I missed this report so I’m sharing in case you missed it, too. Higgins tried to blame Johnny and Matthew but was denied by Judge Silvanio.

Can’t edit. Anyway, not trying to farm. Just angry at this guy for trying everything he can to avoid being held accountable.
Yeah, I mean that’s expected. The defense attorneys are doing what they’re paid to do. Kinda why they get the reputation they do. Judge and jury won’t fall that and this dude will get what’s coming to him.
Update: defense attorney doing his job and what was expected
POS lawyers will do anything possible to get their drunk alcoholic clients off.
I was biking to work when I was hit head on by a guy in an SUV. Credit to him, he took legal responsibility, but on the police report he said I “Came out of no where”. I was in colorful gear and had been riding straight on a road with high visibility for 2 miles. It’s unfortunately natural for people to blame share with cyclists for simply existing, glad to hear the judge would have none of it.
I’ve said it before, but once again for the folks up in the rafters. You want the defense attorney to do the best possible job they can because (a) their client is entitled to it, but more importantly (b) being meticulous means that there’s less chance of a successful appeal of a guilty verdict on the grounds of ineffective counsel.
Higgins would be forced to appeal based on the merits of the case instead of how the trial was executed, and his defense attorney is making sure that all of the facts are disclosed and that his own legal performance is exemplary. Credit to the defense attorney for how he’s handling this case and covering all possible angles now, instead of giving Higgins the chance to file an appeal based on poor counsel.
