    Because they hired that attorney? They should have to start over and hire a different attorney. They can sue the original attorney if they didn’t know anything about the deception.

      lol, you: he should have to suffer grave criminal punishment because his lawyer showed a lack of ethical behavior

      You really have not thought this through

        Starting over because you had flawed representation is hardly a punishment.

        He should start over because he can hire someone who is actually competent this time. It’s basically a do-over.

          You really understand nothing but act so confidently. Learn to experience empathy and read deeply into subjects before commenting. You know, like Chairman Mao says to do.

                  Why is it my responsibility to remake the legal system? What is you plan to make it more just?

                    Giving him a second chance makes it more just!

                    And he can sue his bad lawyer for bad representation too, since this is legal malpractice.

                    But you seem to want… what? That he doesn’t get a second chance? He’s just fucked?
