    When a smash repair shop explodes, a declining Barrister must infringe his professional code by encouraging his son to restore justice by convincing a Court to set aside his own client?s acquittal.

    Here's my issue with the basic premise.? The professional code of an attorney in criminal procedure is to give his client the best possible defense.? Period, full stop.?

    Here’s my issue with the basic premise.? The professional code of an attorney in criminal procedure is to give his client the best possible defense.? Period, full stop.? Even if he suspects, even if he knows his client is as guilty as sin. At least, that’s the way it’s supposed to work in American courts.? And every defense attorney can tell stories of clients who they successfully defended who they knew were guilty as sin.

    So to ethically and dramatically justify an attorney violating the professional code, the crime he knows or comes to know his client committed cannot be any old run-of-the-mill felony.? ?An extraordinary breaking of the rules requires an extraordinary provocation. It must be an absolutely atrocious, heinous, morally repugnant, damnable deed.? And so far, in all the iterations, we have been given no clue as to what makes the crime so extraordinary as to incite .to justify the extraordinary action of violating the professional code.

    What is this story supposed to be about?? What is the singular theme that unifies all the elements?

    Rather, she must use her experience, her wits.? The situation she’s? is in is? one for which there is no training manual.? ?Having personally facilitated in the transfer of a few thousands prisoners to inter-agency transports for their days in court at local and outside jurisdictions, I am? familiar with how it is done and the kind of personnel who are selected for the job.? A rookie officer would never get assigned to prisoner? transport — too risky.? It’s a job given to seasoned veterans. (And the ones I dealt with in the L.A.? County Sheriff transport system, were mean and muscular SOB’s.)

    Also, when transferring? prisoners between jurisdictions (in state or out of state),? drivers stick to safe and well-traveled roads.? They would never use a road through a remote mountain forest, even as a shortcut.
