[QUOTE="Merenguero, post: 1079578, member: 3426"] He mentions the ages of all persons involved at the exact same point in the interview when he asks how it could be consensual, without bringing up any factors such as screaming, bleading, or anything else. He was referring to the age thing, which he didn't at the time understand. Hopefully, he educated himself on the code since then. It only takes a few minutes and a few clicks online. He was also way out of line in pressing regarding payment of the fee, which attorneys are bound by their duty of confidentiality not to disclose. I'm not sure if he even understands that. At least one of the Defendants would be required to have an attorney who is normally a private attorney no matter what. The reason why is the public defender's office would have an obvious conflict of interest had both Defendants sought their representation. One of the Defendants would have to be paneled out to a court appointed attorney, who is not employed by the public defender's office and who is basically private counsel. [/QUOTE]
