Is it still an ethical violation if the client has made their (alleged) criminal conduct very public?

Only if the client said, I’m doing this crime and yes it’s crime.

Iirc you can only talk about matters of public record, and sometimes not even then.

I don’t think it’s an ethical violation in PA, actually - their rules are a bit more permissive than the model rules in this context.

Before I foolishly went to law school I did this for a bank. Granted this was in like 2003 and the bank had gotten their hand slapped for some light money laundering before I was hired, so they were taking it a little more seriously. No whiskey.

Question about recent events.

1. It is a felony to desecrate a capitol monument
2. A police officer was killed during the action. I assume this will result in a charge of murder, but who knows.
3. In the US, if you are involved in a felony that results in a death, you can be charged with that death. For example robbers have been charged with murder when their partners in crime were killed by police.

Does this mean that anyone charged with felony trespassing is on the hook for the death as well?

I think the cop had a stroke or something.

E: nvm I’m kinda wrong RE how the cop died

^ what we call “felony murder” doesn’t just mean a murder committed at the same time as any felony. Pretty sure it has to be the type of crime that a reasonable person would recognize a death would likely result from.

I’m not sure what the state of the felony murder rule is for federal crimes, but it wouldn’t implicate the whole mob. Only direct accomplices and aiders/abetters.

Before the law sits a gatekeeper. To this gatekeeper comes a man from the country who asks to gain entry into the law. But the gatekeeper says that he cannot grant him entry at the moment. The man thinks about it and then asks if he will be allowed to come in later on. “It is possible,” says the gatekeeper, “but not now.” At the moment the gate to the law stands open, as always, and the gatekeeper walks to the side, so the man bends over in order to see through the gate into the inside. When the gatekeeper notices that, he laughs and says: “If it tempts you so much, try it in spite of my prohibition. But take note: I am powerful. And I am only the most lowly gatekeeper. But from room to room stand gatekeepers, each more powerful than the other. I can’t endure even one glimpse of the third.” The man from the country has not expected such difficulties: the law should always be accessible for everyone, he thinks, but as he now looks more closely at the gatekeeper in his fur coat, at his large pointed nose and his long, thin, black Tartar’s beard, he decides that it would be better to wait until he gets permission to go inside. The gatekeeper gives him a stool and allows him to sit down at the side in front of the gate. There he sits for days and years. He makes many attempts to be let in, and he wears the gatekeeper out with his requests. The gatekeeper often interrogates him briefly, questioning him about his homeland and many other things, but they are indifferent questions, the kind great men put, and at the end he always tells him once more that he cannot let him inside yet. The man, who has equipped himself with many things for his journey, spends everything, no matter how valuable, to win over the gatekeeper. The latter takes it all but, as he does so, says, “I am taking this only so that you do not think you have failed to do anything.” During the many years the man observes the gatekeeper almost continuously. He forgets the other gatekeepers, and this one seems to him the only obstacle for entry into the law. He curses the unlucky circumstance, in the first years thoughtlessly and out loud, later, as he grows old, he still mumbles to himself. He becomes childish and, since in the long years studying the gatekeeper he has come to know the fleas in his fur collar, he even asks the fleas to help him persuade the gatekeeper. Finally his eyesight grows weak, and he does not know whether things are really darker around him or whether his eyes are merely deceiving him. But he recognizes now in the darkness an illumination which breaks inextinguishably out of the gateway to the law. Now he no longer has much time to live. Before his death he gathers in his head all his experiences of the entire time up into one question which he has not yet put to the gatekeeper. He waves to him, since he can no longer lift up his stiffening body. The gatekeeper has to bend way down to him, for the great difference has changed things to the disadvantage of the man. “What do you still want to know, then?” asks the gatekeeper. “You are insatiable.” “Everyone strives after the law,” says the man, “so how is it that in these many years no one informed me that this gold-fringed United States flag designates this as an Admiralty court which cannot hear cases outside of maritime law?”
