    The last thing Jones' lawyer asked him while he was on the stand was if he was satisfied with his representation, to which Jones responded yes.

      Amazing. Now he can go "you can't sue me for bad representation because you testified in court that you were fine with your representation." Lib take I know but still funny as hell

        That's what I gathered from it as well lmao, also so he couldn't request different representation or anything like that to try to delay the trial

        Honestly I think the lawyers made a deal so Jones' wouldn't get disbarred for very obviously hiding evidence and they just ratfucked him.

        Couldn't have ratfucked a better guy though so I'm here for it.

        And then Jones said, yes please I'm very happy with this lmfao

          I don't think it matters any more. I think there was some recent supreme court case that set a precedent that you can't get a retrial or sue the lawyers if they fuck up.

            You can't introduce different evidence at a federal trial for an escalated state case even if the evidence was present but not introduced due to inadequate/incompetent representation as I understood it.

            Very clearly stupid & wrong, but at least somewhat limited in scope
