We are now seeing, after the Alex Murdoch trial, that lawyers are not always the people we should be giving the benefit of the doubt to. Throughout the course of his career he convicted several people, resulting in death penalty verdicts. Here at CCCF we have a lady who went bankrupt paying for a lawyer who had an excellent reputation. He was no match for the State though. They actually broke into her lawyer’s office to steal her records. There were also so many instances of the authorities lying that she did not stand a chance at trial.
Another lady here actually had her lawyer try to bully her into a confession of a crime she did not commit. The same lawyer tried to coerce her out of her vehicle when the authorities took it from her without a warrant. Several of this ladies friends would only talk to her lawyer and not to her. This same lawyer told her not to talk to anyone at the jail. As it turned out this was the worst advice ever, as isolation in prison and jail is a very big problem, especially to someone who has not even committed the crime she was accused of.
We need the general public to see that just because lawyers make a lot of money does not mean we should always trust them or that they are always right. We also has a lady here whose criminal psychologist threatened alongside her lawyer as her lawyer was trying to bully her into a confession of a crime she did not commit. These people are supposed to be professionals! We are seeing that the people who work in the justice system are often really part of the problem
