Why would they spend money on a frivolous case they have no chance of winning? Lawyers, dragon or no, are expensive, and people in prison don't exactly make money. Conversely, abuse of prisoners is endemic in America. I find this all extremely plausible.
- dfc 1y agoI think contingencies are common in cases like this? The lawyer gets paid iff their client wins.
- vkou 1y agoIn that case, you not only have to convince a judge that your case has merit, you also need to convince the lawyer. They aren't going to work on contingency if they think your case is frivolous.
- dfc 1y agoAgreed...and if they think there is a chance of winning they are going to work on the case. That seems obvious? I think you always need to convince a judge your case has merit, right? Or else they just 12b6 you or whatever the equivalent is...
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> Why would they spend money on a frivolous case they have no chance of winning? We’re assuming the defendant is without means. If I were in jail, I’d probably spend a decent amount of my spare time filing this sort of thing. If it were hopeless, I could also see myself just trolling. What else will I spend my money on?
