Conduct in Court

[JOY BELLS]

My Husband was recently in court for an alledged driving incident. After the witness for the prosecutor had given evidence and had left the court room my husband met him in the hall. He called him a lying B.... which he realises was the wrong thing to do. His lawyer heard this and then said she could not represent him and he had to finish the case himself. Does anyone know why she could not carry on?

cant you guess,if not TRY.

Is this the whole question? It sounds like he had shown that he could not control himself on previous occasions - if only when he and solicitor were present. This sounds like the solicitor had had enough and this was the last straw. She obviously could not condone his outburst in a courtroom and should not be expected to have any association with such a person.

[JOY BELLS]

No he is not given to outbursts and could not help himself after all the lies had been told. Also he had only met this lawyer that morning.

she obviously felt that your husbands conduct had compromised her in some way. While emotions can run high during a trial no lawyer wishes to see it carried on outside the courtroom. Why was your husband not in court throughout the hearing if he was the defendant. Approaching a witness before or after they have given evidence is never a sensible thing to do
