What Does a Winning Defendant Do?

Why, he starts a blog, of course.

Geoffrey Fleiger was fully of bravado before he became a defendant.  And he’s full of bravado again.  Learn what life is like for Fleiger, ex-post-defendant, at his new blog, FleigerTime.

It appears that we have a new convert to the abuse of government power and the joys of fighting the good fight.

An example of the wit and wisdom:

As I was watching the Olympics, I was reminded of something I said to Gerry Spence when I was visiting  Trial Lawyers College in July:

“Trial law is the only blood sport where you can be an Olympic gold medalist at age 79.”

With four photos of Fleiger across the masthead, looking as if he’s either competing for America’s next top model or in serious pain, this is definitely worth a look.  I wonder what he would have done if he’d lost?

    In response to the speculation of, “I wonder what he would have done if he’d lost?”

    Maybe he did not lose because he was fully committed to taking a stand against what he believed to be overbearing and unwarranted actions by a government agency.

    Maybe winning against overwhelming odds presented by a bully requires a mindset of complete and unwavering determination in order to prevail.

    I think it does.

    There is extreme satisfaction in laying down a belligerent Goliath.

    It would be wonderful if “unwavering determination” on the part of a defendant was all that was needed to prevail.  Unfortunately, it’s not enough.  The prisons are full of people who believe.

    Yes, skill, resources, and good fortune are also necessary components. Determination alone is not all that is required. However I do believe it is a critical component of winning and I am glad when someone prevails against an unjust action.
