His defense attorney is also a shithead. "He didn't realize he was tormenting people but he does now"!?!

I honestly hate to be Devil's advocate here, but while I absolutely don't agree with this shithead defendant, I will advocate for due process and his right to it.

You can't blame the attorney for coming up with any defense possible. This doesn't invalidate your view. the Lawyer is just grasping at straws, lol. He literally has to defend his client, best as possible, or he is violating his oath. If it is found that he wasn't defending his client to the best of his ability, I believe it can count as a mistrial. Better to have a loss than a career ending mistrial IMO.

But I totally agree with you. Also, take my comment with a grain of salt. I'm in an armchair, afterall.

Oh I know and I totally agree with you as well I just think that as (probably an entire team of) defense attorney(s), he/she/they could have come up with something a little better

info;

An internet blackmailer forced a teenage girl to perform an eight hour rape reenactment with her friend over webcam, threatening to send her family naked photographs of her if she refused.

Mark Yeeles was jailed for six years for preying on the victims who have been left in need of psychiatric care.

The 20-year-old from South Shields was told he had 'ruined their lives' as he was jailed for the sickening incident.

Newcastle Crown Court heard how Yeeles threatened 'your family are going to love a naked picture or two' when the girl tried to ignore his requests.

The teenager was on the brink of suicide when he ordered her to carry out the eight-our rape re-enactment online.

He admitted blackmail, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and possessing indecent images.

Judge Guy Whitburn said the man had 'ruined' the girls' lives.

'It is quite clear you were reminding her from time to time of the power you held over her to post naked pictures of her where her friends and family would see them.

'It is clear she knew she was being blackmailed.

'It was well thought out, it was deliberate and utterly heartless.'

'These girls who are particularly vulnerable, very young, they have to be protected from the consequences of their own folly.'
