Hey, PA 3L SVT, until you have the exact question asked of your criminal attorney (in writing preferred, so there is little chance of garbled communications issues over did you REALLY ask the right question or not), and get a WRITTEN opinion from that attorney, then a reading comprehension exercise does NOT address my concerns. If you missed something in doing your research, or if you did not quite ask the right question of your attorney, or if he misunderstood your question, or you misunderstood his answer, then you are looking to screw yourself.
Hetfield wants to agree with you, but by that, does he mean to vouch for the accuracy of your conclusions and the information on which you based them? He can't. And he shouldn't, in part because those issues are TOO EASY to get wrong. Similar to how you are now saying everything is final and decided in your criminal matter, my opponent said everything was decided and final in a civil dispute in Mossbrucker v. Greenfield Implement, 774 P2d 1267. When I came aboard in the case after trial, the trial court judge even agreed with my opponent. But I disagreed. And a panel of the court of appeals agreed with me.
So be my guest, stay on the surface with a cute reading comprehension exercise. Or think a bit more critically, and figure out that you're maybe not as safe as you thought. Hey, if you're happy with your conclusion, it's your shot to call and it's your life. But if you are seeking superficial validation about the quality of your legal research and soundness of your legal conclusions from guys on a car site, you have it.
