    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?

                    I don’t want anything. That’s a strange assertion.

                    The fact is that he has lost a ton of money here and the judges will be prejudiced against him. This is all the fault of the lawyer but the case will continue. Whatever damages he can get later he’s still fucked now and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
