Wow....that was....an incredibly stupid move.
if it really happened.
all he might have done was accept a box of cookies. Why would they have chosen something edible to package the drugs in? My attorney has sweets in every room at his office many brought in by his clients. Hope some agent doesn't arrange to have him set up.
This prick told me I was going to get 6yrs if I didn't give him a "scheldule 2". He didn't Specify what kind of "schedule 2" he wanted.So I gave him a "schedule 2" What a Tweeker. Come to find out I would have only gotten 1 year comcor, He came in to court one day so meth'ed out that he asked me to read the police report because he couldn't see it to read it. I asked him if he used glasses and he said "no". One time he called me dumb, and even said duhhhh to me on the phone. He asked me one time what he should do on this case, I thought "Isn't that what I am paying you for?" What an Idiot.
This toothless prick has always been a wise ass,it is soooo fitting that he got got 8^) I used to go out with his woman cause she needed good lovin' that this dopefiend looser could not provide...What goes around comes around Terry
This really did happen. Terry used to be my lawyer. He wasn't very good in my case, and left me with the distinct impression that, he was working for the prosecutor more so than me. My case was sensitive in that, they seized a rather large small arms collection from me over what amounted to a misunderstanding. They didn't want to return them to me no matter what, and Terry tried and tried to plea bargain my guns away...for brownie points with the prosecutor and boost his standing and career with them. That's real sketchy for a lawyer to not act in the clients best interest. I had to track the prosecuting atty down myself, at his home and cut a deal with him for a deferred sentence so I could recover my gun collection, and Did(!!). No thanks to Terry McGannon.
