So, my douchebag neighbor lawyer (well, two blocks away, anyway) and his ho-bag wife for no fucking reason just stone-cold pimped me out to the city court judge with a totally bogus accusation.
To wit, the ho-bag was speeding in her Cayenne (as her husband always says, "It's one of three in the Hattiesburg area, and the only one that's grey"), and she got pulled over by our HPD champion ticket writer. He is known for pulling over blondes with nice tits. The ho-bag is a blonde with nice tits. But he's also known for righteous ticket-writing, and for not helping people out. He wrote a speeding ticket for his academy roommate's wife when she was driving to meet her mom at the ER, and wouldn't fix the ticket.
So douchebag says, "Hey, Scipio, can you help my wife out with a ticket?"
Mind you, I am the felony prosecutor. I am never in traffic court, unless the full-time prosecutor is sick. But I asked him, "Who gave her the ticket? Cause I got to tell you, I saw she was pulled over by a city cop the other day."
So he tells me, and I say, "He doesn't fix tickets. Her best bet is to go in there and to try to sweet talk him."
So instead ho-bag goes in and says, "Scipio told my husband he would fix the ticket." Needless to say, the judge hit the roof, and the officer was pissed as well. This happened on Tuesday. I just found out today.
So, I never used to have a shit list.
Now I do. And there are two people on top of it.
Caltrops, easy to make and deploy.

I sued her fucking parents for a client of mine. And lost, because my client was a dumbass and wouldn't follow my advice.

Prosecutor recommends dropping charges, judge agrees, poor sap pays a mandatory appearance fee in the form of court costs, no points, no conviction.
Catch is you never, ever ask for it. Also, it HAS to come from the traffic prosecutor that's there that day.

I've had a few customers who did this type of thing to me after I've finished their conversion. Weeks, months, even years later they will tell someone else in my company that I promised or committed something that I never did. And don't think I don't keep a list. It's not as if I ever take revenge, but they get zero favors from me. I'll generally go above & beyond to help "old" clients even though they're not supposed to contact me to fix something for them. But if they've thrown me under the bus, I politely inform them they need to take their issue or concern to our oh-so-wonderful client support team and get in the back of the queue. Something I could fix for them in a few minutes will then take a week or more to even get acknowledged.

Now the judge is claiming that the boss prosecutor was pissed at me.
This is a regular fucking circle jerk of idiocy.
I didn't look at this thread before due to the NSFW tag. But now I'm at home.
Honestly I'm surprised at the judge for buying this accusation. I've found lawyers (and judges) will cover for fellow members of the bar. If an accused person tries to throw the prosecutor, or their own lawyer, under the bus they'll go "well I'm pretty sure Scipio would never say something like that. We better ask him if he actually said that to you."
In some ways it's kind of shitty, as several pretty terrible lawyers never get called out on their antics, but it does mean that people making baseless accusations don't go very far.

That's why, whenever somebody approaches you with hinky shit like that you report it to somebody, even if it's in an email, just as a preemptive policy. Narc not, want not.
This is one of the situations when spells and curses come in handy. :P
Not because they do anything (but they might), but you get a sense of having done something, which gives you closure, instead of just sitting there, pissed off, in your impotence. :P

I think somebody approaching a public prosecutor to request that he fix a ticket is a little bit more than ratting out somebody from IT for not doing their job. Just sayin'.

Wow. So painful. And what a chunk out of my day to accomplish.
Seedy, people ask me to withdraw, or take a lesser plea, to charges every single day. They'll ask me to do things I am explicitly prohibited from doing.
The problem here is people listening to what other people are saying Scipio said, instead of asking Scipio.

Glad you ignored the substance of my post. The problem isn't that it takes so long to but such together but that people start acting as though they'll need to be able to justify everything and spend more time on documentation than getting shit done.
Happens all the time here when I ask people to do things that are a little outside of our standard process. I get this whole song and dance for them to cover themselves when I've said from the outset that I'll take any heat that comes down.

Didn't ignore it; just a lot easier to cover your own ass than expect others to cover it for you. I'd much rather give my boss the heads up than wait for some asshole to complain to their boss, who in turn complains to your boss, and then have to deal with straightening out an entire story from the defensive end, trying to reduce the molehill that's already become a mountain. NO THATS NOT WHAT I TOLD HIM, etc.

Yeah, even if Scipio had covered his ass with a self serving email it would not have helped.
On the issue of cya letters and emails, I agree with Garbon. They are mainly unproductive. There may be some situtations in which they might be warranted but if I was in Scipio's position this probably would not have been one of them. Somebody asked him to do something and he said no. End of story.
It would be different if he had advised someone to do something and they declined his advice. That is generally when the cya letter goes out.
