Back in January I posted a commentary about the stupidity of Max B’s lawyer, Gerald M. Saluti, who had recently posted a Youtube video (which has since been removed, but still resides on OnSmash.com) responding to internet gossip regarding the rapper’s murder trial (see Max B Needs to Fire His Lawyer).

Well, the murder trial is now upon us, and Mr.Saluti is at it again. Rather than focusing on how to discredit eyewitness testimony implicating the rapper in the case, Saluti has chosen to take his case to Twitter to taunt Max B’s ex-girlfriend, Gina Conway, who he refers to as “the devil” in his tweets.

Today, illseed of allhiphop.com rumors fame elaborated on additional tweets allegedly made by Max B’s lawyer:

closing statements are today…then we will be wavy…lol

Max B closing argument is gonna be tuesday! Come on fans, support ur boy, facing life in prison X 3! Bout to beat his case and take over!

that’s crazy, I just finished a murder case in nyc, they suck, beatem all day, good luck to ur man

already memorized the files, blew that b***h gina up on court today, not guilty on its way, watch

missed u today in court, I killed that b***h!

While I was able to find Saluti’s Twitter profile, I wasn’t able to find these specific tweets. I suspect, as was the case with the Youtube video, Saluti may have decided that this conduct wasn’t the best way to defend his client, but hasn’t fully grasped the idea that just because you delete something on the internet doesn’t mean it no longer exists.

A verdict is expected in the case today and while I won’t say that an unfavorable verdict for his client should lie on Saluti’s shoulders, I do believe this guy should switch professions as he is desperately seeking stardom and doing so at the expense of his clients.

I’m guessing if a guilty verdict is delivered, Saluti will present his case for appeal via a dis track aimed at Gina Conway.

This video popped up all over the hip-hop blogs this morning featuring Max B and his attorney, Gerald M. Saluti, discussing Max B’s pending murder trial. Yes, you read that correctly, this is a Youtube video of a lawyer discussing his client’s murder trial.

While I understand it is common for an attorney to speak on their client’s behalf regarding legal matters, this is generally done when the lawyer is actually asked a question that he feels warrants a response, and even in those cases you want to be as brief as possible in answering these questions.

In this case no one is asking questions. If anything, Mr.Saluti is responding to internet gossip, probably something illseed wrote on the Allhiphop rumors page. Furthermore, he goes on for over six minutes addressing these issues.

If there’s a rationale explanation about how this helps the case- I would love to hear it, otherwise I think Max B should start shopping his I’m about to go to jail reality series asap.
