Liarwyers Hall of Shame

[MultiTroll]

Not enough bandwidth to cover all these creatures so let's keep it to the real outstanding ones.

Cliffs:
Man taken to ER with extreme stomach pain. Dr misplaces tube, punctures the mans colon. Dies slowly and miserably over the next month.

The case involved “a guy that was probably negligently killed, but we kind of made it look like other people did it,” McKenna said. “And we actually had a death certificate that said he died the very way the plaintiff said he died and we had to say, ‘No, you really shouldn’t believe what that death certificate says, or the coroner from the Orange County coroner’s office.'"


McKenna was not done.


“Overcoming all of those hurdles, we managed to sock three lawyers in the face,” he said, referring to three plaintiffs’ attorneys. It was the fastest defense verdict he had ever won, he said, inviting the legal partner who had tried the case with him to ring a victory bell.


McKenna’s speech was recorded on video and posted to his firm’s social media page, but quickly removed. Nevertheless, it is now in wide circulation, with furious backlash from the legal community.
“In my opinion, this is one of the reasons people tend to distrust and even hate lawyers,” said Jorge Ledezma, the lead attorney representing the plaintiffs in the feeding-tube case. “They will say one thing to the jury or in public, and then say the opposite in private.”
In the video, he said, McKenna is essentially “admitting to tricking the jury,” adding: “This would be the equivalent of Johnnie Cochran saying, ‘I know O.J. did it, but we got him off anyway.’”
