Coach at issue is openly gay, so they won’t have to look far for their lefty boogeyman. 

Did he play a lot of Helldivers 2?

Point of order, criminal lawyers rarely bill by the hour except at the highest, biglaw, ultra-wealthy white collar level.

One of the problems with bail is that it's really an afterthought for everyone but the defendant.  It had become kind of a cookie-cutter thing for everyone involved, with the cookie cutter being highly in favor of pretrial detention with sizable bail.

 

I have no idea how common it is, but my wife bills her criminal cases, up to and including murder, by the hour. Some are court appointed, most are not. 

Well, I guess she sometimes charges a flat rate for first time DWI's and trucker speeding tickets and such, if the clients are of, shall we say, more limited means. 

 

Regarding bail: I think she basically agrees with you. She is currently representing a man accused of murder. Based on the specific facts of the case which I'm not going to go into, he presents a zero risk to the community, and a very very small risk of flight. Someone sitting in jail is losing their job and perhaps losing their house, their kids aren't getting to school on time if at all, their elderly parents aren't getting taken care of, etc etc etc.

Repeatedly saying "I love watching your kids" right after it was revealed you covered up your adult kid filming their kids' ding dongs in the school locker room was... quite the choice.

I think that player offing himself is going to be the final straw on this one. I know that's a corrupt community up there, but got damn this whole thing has to be too much even for them. 

But then again... these types of people have surprised me a ton on what they'll condone in the last decade.
