They received what they deserved, but not in the way of justice. What I mean is this.
An attorney's first duty is to the court.
His second duty is to the public... the State or Federal.
His third duty is to himself.
His fourth duty is to his client as long as it doesn't interfere with the first three.
The client of an attorney is a ward of the court. This means that he is an infant or of unsound mind.
To see that this info is true, look in the law encyclopedia, CORPUS JURIS SECUNDUM, Volume 7, Section 4 and other sections. You don't need me to prove this to you. All you need is to go to any law library (most have a copy of CORPUS JURIS SECUNDUM) and look it up yourself. You can even find it online; it's popular.
So, these guys either hired attorneys, or accepted court appointed attorneys. They did it to themselves. What did they do to themselves? They didn't allow the 4 legs of a proper court case to appear, because attorneys won't bring the 4 legs (necessarily). What are the 4 legs?
1. An accuser bringing the lawsuit;
2. An accused;
3. Injury supposedly done by the accused;
4. At least one witness plus evidence.
If any of these are lacking, it isn't a proper lawsuit, and the court (judge) doesn't have subject matter jurisdiction. If you are at all interested in seeing this about the courts, look here
http://voidjudgments.com/.I wouldn't hire an attorney except as co-counsel, and with the expressed agreement that I wasn't his client. Of course, that means that I would have to be
pro se, or something similar. I would have to do all my own talking in court. The attorney couldn't speak for me, but only could advise me.
