FHM Model Tweets about bribe

so she wants to be an attorney one day? lmao. Bribery sure is a great way to kick start that career. She's hot though. Can't argue with that. (but has mashed potatoes for brains)
 
Lawyers need to be able to lie, bend the truth, distort reality, ignore what's right... she's got it all going for her. That and jurors will vote her way purely because she's so much nicer to look at than the old fart she's arguing against.

I know your post is tongue in cheek but lying and lying well are two different things. No one in their right mind believes that she just did it for the attention. It takes a special kind of stupidity to do what she did.

BTW there are no jurors in SA.

I'm pretty sure I meant to type judges ... sorry! Also pretty sure that no-one in their right mind believes that a lawyer is being honest except when he's dead.

Jurors? O.o Watching far to many Amercian legal dramas...

Funny how the profession that people run for help, when **** hits the fan, has such a bad reputation. Although I don't do any form of litigation, I am proud to be an admitted attorney.

For each time I've had to "run for help" to an attorney, I've had unscrupulous ones try to screw me at least 10 times.
MDB... VVM... I'm talking to YOU.
If attorneys are unhappy about the way they are perceived then they should do something about the ones who drag their reputation through the mud. I've tried to complain to the northern law association about these clowns but the process is onerous - one that only a lawyer perhaps can understand? and that creates more of an impression of a gang of sharks looking after their own self-interest. Sorry sharks, did not mean to offend.
How about those lawyers hanging around police stations ripping off people arrested for drunk driving? Charging R10k to R30k to arrange R1000 bail?
How does an attorney sleep at night when looking for every single possible loophole or technicality to get an obviously guilty party acquitted?
It's not about right or wrong, it's about who played the game best, or who had most money at the end of the day.

Recently read this article:

http://www.iol.co.za/motoring/industry-news/cops-harassing-you-know-your-rights-1.1275418

Which has some interesting information:

Justice Project SA instituted its “priority assist” service at the end of last year to deal with situations like this on your behalf. Once you subscribe, you are provided with the telephone number for the JPSA call centre and will be able to call at any time.

Their staff will either deal with the situation there and then on the call, or will dispatch a response unit to the site to deal with the situation. It can also organise a family friend or relative to pay bail.

Hahahahahhaha. I know her...she dated my good mate a few years ago.

She's not stupid actually, just truly misguided. About being a lawyer...hmmm. I think not. Last time I saw her at H20 her current man was some juiced up douche covered in steroid zits and she looked worse for wear. Frail...

Her excuse however is retarded...she wanted attention? Haha. She bribed the dude and boasted. Now shes in kak. That's it...

Hey small world! I know her too, was in her class at school.

They are dealt with. The Law Society sends out lists of people who have been disbarred, and there are quite a few names on the list.

The process is onerous because the consequences are very serious and need to be investigated thoroughly. The most serious consequence, among the criminal ones, is to be disbarred which means the 6 years of studying and training it took to be admitted, was wasted as you can no longer practice law again.

Are you offended at the rate they charge or the touting, or both? Or are you drawing parallels between the quantum of the bail and the fee? Aside from the touting (which is wrong), no one is forcing you to accept the fee. Whether the fee amounts to overreaching or overcharging, I cannot comment as I don't do this line of work.

What is evident from your posts is that you think it's acceptable to generalise. Apart from this post, I won't entertain you.

I sleep just fine thank you. I think your post is infused with emotion.

If you were that person charged, would you not want your attorney to explore every angle? There are very specific ethics rules applicable when a client tells you that they are guilty. But by doing so, this means that they aren't deprived of legal representation, or the fact that the prosecution must still prove (beyond a reasonable doubt) that your client is guilty.
 
Attention? I've gone through the 4 pages of this thread and can't remember her name. She will be referred to as "That-FHM-Model-twitter-whats-her-face", which will most likely be follow by, "No. Not the racist broad, the other one, the bribery broad. Yeah, her..."

Yes I generalise and will continue to do so. You know what? As an outsider I get freaking mad when a conviction of an obviously guilty person is overturned on a technicality. Yes, my post is infused with emotion. I am angry that I am powerless against the likes of MDB or VVM. I am fuming that nothing has been done about them in the past as I am NOT the only victim. I am a human being.

The law profession seems to have forgotten that it is about justice at the end of the day. Not money. But no, the guy that pays your fee owns your sense of ethics (from what I can see). If you don't have loads of money you have no chance at any form of litigation (or even legal defense) at all. Yes, I understand that a living has to be made... but I dunno. Something so essential should not be out of reach of the common man.

You wanted to know why people hate lawyers? (which was a fantastic generalisation on your part, by the way!) I'm telling you the perceptions that cause it. If you don't want to know why people feel the way they do, then don't raise the point in the first place.
