Taylor
was desperate for business, and was happy to be appointed by the court to defend
an indigent defendant.

The
judge ordered Taylor, "You are to confer with the defendant in the hallway, and
give him the best legal advice you can."

After a
time, Taylor re-entered the courtroom alone.

When
the judge asked where the defendant had gone, Taylor replied, "You asked me to
give him good advice. I found out that he was guilty, so I told him to split."
