Lawyers can be your absolute best friend. No one can as fierce or relentless in your defense. Of course, they want to be paid, but sometimes they will defend you because they are motivated by justice. By a desire for truth. By an overwhelming conviction that you deserve to prevail over the petty insults of mortals and fate.

In unrelated news, Lindsay's lawyer quit:

She may be resigning in utter disgust with the entire justice system, thinking that the case against Lindsay was a parody of a travesty of a sham:

Or it's possible that the lawyer read Lindsay's recent tweets about her trial, which indicate her client's epic delusions:

Yes, she's claiming that her sentence violates international standards of human rights. The lawyer realized she wasn't schooled in international law, resigned, and is now heading to Brussels to brush up in case Lindsay wants to seek asylum in Monaco, which she loves, because she totally identifies with Princess Grace who was so tragic too.

Delusion runs in the family: Her mother told ET they're still swinging. "I think it's time we get another attorney just to see it from another light and do damage control," she said. Yes, she blames the lawyer:

When you've been popped for driving drunk, blown off your light sentence, done everything to avoid anything that faintly resembles contrition, then get sent to jail for about 30 days (that's what she'll serve), don't be lecturing everyone else on fairness. Because for most who've watched this sorry story, "fairness" involves fire-ants and a sealed packing crate.
