Sure, that’s a fair description of how he probably got started in his criminal behavior. But that’s not the situation he’s in now! He needs to think (or should be thinking) about how to minimize his time in jail.

He’s in serious serious legal jeopardy and he keeps opening his mouth. That’s a very, very bad strategy.

I guess to answer my own question he probably has his head so far up his own … that he can’t imagine why he should take anyone’s advice about anything, including lawyers.
