And if the government or ACLU was paying or if the attorney was doing it pro bono (for free), then that has nothing to do with the rape case.Enigma said:He asked who is paying for his attorney because he's an illegal immigrant. Is his defense being paid for by the taxpayers? Special interests? An individual?
It's a very relevant question.
Agreed and I'll say this. I've been practicing for almost fifteen years and never received a dime from any government organization, charity, or anyone else except for my clients in criminal and domestic cases and insurance companies in personal injury cases. I've done a ton of pro bono, some intentionally and some unintentionally. The unintentional pro bono has been increasing lately.
I'm (usually) on the other side in the court room, but I appreciate your posts and insight.

Did you get pro-boned? Bono-raped?
