Henry Ruggs Lawyers Ask Judge To Throw Out His Blood-Alcohol Level Evidence After Crash

I'm a law-and-order guy, but defense attorneys (many of whom seem sleezy) do perform an important overall function for the system -- they make the gov't prove its case. If they didn't exist, anyone could get railroaded. But please note, I think far too many defense attorney lie and throw garbage against the wall, hoping anything will stick. But they are necessary for the system to work.

So do you want a garbage man to defend you if you get hit with some BS charge from a dirty cop?

In the state of Louisiana it is standard procedure and mandatory by the at fault driver to take a blood sample in the event of a fatal crash. If they refuse they are detained and a warrant is issued for said sample. Usually the warrant is granted within 30 minutes or so with new courtroom software.

I am not sure what the laws are in Nevada but you can get disbarred for incompetency in your profession and I suppose not trying to get it thrown out could be considered incompetence (maybe). You can choose not to take a scumbag clients but it is almost impossible to build a practice if you don't take difficult cases (people who you think are guilty as sin). If you do want to actually get innocent people off that are in terrible situations, you probably have to take some scumbag clients to build a practice where you have the opportunity to defend innocent people in those situations. I don't envy defense attorneys but having them do stuff like this may be a necessary evil to protect people from a justice system that screws stuff up all the time.

I’ve always thought the same thing. But lawyers like this only care about money, they have no morals. In college my professor brought in Jose Baez, the lawyer who defended Casey Anthony, to speak to us. The mindset of that guy was pretty sick. This was all 2 months after he got her off.

isn't that their job? otherwise, what's their use?

What are we supposed to do? Roll over?

Why? On what basis is he saying there was no basis to test his blood alcohol level? Is he just throwing shite on the wall?
