So why does a mother whose child just died accidentally because her husband forgot him in the car get a lawyer ASAP?
From Leanna's POV, I can imagine she
might want to talk w Ross' atty -
to ask his opn, about Ross' changes, whether charges could stick, etc.
Let's say Leanna contacted Maddox Kilgore, after Ross had engaged him MK as his atty re criminal charge.
I wonder what, if anything, MK could have disclosed or discussed w her.
I'm guessing nothing or virtually nothing.
Would a crim defense atty agree to talk w Ross and Leanna at the same time?
Agree to talk to her at all?
It's poss before Cooper's death that Ross and Leanna were an hour, a day, a week from filing for divorce. Who knows? IDK.
In defending husband-father in child's death (or any charge),
seems like, atty would have to 'keep open' the option of
pointing responsibility for Cooper's death to another,
anyone but Ross, including wife-mother.
Seems like atty rep'ing Ross cannot represent her or offer legal advice to her.
Poor little Cooper. RIP.
ETA: As newone said above, if she is truly innocent, getting an atty to rep her, may prevent her going down the drain w Ross.
