That is not the worst of it. The worst of it is that their request for a continuance seems dishonest and, to me, unethical. Nick's attorney is representing himself to other judges as being just about physically incapable of representing clients right now and is heading off to major surgery within days. And yet:
1) Nick's physically disabled attorney was (somehow) able to ask for a continuince, not based on his medical condition or imminent surgery, but rather his two clients needing to be at Hackmania.
2) The physical condition of Nick's attorney would seem to indicate that he will not be able to represent his clients for perhaps at least two months. Yet the judge seems to have only found out about this through what seems to have been informal conversations.
3) White seemed to be acting as if he was going to represent Nick if there was no continuence.
They are (IMO) just treating that judge openly as if he is a fool. And the judge seems to be ok with that. The judge should have not only rejected the request for a continuance for Hackmania, he should have demanded from white an explanation as what White's plan is for representing his clients in the case are and what the fuck he is thinking.
