Yeah, I'm vaguely familiar with the term. Do you know what happens to people who "Lawyer Up" in those circumstances? They take a fall, and spend fifteen years being married to a guy named Bubba. And this is in Texas we're talking about (in Low Riders case.) I wouldn't wish a trip to the Texas Pennitentiary on Cheney, let alone some dumb kid who made a mistake with 15 hits of Extacy.

You lawyer up in a case like this, you get HARD time because you've pissed off the Assistant DA who made you an offer, offended the jurors (since you're dumb enough to actually let it go to trial instead of taking the deal) who have seen their communities overrun by drugs, and incurred the wrath of a granite-faced, 80-year-old Texas Judge who hates everything, everybody, and especially YOU for wasting everyone's time instead of taking the deal you were offered from the get-go.

You want to LawyerUp? You deserve to go to prison. Say hi to Bubba for me.
