Description
The defendant and his brother were jointly indicted and tried for attempted murder. At the trial they were both represented by the same attorney. However, before the trial commenced, the court informed the defendants and their attorney that "[there] could be a possibility of a conflict of interest, in that the first individual [the defendant] was on the scene, one of the brothers was there and then the other brother came at a later date." The court indicated that it had "no objection if counsel and both defendants feel that there is no conflict of interest" and wished to continue the joint representation. In response to the courts questions the defendant and his brother acknowledged that they understood what the court was saying, but that there was no conflict of interest between them and that they wished to continue with the joint representation.
