As a lawyer who has had meetings about our client’s case hitting the news—they’re probably thinking about getting a narrative out there before the DA or some other agency does. There might not be an option to negotiate not talking to the media. This isn’t normal everywhere though.
As they say: If the facts aren’t on your side, pound the law. If the law isn’t on your side, pound the table.
I think the lawyer is pounding the table. It’s ok to hate lawyers for this. We will still defend you if you get in trouble even if you deservedly hate us haha
