You have the right to remain silent. So shut the fuck up. You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, we will provide you with the dumbest fucking lawyer on Earth. If you hire Johnny Cochrane, I'll kill you!

Former Billionaire 'Sir' Allen Stanford Appointed Public Defender

Flamboyant former billionaire financier 'Sir' Allen Stanford has been ordered a public defender in his $7 billion fraud case because he has no money for an attorney.

"The SEC and the receiver in Dallas took everything from him, not just what they claim was tied to the fraud…everything that he had down to his socks and underwear," lawyer Dick DeGuerin, who was released from Stanford's case this morning, told ABCNews.com.

DeGuerin said the problem was not only that he's received "not a penny" from Stanford, a former jetsetter who traveled to his homes around the world by private jet, but that the confidence they once had in one another was gone.

"It's all the interference from other attorneys that destroyed my relationship with him, and it's irreparable," DeGuerin told ABC News.
