More Funny Things Indigent Criminal Defendants Say to Their Lawyers

Here's a recent one: Ex-con Danny Defendant is charged with continuous sexual assault of his young daughter, and 20 counts of possession of child porn. He's already done time for drug offenses so getting on the witness stand may not be a good idea. Never mind, he tells his lawyer to tell the DA and judge he wants probation because he is a good Christian man. In fact, in their first interview he brought his Bible to the attorney visitation room and asked "Mr. Lawyer, are you a Christian?"

 Now he wants new counsel because current lawyer won't "fight to get him an awesome deal."
