No. The attorney, last night on Carlson, would not talk specifics about payment. He only said he had been retained by the family and specifically mentioned the father hired him. Would not talk about pay.

I bet it's something shady. What does he have to hide?

I hope the money is not from some program paid by taxpayers money.

I can't mention the name, when I did before my comment was deleted, but if it is the local organization of which I am thinking of, they most certainly do get money from MD state and local government.

Is anyone talking about how that should NOT be allowed, regardless of the citizen status?

For the twentieth time what is the alternative? The courts have said that the school has to admit him. His limited schooling prevents him from being placed with with other 18 year olds. Would you prefer him take Pre-cal or American Literature with a second grade education and not even being literate in his own language?

Fine, educate him as the law requires, but please do it in a different facility or at night achool. If you're 18 and you have a major gap in education and don't speak English, a regular high school is not the place to be in.

+1. Any 18 year old that is not able to enroll at the junior level should immediately be placed in an evening classes METS and/or GED track. The only exceptions (such as special needs) would require special board approval. These adult students could get a job during the daytime. This is not just about getting them away from younger students, this would actually be much healthier for them. What emotionally mature 20 year old would really WANT to still be walking the halls of a high school, raising hand to ask for permission to use the bathroom, basically continue being treated like a child?? I am guessing they want to WORK and get on with their lives and make progress toward a better life. Evening classes, free of charge, would allow them to do just that. If they qualify for FARMS they could have a voucher from MCPS to pick up some daily breakfast or lunch items at their evening program. They would lose nothing, only gain.

I still feel sorry for our low income citizen families. We could have use this money on them. We have responsibility on our own children. If we have too much money left, OK, help neighbor counties.

Re who is paying his lawyer, it is a valid question and it IS likely to be a Soros funded group.

The STATE prosecutes crimes, the girl is a witness possibly. There is no role for her to hire a lawyer in those proceedings.

Sometimes an accused rapist sues a victim in a civil action, or vice versa. In a civil action she could use a lawyer.

Case was just mentioned on NPR, briefly.

I agree that I think this case will result in a plea bargain. I think once this attorney sees all the evidence collected, it will be difficult to go to trial with a consent argument.
But, I don’t think the state will go for a plea on a misdemeanor. From what I have read, this was brutal. These two worthless men need to do some time in prison, then be quickly swept out of the country.

She's 14 and this was witnessed and well publicized. There will be no plea bargain unless they accept life in prison.

I agree. But thankfully, this evening program would serve both citizens/legal immigrants as well as illegal. It would be an interim step that MCPS could do to somewhat relieve the burden on our daytime schools while still working within our federal laws.

villains have organizations and politicians are bought. People trust politicians so much. People vote and then let politicians take care of everything for us. How many of us are aware of the policies related to illegal adult students before this crime happened? We all have some thing to learn.

The rape of the 14 year old was NOT witnessed. The presence of 2 witnesses was a factor in Stanford case.

People might find this chart enlightening.

That shyster lawyer!!

Does anyone know this guy or know more about him? He's obviously doing this for the fame since he's already on FOX news, lol

I went to college with him. Had mutual friends. From what I remember about him, it is not surprising that he took this case. Big talker. Opportunist for sure.

What's the opportunity here? Just the fame, IMO.

Will other lawyers respect the fact that he took this case? I'm not a lawyer, so I have no idea how this is perceived.

Most importantly, I'm curious as to who's paying for his fees!

Tucker Carlson asked him this question.
What this attorney said is that the family retained him - the defendant’s father hired him.
He wouldn’t get into other details when pressed.

Tucker asked the questions I wanted to ask this lawyer. I wish this lawyer can practice with conscience.

Rape committed by someone who is sentenced appropriately - usually does not make a blip on the news radar
Rapist given a light sentence (Brock) - definitely makes a blip on the news radar
Rape committed by someone who is already a criminal but not in jail for whatever reason - definitely makes a blip on the news radar
Rape committed by someone who shouldn't even be in this country - definitely makes a blip on the news radar


Why are you so surprised?

Great post - on point.

He's a lawyer. He's doing his job. Accused criminals have a right to counsel. This lawyer is doing exactly what he is supposed to do, and all lawyers understand that.

Now I understand how lynch mobs used to happen.

Accused criminals have a right to an attorney in the US. If they can't pay for it, the state pays for it. Taxpayers have for a very long time paid for criminal defense.

I also agree that someone has to do this job and mount a defense for the accused. However, I'm not sure that that requires appearances on talk shows, interviews, etc. The lawyer is playing this for his own gain, IMO.
