        Was gonna say this. Its not the money its the fame and if they pull it off they will literally be legends.

            I would disagree. If they fail they will have the basic fame and a noteworthy trivia around the thing but legendary? Thats gonna require a win.

          Enough money that it’s a legitimate job on its own really helps. 300k is a reasonable number for that.

            Keep in mind that is not the take home pay of an attorney but will need to be used for various expenses which pile up with court cases including hiring people to do various aspects of the work on something this big. Its very possible that Karen Friedman Agnifilo may end up doing it pro bono which if the possible pay is low enough may even be preferable to do financially for her.

      It’s a shame he even needs the money since it’s so obvious he’s innocent.

      I don’t think 300 million would even be enough. They want to make an example of him.

          How do you figure? The US has handled a lot of notorious cases, and most of them get quietly forgotten in prison.

            How many of them were a rich white dude? That’s the difference.

      It could have gone far towards doing some actual good, instead of donated to an ivy league kid’s murder defence fund.
