The first lawyer is often a turkey, but two in a row?

It's one thing to vigorously defend one's client, but to toss out desperate excuses that sound terribly like "I was washing his ass with my penis" is just NOT helpful to any sort of defense.

Unless...the lawyer is doing this sort of thing early and often, in order to give Sandusky a shot at an "incompetent defense" appeal when he loses the case decisively.
