How could his lawyer keep a straight face with this one?

What a stupid idea.

Sure, you are paying them to be that way.
Or would you hire a lawyer other than that ?

Who is saying lawyers should be rotten. I just don't understand how he could keep a straight face with that story or expect anyone else in the court to buy it.

What a shockingly stupid thing to do!
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Really. If you are trying to kill your wife, at least use a hairdrier or something, so it can look like an accident, and make sure it isn't plugged into a GFCI receptacle.

didn't seem like there was something wrong, they got back from a walk and long motorcycle ride... seems like a healthy relationship to me. most couples in a great marriage don't do things like that.

That was a terrible pun.

You do realize that everyone by law, gets a lawyer when in court. Someone is just doing their job to represent someone, even if they are guilty as sin. Thats how US law works. Maybe you should remember that before calling all lawyers rats.
