Best Legal Advice
Taylor was desperate for business, and was happy to be appointed by the court to defend an indigent defendant. The judge ordered Taylor:
- You are to confer with the defendant in the hallway, and give him the best legal advice you can.
After a time, Taylor re-entered the courtroom alone. When the judge asked where the defendant had gone, Taylor replied:
- You asked me to give him good advice. I found out that he was guilty as hell, so I told him to split.
