Paschall’s best shot, as a rational actor, would be to plea and try to cooperate in trying to bring down somebody else with him. This assumes, of course, that he is a rational actor, which is questionable.
He may be inclined to take a go at “jury nullification” one of his favorite pseudo-legal doctrines.
I was wondering why his name rang a bell.
…one of these days he may win a case again.
I remember when my daughter was a “defense attorney” in teen court. Her client had just received a much worse sentence than the “prosecutor” recommended. Why? The teen jury didn’t like him. The judge, a real County Magistrate, friend of mine, and former Public Defender, told my daughter, “Don’t worry about it. You never get to defend nice people. They don’t become defendants.”
I suspect that Mr. Lane understands this and is happy to be making a comfortable living nonetheless.
…I hasten to add that I’m sure some criminal defendants are nice people or, at least, not guilty of the crime charged. But Lane’s particular choices in clients make me wonder sometimes.
Memories become ephemeral as one ages.
I took a class in Real Estate law. The prof mentioned that he had done public defender work in his past. A woman asked if he ever lost a case where the client was innocent and how did he feel about that?
His response was, “I’m sure I did. But the people I defended probably got off on cases where they were guilty as hell, so it was just a wash in the end.”
I guess David Lane is the go to guy for lame excuses when there is no actual defense.
Lane is one of the finest, toughest, and most courageous criminal defense lawyers in town. David Lane is the go-to attorney when you want first-rate representation. If I were accused of a serious crime, Lane would be at the top of my list of lawyers (along with Larry Pozner, Hal Haddon, and Pam Mackey).
You should judge David Lane based on his abilities, not on his clients.
