Thank you, that does make sense. So Boreham was breaking the rules when he continued to represent Hanson, or were the rules different then?

Also... why does anyone guilty who wants to plead "not guilty" ever confess to their lawyer? Does it only ever happen by accident? Or is it a known way of getting rid of your lawyer and getting a new one? (I'm assuming there are cases where you don't get to pick your own lawyer, right? I mean, if I got accused of something and sent to court I certainly couldn't afford to employ a lawyer, so I'd get given one, wouldn't I, and I wouldn't get to pick who?)
