So, if you're a criminal lawyer and don't want to represent your client, take a photo of his leopard
print underwear and post it on facebook.
Lawyer's Facebook post of underwear leads to mistrial in murder case
MIAMI — A lawyer posted a photo of her client's leopard-print underwear on her Facebook page, prompting a South Florida judge to declare a mistrial in a murder case.
The Miami Herald reports public defender Anya Cintron Stern, 31, was fired Wednesday.
According to the newspaper, Stern snapped a photo of the underwear with her cell phone as corrections officers inspected a bag of clothing Fermin Recaide's family had brought for him to wear to the trial. Officials say the caption suggested the family believed it was "proper attire for trial."
But someone saw the photo and reported it to Miami-Dade Judge Leon Firtel, who declared a mistrial.
