I know War Machine and while he is educated, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed, so when he hears an offer like that he thinks he can beat it, no joke. Most guys in his position think that they'll be able to talk their way out of it, or that the judge will "hear their side" and have mercy on them. You couple that with his attorney Brandon Sua, who was newly barred in CA from a CA accredited school I believe, and you have a situation where the attorney is not savvy enough to talk some sense into Mr. Machine and it goes to trial. Now the main trial attorney is a guy from Ventura who appears to have come on just before trial. He has no incentive to deal it because he gets free publicity even though the case is a dog. The guy has his own wikipedia page, so I'm guessing he's a bit of a self promoter. I'm also guessing that he's banking on people remembering him representing a famous person and not what the ultimate result will be. And the DA's office, which has excellent attorneys handling the case, thinks War Machine is a piece of shit, so if you have to go to trial so he spends the rest of his life in jail, why not? Its a perfect storm of idiocy on the defense side and a win win on the prosecution side.

Sometimes what you gain by entering a plea isn't that much when it comes to sentencing, so you might as well roll the dice at trial. Worst case scenario you do a few more months than you would have under the offered deal. But maybe you get an acquittal or a hung jury if you try it. Sometimes it seemed like prosecutors being tough on a particularly bad defendant. But sometimes it seemed like the prosecutor didn't really have an option to drop the charges much lower. Not saying that's what happened here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-2162239886406191372017-03-15T13:34:33.819-07:002017-03-15T13:34:33.819-07:00Agree that it is so inappropriateAgree that it is so inappropriateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-35503755789274098842017-03-15T11:45:50.918-07:002017-03-15T11:45:50.918-07:00Interesting that Sanson is using Anat Levy on the ...Interesting that Sanson is using Anat Levy on the Willick case but actually got McLetchie to represent him on the Abrams case, plus Cal Potter being involved.
