[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2462557, member: 76194"]What I'm about to say should not be construed as legal advise as OP apparently has a Texas licensed attorney representing him, but theoretically speaking if I was his attorney I'd be threatening to resign right about now. What OP is doing can have potentially disastrous effects on his case. He should honestly shut up, delete everything he's posted, and not say another word. Everything he's posted here can potentially be used to impeach his credibility. If he so much as says something here that contradicts his testimony at trial, if I was the Defense attorney I'd have a field day with it. Technically his statements are hearsay and cannot be used in court, but there is a loophole in most states that allows hearsay to come into court when it is in the form of prior inconsistent statements to impeach the credibility of the witness's testimony. So yes, there is a real danger he could be causing great harm to his case. I can't tell him to shut it because I'm not his lawyer, and I'm here in this forum as a private citizen and not as an officer of the court, but I hope the OP calls his lawyer fast and do some damage control before he says anything else which could really sink his case. One more note, I have not read the pleadings in his case because frankly the last thing I want to do in my off time is more work.
