If doctors have to take a hippocratic oath, then lawyers must be required to take a hypocritic one. Or at the very least, this lawyer did.
Over the weekend, criminal defense attorney Thomas L. Edwards was arrested and charged for a number of crimes as the result of a hit and run he was allegedly responsible for. The charges included leaving the scene of the crash, property damage, and refusing to take a DUI test.
Being charged for any sort of crime is embarrassing enough for an attorney, however Edwards' must be feeling that to an extreme after his mug shot appeared on a local mug shot website just next to an online ad for his own legal services. The ad includes an image of Edwards with the questions: "Suspected? Arrested? Charged?" all in large text underneath. It's like it was his own personal checklist.
My only question is, when he demanded to speak to his attorney, did the cops just hold a mirror up in front of his face? I sure as hell would have. At the very least, I hope he watched this video at some point. It's very informative:
