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

If you are innocent, you will have proof. Present it! Present the evidence!

Otherwise, you are nothing more than a pathetic, contemptible forger in the eyes of the court...and I subscribe to the court's views.

The courts aren't perfect, Franziska. Sometimes there isn't evidence. Sometimes it takes a little faith.

Thirty days... is certainly a more giving time than they're usually wont to do.

I've caught up on the proceedings.

[wrightaway]

And? Aren't you going to ask if I did it?

[knights_edge]

After all we've been through together, you think I would need to ask something like that?

[knights_edge]

Of course you submitted the evidence.

However, having it forged yourself is... altogether beyond you. No, knowing your modus operandi you were actually honest when you claimed to have received it only minutes before the trial. From an absolute stranger.

WHAT????

Nick I was in a cave meditating all week. D: They want me to go back in for the rest of the lunar month!! WHAT HAPPENED

Maya...I'll explain better in person, but the short truth is that I got a hold of bad evidence, and I'm being blamed for it. I'm not sure yet if I can fight it.

But I don't want you and Pearl to worry. I'm okay. I'll come see you both when I have the chance.

You'll be relieved to know that double jeopardy exempts your clients from being retried. Unfortunately, this cannot exempt them from the suspicion of the people around them. However, I can't imagine any of your clients actually were guilty, and so suspicion will not likely be turned on them.

And as long as you didn't defend the people who were eventually proven guilty for the same crime, I doubt they will derive any benefits from this situation. Perhaps if each of their lawyers were implicated in the same situation.

[wrightaway]

Yeah...I'm more worried about my clients than me. None of them did anything wrong, and I don't want them forced into the public eye because of me. Hopefully it'll all blow over for them soon.

[carpe_legem]

I'm sure it'll be forgotten about sooner than you think.

"Helping people"? Is that the new-fangled term for wandering around in funny-lookin' outfits and constantly badgering innocent bystanders who were just mindin' their own business?

[wrightaway]

Umm....yeah, I guess you could say that.
