"... if she did everything by the book (and not by a legal loophole where she didn't have to notify CK because she had POA to approve the switch)..."
We're MISSING big pieces of the puzzle---the PoA language itself, who did what when, and more.
Is ^ post saying the PoA doc executed by XK's Mother explicitly permitted AT to "switch" meaning to withdraw from rep'ing client CN in that crim case?
And to begin rep'ing BCK in the murder of CN's daughter?
And that the PoA authorizes AT to do that without notifying CN?
And without AT seeking and receiving CN's consent?
If PoA doc explicitly permitted that, for atty to ignore ethical obligations re client engagement & client termination, & if that's what happened, well, cowabunga, dude.
If I misinterpreted post, pls clarify.
