Asking for an interpreter when you can speak the language isn’t necessarily a scam, tripping up a non-native speaker is really easy if you’re trying to do it. I can speak and understand Japanese well enough for work and daily life, but if I’m being asked questions by a person deliberately trying to get me to say the wrong thing, and I’ll go to jail for it, you can be damn sure I’m asking for an interpreter.

I worked in a law firm and the senior partner was a highly respected criminal law specialist. He told me a story about taking his wife out to a well-regarded local restaurant and there was a table with several well-dressed but slightly boisterous older men. One of them looked round, saw him, stood up and greeted him warmly "Come and meet my pals, they'll like to meet you." My boss recognised him as a former client well known locally as a fence (British slang for a receiver of stolen goods). The man says to his friends, "Hey guys, this is my brief, Mr X. He's the best. Last time I was up I thought I was facing 5 years but he got it down to 2 with time off for good behaviour. I'd recommend him any day." My boss returned to his wife and the waiter brought over a bottle of champagne, "courtesy of the gentleman over there." Sadly we were unable to help him later when his house burned down and the insurance company refused to meet the claim. He had somehow failed to mention that it had a thatched roof which is a high fire risk...

I've spoken a dozen languages in my life and have been paid to sit in on court cases and hearings. The translator thing is crazy. Usually painful to watch, although, I have seen some guys pull it off. What gets me is that, it's often super obvious to everyone when they're doing just for some extra time or, something. That said, most of the people asking for a translator that speak both languages well are just afraid of being coaxed into saying something incriminating. My native language is English but I grew up speaking both Spanish and English. I would still definitely ask for a translator if a Spanish speaking court was trying to put me away. I've always said that there's just no accounting for lingo. :)

With that attitude, it doesn't matter since the prosecutors job is to bear the burden of proof.

Stories I would like to read would be about people who hated/loved someone but realized how wrong they were about that person. Maybe make them two different subjects (loving the person vs hating the person), so one doesn’t dominate the other.

I had a friend 20+ years ago who committed a moderate, non-violent crime but got probation. He violated his probation literally by accident. A girl had a restraining order against him. Before gas pumps had card readers, he stopped at a gas station, bought gas and went in to pay for it and whose behind the counter but the girl. Catch 22. He runs, violates himself for theft and loses his license or he pays for the gas and violates himself. He did the right thing and paid for the gas. His lawyer called me saying that if he had credible character witnesses, he might get his probation back. I told his lawyer that he was a good enough friend that I would trust him to babysit my young kids but that I wouldn't lie for him. The lawyer asked me what I meant. I told him that I had direct eye witness knowledge that he had done the same things in the past but with different people. If the prosecutor asked me direct questions about his past history, I would have to tell the truth as my family, freedom and sobriety depended on it. Then I asked the lawyer how does he defend someone who he knows is guilty without lying to the court? Not morally but practically speaking. He said you sit, keep your mouth shut and let the state present it's case. Then you try to poke enough holes in their case using alternative possibilities and hope you sow enough doubt in the jury's mind to get an innocent verdict. You say you saw him here but are you sure it was him? How good is your eyesight? Were you wearing your glasses that day? Would it surprise you if I told you that he was across town on that day and at that time? In that jurisdiction back then, you were allowed to infer false alternatives as possibilities so long as you didn't present them as hard facts.

I'm a Social Security Disability lawyer. I was assigned a client by my firm who had worked until the month before the hearing. Step one of disability is having stopped working at/before your onset date. I told him he should withdraw the claim, but he refused. I asked the firm if we could fire him as a client, but we can't do that within 30 days, so I was on autopilot. He was denied.

Well…..at least the first one was honest

The old pervert is probably one of the stupidest and not even for his idiotic confession. His lawyers got him out on bail and then he announced to the court in front of the judge, the prosecution, and the jury that he was planning to jump bail and flee the country. Talk about idiocy

So he put whatever he was planning to blow the car up with in the car and detonated it, the problem with this plan? He didn't run away. So he was found unconscious on the ground in front of a completely destroyed car and with half his clothes blown off, and my grandfather had to defend this idiot. According to my father my grandmother said that his defense should be something along the lines of "They shouldn't punish the man because god had already done that by giving him such low intelligence" lol.

You aren't entitled to, nor will you get, a public defender if someone files a restraining/protection order against you. Either you pay for a lawyer or you go without. Public defenders are for criminal charges only. A restraining prder request is not a criminal charge. It is a civil process.

And yet they do. Defending a clearly guilty person is insane to me

A lawyer’s goal when working with an obviously guilty defendant is to make sure the prosecutor does their job of proving their case against the client properly; you don’t have to personally like the client or think they’re innocent to do that. You’re there to make sure procedure is followed so the charges don’t get dismissed on a mistrial/technicality/what have you, and to ensure that the trial is fair so that the client doesn’t get trumped-up charges or a disproportionate punishment.
