The difference is that there's a legal and forensic team working behind the scenes to get him out but no such team fighting to keep him inside.
What do you believe actually happens ‘behind the scenes’ ?!
In a solicitors office, solicitors, trainees and paralegals work on numerous matters each day / week / month and and year. Some may be individual client matters, some different people from the same area of the firm may work together and some different people from different areas of the firm work together.
Each piece of work is usually assigned a priority due to the immediacy the work needs to be completed, the importance of the client to the firm and the likelihood of further work.
The thought that there is a legal team solely focussed on jb, working exclusively on his case is simply not true. He will be very low priority compared to fee-paying clients. Fee-paying work and work from regular clients will always take priority over jb. Obviously this is only my opinion but I’ve worked in solicitors offices long enough to know how they work.
