attorneys decline to comment.
Or defense attorney said, my client Keith is innocent and he looks forward to his day in court.
It's not common, but it's not unheard of.
The issue, I think, from the judges' perspective, to take their perspective in this instance, is...
I don't really know what's behind this disagreement.
And I'm not, because of lawyer-client confidences, I'm not going to ever be able to figure out actually who's right in this disagreement.
But what judges are aware of is that some people...
are looking to delay their trial, especially in a case where there's overwhelming evidence like this.
And one way to get a delay on the day of trial is to say that you have a dispute that can't be resolved with your lawyer because if the judge gives you a new lawyer, that lawyer is not going to be ready for trial that day.
So that lawyer is going to need at least a few weeks, if not a couple of months,
And now you're not going to trial that day.
And so judges are worried about that.
