Guy James Gray and  his client didn’t talk for six weeks before trial:

When asked, “How can you defend a guy when you’re not communicating with him?”, Gray replies:

I filed a motion asking to get off the case. The judge didn’t want a delay, and he made me try it, and I tried it.

So having asked to get off the case, you’ve got no further duty to do things like communicate with your client? What a whiner. (Did I mention that he’s a former prosecutor? Just checking.)

The one bright spot: he’s retiring.
