clip Leanne and the law

This clip chosen to be PG

Clip description

A discussion between Leanne, up on a charge of wilful damage, and her solicitor Leanne Warren who is preparing a defence. Leanne is a habitual drug user and is arrested regularly.

Curator’s notes

An interesting glimpse of the emotions behind the process. Leanne’s solicitor (Leanne Warren, from the Melbourne firm Leanne Warren and Associates) is clearly concerned for her, and emotionally involved in her plight.

Please note that Leanne is both the name of the solicitor and the client in this case.
