Lawyer dog

2017-10-31 20:33:17.993312+01 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA No. 2017-KK-0954 STATE OF LOUISIANA VERSUS WARREN DEMESME ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH CIRCUIT, PARISH OF ORLEANS CRICHTON, J., additionally concurs and assigns reasons (PDF).

A little bit of nuance around the He Said He Wanted a 'Lawyer[,] Dog'; The Court Ruled That Was Too Vague news stories.

It's not the "lawyer, dog" it's that the conditional in:

“if y’all, this is how I feel, if y’all think I did it, I know that I didn’t do it so why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog cause this is not what’s up.”

allowed too much wiggle room for the cops.

Be interesting to see the argument they would use if he said, "I want a lawyer, dog."
