Meanwhile that lawyer is taking a bribe from the government to not represent Luigi.
Considering that that’s something that explicitly results in disbarment, and that an incompetent or deliberately poor legal defense is grounds for a new trial, I highly doubt that this would occur.
There are ways around these consequences, of course, but there would be very few defense attorneys willing to risk their career to facilitate a win for the government. I suppose blackmail isn’t out of the question, if they want to go down that road, but that’s highly speculative and conspiratorial.
