Re: discharging an attorney- hey Prairie Dawg

Hey Prairie Dawg, I appreciate you responding, but you haven't
answered several questions....Are these 2 attorneys engaging in
unethical behavior? Should they be replaced? Reported?

person #1: What does "motion in arrest of judgement" mean? Can
she withdraw her plea WITHOUT firing her attorney? [He wasn't
court appointed]. Don't you think he's a dirty dawg for
pressing her to sign the plea,then saying "You know, they
really didn't have anything on you."?! The plea was for charges
that she wasn't guilty of, like distribution and conspiracy,
when she was not involved in that aspect. [She did use the
meth, however.] And she tried to get her husband to stop. What
does the law say a spouse should do in this situation?
Couldn't she plead guilty to drug abuse? Aren't pleas usually
for LESSER charges?

person #2:I should clarify....the DEA & prosecutor did NOT make
any deals in exchange for his info on the murder. It was a
horrid, gruesome, grisly murder and he felt that the family
should know what happened and the punks get punished for it.
He did what he thought was morally 'right' knowing he'd get
nothing in return. The DEA & prosecutor decided not to
pursue 'kingpin' charges on him, but he's still at a 42 for
federal sentencing. Do you think his attorney did the right
thing by leaving him alone with the pack of wolves, I mean the
DEA team? Does it sound like the attorney, who represented one
of the snitches, had a conflict of interest and couldn't stay
in the meeting with the DEA? What kind of 'collateral damage'
are you refering to? Thanks-El
