A good investigation starts with the beginning of a crime. Start with the lawyer. If he made a promise and didn't keep it, he is a guilty party, also. Then get the guys who beat him.

I am not for jailing people for minor traffic violations. I see no point in arresting someone for traffic tickets when suspending his license would be sufficient punishment until he can pay the fine.

I think the lawyer is where this investigation should begin. It may be revealing! Maybe more than a driver's license is involved here. Maybe the State Bar's Disciplinary Board ought to be involved and probably will be. Something ain't right about this case. A lawyer with integrity would represent his client from beginning to the end of a case.
