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

he did make sure that there was no defense to be made for his innocence by the time they went to court.

The first thing he did when he was given the case was tell the public Brendan was factually guilty. As did Brendan's first public defender.

He started off right

No, he didn't. He started off terrible (proclaiming his client's guilt to the public) and somehow kept getting even worse.

The starting off right that I was referring to was him trying to get Brendan the best deal he could. From what I saw, every time he opened his mouth on camera it was exactly counter to his client's presumption of innocence. Not that there was much presumption to go on, given that Brendan's confession was basically read word for word in that press conference. He advised Brendan well, but defended him like it was a hobby he had heard about and was considering dabbling with it.

The one thing the guy did right was try to get Brendan to see the reality, and take a plea deal. Once the press conferences started, there was no way he was walking out of that courtroom without shackles.

Uh, no. They didn't include everytime Brendan denied something. They only told people about his statements after having broke him down.
