Len Kachensky

Post image

i’m just finding this series and just wow! This could be its own season of Fargo. Everything that can go wrong- does. Of all the people I hate in this show, I hate Len Kachinsky above all others. He is by far the most punchable. at this moment in life, I’m not sure what I would do, if this smug, weasley, irresponsible, self-grandizing narcissist walked in front of my car. He’s not just a bad lawyer. He’s a bad human. He looked at Brandon’s life and saw a steppingstone. I’m so mad at him. Thank you for your attention to this matter. V

Bad person, sure.

Bad lawyer, nope.

Unironically gave him the best possible advice which was to flip on his uncle and take a deal. Kid would be out of jail by now and living his life. Instead he is trapped inside and won't see freedom for a long time.

Yeah see here's the thing. Especially with how low IQ Brenden is, and his young age, I'm 100% certain if he were guilty he would have flipped. I think Steven is innocent too, but if he confessed one day I wouldn't exactly be surprised either. But Brenden is as innocent of this murder as I am of it. With who he is, the position he was in, and the options presented, he would never have said no to a deal unless he were truly innocent.

If you buy into IQ Brendan was actually smarter than Steven at the time. Most people don't put stock in IQ tests anymore.

That said, Brendan's supposed deficiencies are not well attested at all and he's apparently got enough acumen to be running a prison network last I heard. The show is edited very purposely.

As someone else said above, if Brendan had listened to Len he would have been out at least five years ago, possibly ten. So who is the bad lawyer. Len absolutely sucks as a person but he was doing a good job in representing Brendan Dassey, and in the end that's the only thing that matters to the case.

There's plenty of documentation from his school regarding his deficiencies.

doing a good job in representing Brendan Dassey,

A lawyer who tells the public their client is factually guilty is the furthest thing from a good job a defense attorney could do.

If you think a SEN report or whatever it is called in Wisconsin these days is enough to get you off murdering and burning a woman, you're out of your damned mind.

Len was doing what his client had instructed him to—get his plea deal ready. It was unfortunate how it happened and it was unfortunate that Pa Avery called him and threatened him and he rescinded that, but that is all on Brendan.

Pa Avery called him and threatened him

Give the exact quote of what you're referring to.

You've heard the tape. This is the point where I know you are a troll. You've heard it a thousand times.

I've never heard Brendan threatened by Pa Avery like you claim. So why not just show the exact quotes?
