Salman Butt's lawyer withdraws from spot-fixing case (lol what a reason to chicken out)

[mastana]

LAHORE: Suspended cricketer Salman Butt suffered a blow Saturday in his fight to have his name cleared over spot-fixing allegations after his lawyer withdrew from the case. “I don’t think the suspended players will get justice, so I have withdrawn from the case,†Aftab Gul told Pakistani media of the case which will be heard in Qatar from January 6-11 next year. Salman, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer were provisionally suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) last month over allegations of spot-fixing during Pakistan’s tour of England. The suspension came after revelations in British newspaper News of the World, which claimed several Pakistani players took money to bowl deliberate no-balls during the Lord’s Test against England in August. Gul, along with another lawyer Khalid Ranjha, represented Salman during the appeal against the suspension, which was dismissed last month. Aamer, who was represented by lawyer Shahid Karim, also had his appeal turned down, while Asif withdrew his appeal after initially deciding to challenge the punishment. The ICC on Friday announced a three-man panel led by Michael Beloff to hear the case of the players in which the actual charges levelled against the players will be examined.

Sounds perfectly like the sinking ship and desserting rats story. He saw the ICC evidence during the appeals hearing and knows his cheater client is going to get a life ban.

Yea but whatever happened to the principle of fighting tooth and nail to defend his client ? Even if they lose, so what. He'll get his service fees right ?

Now, thats interesting. A lot of times lawyers quit cases because they find that their client had not been telling them the entire truth and that all their hard work on preparing a defense has been wasted because they were ignorant of what the real case is. Now, in a client-lawyer relationship, all communications from the client to the lawyer is privileged and confidential and hence the lawyer can not give the real reason why he is quitting the case. In most such cases, they show some other excuse and quit the case.

Man Thats the funniest post I ever read on this forum :hysterical::hysterical: You sure do come up with some gems

Wait, what? :blink: He says he's quitting the case because he think Butt will not get justice, but as Butt's lawyer, isnt it his job to make sure his client gets justice? So lets get this straight - Asif didnt even appeal, Butt lawyer pulled out... Wonder what Mohammed Aamir's doing now? Probably installing the water-pump that he bought from his sport-fixing money, in his village? :hmmm:

[Guest Gunner]

lolwut, is he even allowed to do this as per the professional ethics standards for lawyers?

[Ranjha]

pakiyon ki toh lag gayi

[Desi Cartman]

He got inspired by Haider's quitting heroics :hitler:

This is the Pakistani way of saying - "The ICC has taken the right call by suspending these players. They have all the proof they need to convict this man and there is nothing I can do to prevent the inevitable".
