You are at your office, and one of your clients walks in, and places a gun, that has been fired on your desk. What do you do with the gun? Also this same client has knowledge of a defendant that you defended, and that client, the one you defended buy medicine online without prescription was found guilty but the client that gave you the gun knows he or she is innocent. Now that you have information about the wrongfully imprisoned client from another client, morally, and ethically speaking should you, or would you break the attorny-client priviledge? Would you litigate the attorney-client priviledge clause? Assume you defended the jailed client first, for armed robbery and first degree murder and he or she is on death row.
