    Did you miss this line?

    “Mr. Marta had nothing to do with custodial kidnapping,” Scott Rosenblum told the outlet. “He was essentially a landlord.”

    With only that to go on…there’s some level of guessing at what that even means. You can only try and figure it out on hypothetical application.

    These places are DYING to put the words “Qanon”, “sex trafficking”, “sound of freedom” into an article for SEO purposes. You should start being critical of your sources rather than just taking things for face value.

      He’s a lawyer. It’s his entire job to lie and get his client off the charges. Do you actually believe a word that comes out of a defense lawyers mouth?

        My wife got arrested for DUI when she was having a brain bleed and needed to be taken to a hospital, not a jail…but pigs are gonna be pigs, and a defense lawyer is the one who got it taken care of, so yes. Immediately jumping to “there’s a defense lawyer, you can’t believe him!”…is…kind of stupid. You know people get arrested, sued, etc for all sorts of things that aren’t true right?

        Her defense lawyer ended up being a piece of shit in the end, sure – but we have a justice system for a reason ya know.
