Well yeah, but then why is he still allowed to be a practicing lawyer? I wouldn't have a problem with the plot if it was just "oops, your lawyer stole your money, wasted it and then drove his car off a bridge" or something but the fact that it was a government lawyer giving a sanctimonious speech and then refusing to…
