He'd argue numbers that he could produce no sources for, he'd argue numbers that were wildly inconsistent, and he'd spout as fact information that appears to have been made up completely.
Couldn't rep you again, yet.
And no, peanut gallery, this isn't "just what lawyers do". In front of news cameras, maybe. In court? Not a chance.
This is the interesting part. Why would anyone ever tie themselves to someone like Trump for any reason? Anyone with half a brain understands that is the kiss of death. Did Trump have some power over Giuliani or his family?
I think it was to stay in the spotlight. Not as much flash running a security firm as being the President's lawyer. At the end of the day I guess he got what he was looking for...
Rudy Giuliani has been suspended from practicing law in New York, an appellate court decided Thursday, citing the findings of a state disciplinary body which concluded the former mayor made “demonstrably false and misleading statements” while leading former President Donald Trump’s legal campaign to overturn the 2020 election.
Every defense lawyer to tries to get a client who they know is guilty off should also lose their license.
That depends on the defense. A defense lawyer who argues "my client didn't do it" while knowing that the client did, in fact, do it - he's assisting in perjury and will be penalized if found out. One of the reasons that your defense lawyer will ask very specific question and you should be very careful about answering.
But there are other defense strategies.
Did the state carry their burden of proof? The defendant may be guilty as sin, but the state has to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. And a lawyer - no matter what he knows - who doesn't mount a defense if the state didn't do their due diligence is unprofessional, as well. May even open up an "incompetent counsel" appeal.
Was the act categorized correctly by the state? (Murder 1 v. murder 2 v. manslaughter)
Were there circumstances justifying the act? Self-defense, insanity or the like?
There was a great case in Australia a little while back where an anti-narcotics unit intercepted a cocaine shipment hidden in a book, took the drugs as evidence and replaced the cocaine with powdered sugar. The defendant shows up to pick up the book and is immediately nabbed. He stands in court, accused of transporting drugs.
The lawyer makes it brief: "My client stands accused of transporting drugs. But he didn't, he transported powdered sugar. We move to dismiss." Which promptly happened. The state had forgotten to file the charge of attempted transporting of drugs, a charge that the defendant was 100% guilty of.
