[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 433619"] Star's idea wouldn't surprise me in the least if they're as dysfunctional as they're sounding. In theory, yes. In reality, not so much. The other thing is Florida has an automatic appeal for death penalty sentences, and the first thing on almost every one of those appeals is incompetent defense attorney. There's a good number of those sentences overturned on appeal and changed to life sentences. So if the attorney looks like he's reaching and stretching and doing stupid stuff, he could well believe the case is lost and has a friend who pick up some money taking the case on appeal (since obviously if you claim incompetent defense you have to change lawyers).
