They are not a good defense, however, when you are already charged with two counts of aggravated robbery, four counts of robbery and one count of carrying a concealed weapon.
The last I left the Maurice Clarett saga about 2 weeks ago, he had fired his attorneys, who then filed that he had not been paying him. He has since hired new lawyers. Said lawyers are vigorously working to clear his name, even if he is showing up to court an hour late to help take care of his new bastard daughter. Just this last Friday they weren’t capable, however, of getting his trial moved out of Columbus. They argued that a fair and impartial jury cannot be found in the area due to his, um, celebrity.
Perhaps it was a strategy move to help the trial-movement argument by making an illegal U-turn failing to stop when officers tried to pull him over, and disobeying orders to leave his vehicle which housed a loaded rifle and three loaded handguns. For his efforts he did learn his bullet resistant vest is also apparently also a stun gun but not mace resistant vest.
Don’t worry anybody. He’s innocent. I know it.
Good week for OSU fans… this immediately following Jim O’Brien winning the “who cares if I cheated, pay up, bitches!” lawsuit.
