You’d think this would be obvious. If you’re a jet setter type and you’re being tried in a sleepy town you need a sleepy advocate to help the jury relate to you. You don’t try to land a 747 in a parking lot. People who are out of touch don’t get this concept. They think because they are so pleased with themselves and their set that others will be too! That’s the unkind view.Tallahassee has a small town vibe, in spit of its size. It would have behooved Charlie to hire local attorneys who can connect with jury members interpersonally. Tally is the south. Miami is New York City.
The reality is the avg person is not knowledgeable about criminal defense lawyers or criminal trials/jurors etc. It’s not something you think about until you get charged. Only habitual criminals have a defense lawyer on speed dial. Often times high profile ppl have civil lawyers in their circle and they ask them for representation and the civil lawyer has to tell them no you need a criminal lawyer! Sometimes you see the civil lawyer at initial hearings and such.
