Her new lawyer says it's all a misunderstanding.

Sorry, I had to change my pants from laughing so hard.

[Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Jeffery S.] Matis issued the warrant for Lambert Junttila on Friday [March 8, 2024] after she did not appear at a March 7 show cause hearing and did not turn herself in within 24 hours as directed by the court.

In case you forgot…

Lambert Junttila is one of three individuals indicted as part of a probe into alleged tampering with voting tabulators following the 2020 election where President Joe Biden defeated former President Donald Trump. Attorney and former Republican attorney general nominee Matthew DePerno and former state Rep. Daire Rendon (R-Lake City) were also indicted.

[Attorney Dan] Hartman said he has been retained due to a “breakdown in the attorney-client relationship” between Lambert Juntilla and her previous attorney, [Michael J.] Smith. Smith had sought to subpoena Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who are both Democrats, to appear and testify at Lambert Junttila’s trial, with legal counsel for both officials filing a motion to quash the subpoena.

Hartman said he could present evidence that Lambert Junttila was confused about the date and time of last week’s hearing due to the miscommunication with Smith [emphasis mine -- r²]. […] “We can present evidence that her non-appearance was not a willful disregard of the court order and that she was in fact confused and by the time the communication came to her it was too late to remedy and cure that.”

Adding to the election-tampering dumpster fire…

[Judge] Matis denied a motion by Rendon to dismiss one of the charges against her. […] “I do believe the statute gives a person of ordinary intelligence reasonable opportunity to know what is prohibited or required,” he said in reference to defense arguments that the law was vague as to what constitutes “undue possession” of a voting machine [emphasis mine -- r²].
