Filing defense, as did lawyer Stijn Franken, can his strategy. That this works is more than once proved.
Attorneys who file their defenses are rare. However, the past few days killed two counselors before their case was dealt with substantive court. Robert Malewicz, lawyer Aydin C., gave it up because he had too little time to prepare for the trial; C. is suspected of making pornographic images of 39 victims. And then there was Willem Holleeder, suspected of involvement in murder, whose lawyer Stijn Franken after a long relationship threw in the towel.
A good strategy
What lessons can be drawn? Malewicz wanted more time to prepare the case. He got that do not. Because no one then presented itself as a successor, the court remained nothing but Malewicz to give the time he asked. Mission accomplished, you have to conclude from this incident. The defense picked a strategy may be working.
Whatever the case C. has made clear is that files take unpopular. The Amsterdam court ultimately responsible for finding legal assistance to the accused, failed to find someone who wanted and also the confidence enjoyed by the suspect.
The same could easily happen to the file-Holleeder. The accused himself wants to maintain the integrated Franks. You do have very good lawyers will house Holleeder want you as a new lawyer. The mud is so thin. If only because read in this case calls for a very long time: months.
For the money you do not have to do it. The 107 euros per hour addition rate is far removed from what top lawyers questions. The probability that we do not find a lawyer, has a strong presence. Especially now has Franken itself indicate that he only stopped because the president of the Bar Association has given the urgent advice.
