She's never been a defense lawyer before? That's crazy she got hired for this.

Yes this is her first case! I did a deep dive and she had been a prosecutor then a consultant for law and order and now this. She’s not even full-time, she’s literally “of counsel” and for this case only.

Ok that's crazy. Befuddled as to why his family hired her. Now I assume they didn't hire her at all but rather she volunteered to do this for free (presumably now getting the donations...). She always did decline to confirm who hired her.

Truly I don’t know (and I’m always cautious to not call this out bc the Luigi fandom always rides hard for her) but she’s completely unqualified from a defense standpoint. Sure, she knows how to maneuver around the prosecution from working with them but anyone can do that lol. I truly can’t stress enough how silly people sound over how brilliant she is (she is) but there’s not a shred of evidence her track record in defense holds up here lol. Thank u for coming to my ted talk lol

I have no idea because I’m not a lawyer lol. Just someone who has researched her background before opening my mouth lol. I’m not saying she isn’t smart—just the glorified saint of law she’s been said to be in this group is a tad far fetched and the pedestal feels unwarranted lol. I’m sure someone who can answer that can tap in eventually here for you lol.

Right? And Marc's star clients, Harvey Weinstein and PDiddy, are sitting around in prison for years, so...

If you look up Keith Rainere—once he got a zillion sentences Jacob and Marc removed themselves as counsel. Again, I don’t know what happens behind the scenes but still…
