Chapter 12 - Richard’s Defense Attorney Tries to Spin a Lie

Inside the federal holding facility, Richard sat across from his high-priced defense attorney, Marcus Sterling.
Marcus adjusted his silk tie, looking at his disgraced client with a mixture of professional disgust and anxiety.
“Richard, the prosecution has video evidence, bank wire receipts, and eyewitness testimony from forty mourners,” Marcus warned.
“You buried your wife alive; there is no legal spin in the world that can get you out of this.”
Richard slammed his shackled fists onto the table, his eyes bloodshot and filled with unhinged panic.
“You are my lawyer! Find a loophole! Claim temporary insanity or procedural errors by the arresting agents!” Richard screamed.
“They kidnapped me! The funeral was a private medical intervention authorized by family tradition!”

Marcus stood up slowly, shaking his head as he packed his leather briefcase without a moment of hesitation.
“I’m filing a motion to withdraw from your case effective immediately. Good luck finding someone to defend a monster.”
