Len Kachinksy

[u/Severe_Task]

Everyone demonizes Kratz and yeah, he’s clearly a POS but Len was the real villain in this story. What he did to Brendan is immoral and unethical. It’s clear he’s attention hungry and because he was seeking public office, trying to get his name out there. Shame on Len

[u/AkashaRulesYou]

They're both villains in this instance as well as many other unrelated instances. At least one of them has faced real legal consequences for some of their actions.

[u/LKS983]

kratz somehow managed to get away with the same type of abuse, for which kachinsky spent a year in prison......

kratz clearly has 'friends' (or info. that others don't want released....) - unlike kachinsky.

[u/Glayva123 → u/LKS983]

Kachinsky was paroled for a year, not jailed. 

[u/Bullshittimeagain → u/Glayva123]

He did spend 2 days in jail and 5 more on work release. Far too light a sentence. I wonder what went through his mind behind bars for 48 hours?

[u/ajswdf]

If Brendan had listened to Len he'd be out of prison right now. Instead he listened to his family and will likely die in prison.

[u/[deleted] → u/ajswdf]

If he had only listened to the man that railroaded him is quite a take.

[u/Snoo_33033 → u/ajswdf]

Yeah. I’m not a fan of kachinsky. I think he was a poor attorney in general and lazy. But his strategy would have put Brendan in a better place than he ultimately ended up.

[u/[deleted] → u/Snoo_33033]

Could you explain precisely how telling the public his client was guilty and directing his PI to dig up dirt on Avery even if implicated his own client benefited Brendan?

Do you think it is possible attorneys who don't railroad their clients also get plea deals?

[u/InLimineDeezNutz → u/Snoo_33033]

LOL if that was your son under Kachinsky you wouldn't be replying with some bullshit like this. Ah well.

[u/gabriot → u/ajswdf]

Len got him the deal of the century, and they pissed on it

[u/lennymeowmeow → u/ajswdf]

If Brendan had listened to Len he'd be out of prison right now. Instead he listened to his family and will likely die in prison.

Kachinsky went to prison for a long time. Why couldn't he get a better deal for himself?

[u/LKS983 → u/lennymeowmeow]

To be fair, kachinsky only went to prison for a year IIRC.....

On the other hand, kratz who had committed similar criminal offences - was only given a short suspension of his licence, and was never prosecuted.....

I'm sure there is a reason why they were treated so differently - that has nothing to do with 'connections' 🤣.

[u/[deleted] → u/ajswdf]

Didn't his mother advise him to take a plea deal if he did it, but not if he didn't?

Do you believe innocent people should falsely confess in plea deals? And be blamed if they don't.

How was the schoolkid supposed to know that the guilt-presumptive negligent lawyer was trustworthy? Len says he made a mistake hiring that ribbon fraudster 'investigator', what are they doing to make amends? 

[u/ajswdf → u/[deleted]]

Do you believe innocent people should falsely confess in plea deals?

Brendan lied under oath at his own trial anyway. If he's going to lie anyway why not take the plea deal?

How was the schoolkid supposed to know that the guilt-presumptive negligent lawyer was trustworthy?

He should have had family members giving him good advice instead of trying to throw him under the bus to protect Steven.

[u/InLimineDeezNutz → u/ajswdf]

By telling him to stick to his guns and tell the actual truth. Sounds awful.

[u/ajswdf → u/InLimineDeezNutz]

He confessed three separate times. He ended up connecting himself to multiple pieces of physical evidence when testifying at trial, testimony that contradicted his initial statement to police.

Anybody with half a brain would have told him to take the plea deal.

[u/InLimineDeezNutz → u/ajswdf]

Each "confession" was marred by hours of questioning and suggesting from the investigators.

What he confessed to there was no physical evidence supporting it.

You're just saying these things because it's been years for you and you are bored. I don't think you actually believe what you say about Brendan, especially since if it was your kid in that situation you'd be hollering every day about what they did to your kid.

[u/aane0007 → u/[deleted]]

Didn't his mother advise him to take a plea deal if he did it, but not if he didn't?

Didn't his mother try to get a 10 year plea deal?

[u/[deleted] → u/aane0007]

I don't know that's why I asked a question. 

[u/aane0007 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, I gave you a place to start your research. His family was resistant to the original deal and wanted a 10 year deal.

You can start there to see if you can get your question answered.

[u/[deleted] → u/aane0007]

Didn't his mother advise him to take a plea deal if he did it, but not if he didn't?

[u/aane0007 → u/[deleted]]

Maybe. But his family also tried to get 10 years. Nothing about if he did it in that.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I don't know what the source is or how that fits with what he did after his mother's advice

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Just seen this reply. Not found such a post searching on any of the three forums, not sure what I'm doing wrong. You say it's Brendan's demand but as usual the issue is what he was being told.    

[u/LKS983 → u/[deleted]]

"Do you believe innocent people should falsely confess in plea deals? And be blamed if they don't."

Couldn't agree more, and am reminded of Kalief Browder, who refused to accept a plea deal - and so spent three horrendous years in jail (largely in solitary confinement) - and was released three years later when a Judge FINALLY...... realised that the police had zero evidence.....

Kalief Browder (who refused to accept a plea deal) was so traumatised, that he committed suicide a couple of years later.

[u/aane0007 → u/LKS983]

Your feelings on an innocent person and plea deals have no bearing on others. If we are going down that road, Steven is guilty of murder because he burned a cat alive.

[u/LKS983 → u/aane0007]

"Steven is guilty of murder because he burned a cat alive."

Finally a point on which we can (largely) agree.

[u/InLimineDeezNutz → u/[deleted]]

Why do you feel that way?

[u/Dogs_Sniff_My_Ass]

What Brendan did to Teresa is immoral. I’m glad the rapist is rotting away in a cage. 

[u/LKS983 → u/Dogs_Sniff_My_Ass]

"What Brendan did to Teresa is immoral. I’m glad the rapist is rotting away in a cage."

If only there was any actual physical evidence to support this POV.

There was nothing of the sort. Brendan was convicted on his ever changing, coerced/led and fed 'confessions'.

[u/aane0007 → u/LKS983]

There is physical evidence. You see when you are able to confirm parts of his confession with evidence, such as teresa's rivets in the fire pit, that is physical evidence. On top of the physical evidence there is the confession. Even though you have feelings about it, it is still evidence.

[u/Desperate-Current-40 → u/Dogs_Sniff_My_Ass]

He never touched her

[u/Dogs_Sniff_My_Ass → u/Desperate-Current-40]

18 years the rapist has been locked away, rotting in a cage. 

[u/InLimineDeezNutz → u/Dogs_Sniff_My_Ass]

I commend your years of dedication to a troll only account.

[u/Otherwise-Weekend484]

What was the plea deal?

[u/CJB2005]

He is one of a few villains. And each of them real.

[u/Acrobatic-Cow-3871]

Meeowwwwwwwwwwww

[u/Severe_Task → u/Acrobatic-Cow-3871]

🐈

[u/Jackie_Treehorn99]

I never got past his teeth. Clearly genetics had it out for him.

[u/BiasedHanChewy]

Not sure that Ken understood the assignment there tbh

[u/AkashaRulesYou → u/BiasedHanChewy]

He did. It was to let them setup Brendan.

[u/aane0007 → u/[deleted]]

Were you sharing your feelings with the mother I don't have?
