The Greatest Lawyer Story Ever

A Navy Sailor was in a car accident where he hit a pole and parked cars.  He may have had a seizure.  We don’t know. Marine base cops see he had a canister in his car and file DUI Drug charges against him.   Arrogant and shady naval prosecutor tried to coerce witnesses including senior military cop who said arresting officers are screw ups. 
His JAG officer is newly minted
Luckily he hired Jerry Bodow and Jeff Carver.  His career and dishonorable discharge on the line.  I prepped with Jerry for 5 hours yesterday and was up all night.   
I was too over the top. 
I saw only a slice, but I did see…
The last question the prosecutor asked was 
P:  how much are you being paid. ?
(Jerry skipped it so the prosecutor would ask it)
OO:  I’m not!!!!! (said it with surprise at the temerity)
P:  you aren’t being paid ?

OO: Noooooo!!!!  I paid for my own travel and accommodations to be here (Again said it with surprise at the temerity)

P: no more questions. 
Jerry redirected about how much I got paid.   Then asked why I didn’t charge. 
OO: he did nothing wrong and is getting screwed over.
That was Jerry’s last question for me
The had his mom, sister, dad, all former or current navy career people testify.  
The 3 Person tribunal would have come back in 2 minutes instead of five but they used the restroom.  
They saved his career.  
They saved his career. 
Not a typo, I am saying it twice.
 I tried not to cry in front of the guys.  Jerry and Jeff were nonchalant :). Waited till I got to the car.  It is a military base, not Dr. Phil.   
One thing I learned…  The JAG officer can be brand new when your career is on the line. That is scary. He needed J and J.
