I think the perfect pre-law path for a defense attorney would be a sociopath majoring in Literature: no conscience or sense of guilty, and a highly developed skill for willing suspension of disbelief.

I'm about to finish a degree in English Lit :???: not quit a sociopath however. I've also got a philosophy degree... which could possibly influence a sociopathic state :twisted:

They are taking the stance that he was going outside to "gather information for the Pasadena Police Department."

Not a bad call. This lawyer seems really good.


interesting stance from the attorney.. the fear for his life stemmed possibly from the 911 operator's insistence that if he went outside his life would be in danger.


I'm not about to call Joe a criminal... probably not the most intelligent actions possible... but by no means against the law... I'm not about to confront two unknown, possibly armed, criminals trying to "get away". I advocate staying in the house and calling the police... when you go outside "armed" to investigate, you're now in the "danger zone" and the police won't necessarily stop and ask your intentions upon arriving on the scene... Joe made a questionable call as far as common sense goes in my book, but i don't find him criminal.
