the case

[wrightaway]

Most of you have probably heard by now that I had my attorney badge taken away. The board's given me 30 days to appeal, but only if I can give them "conclusive and irrefutable evidence" of my innocence. I think they only offered because they know I don't have it

Sounds like you "helped" a lot of people to me.

[wrightaway]

Like I said, I've only ever defended the innocent.

[alphashifu]

No one is so lucky as for that to be true.... or so stupid that they would believe it, either.

Unless you mean they were "innocent" after you were done. In that case I'm sure you're right.

Let's just say I'm more selective of my clients than Interpol is of its suspects. From what I've seen, anyway.

You think you can talk down about guilt and innocence to me? You little-

... I endeavour always to improve my technique. No investigation is perfect; I can only strive for the perfect form of Lang Zi.

Good luck with that.

[alphashifu]

I make my luck. We all do.

The luck you've made is foul.

No man can know the hearts of other so easily: if you say every person you've ever defended was innocent, then you're a liar, to me and to yourself. The first step you should take in bettering yourself is to be rid of your delusions.

Reap what you've sown, attorney. You deserve no better.

Take a look at my cases. In every one that I wasn't being blackmailed the real killer confessed with evidence to back it up.

And while you're at it take a look at the instances of corruption I've exposed in the police and prosecutor offices around here. Then you can talk to me about "foul."

... Fine. It is as you say: I cannot pass judgement on that which I have not studied. I apologize. I will withhold further comment unless or until I look through the cases you tried.
