Captain of whose ship?

During our first meeting, outside of Judge Weiser's Courtroom-Victoria TX, Mr. Lewis told me, "We're not going to win. If you don't take the DA's deal then we're going to enhance your misdemeanor charge to felony counts." Immediately, you should notice 2 things: 1. This young man didn't say that ...we might lose or that there was a high probability of us losing. He said that "we would lose." 2. He said "we're" going to enhance the charges. He didn't say the DA's Office. He said "we're." From the beginning this attorney revealed that he was highly inexperienced and/or nothing more than a "puppet" for the State(looking at this attorney's AVVO profile, you will note that he has been practicing law for a short period in Texas). Our next meeting was at Mr. Lewis's Office. I proceeded to demonstrate in which direction that I desired my case to proceed. Nearly all my suggestions were refuted. Mr. Lewis stated, "I am the Captain of this ship and it will go where I steer it." Excuse me! Excuse me! Correction! This is my life that the State of Texas is playing with; not Mr. Lewis'. It is "my ship" that is being attacked; not his. Now, let me be clear on something! As a minister, I am not supposed to agree to something that I did not do. In regards to the State's plea bargain pertaining to a charge that I was not guilty of, it would be a "lie" before God if I excepted their offer. However, I am guilty of becoming weak during Mr. Lewis's representation. I told him to except the DA's offer which amounted to almost a year in County Jail. On at least 2 occassions, I asked Mr. Lewis if he had heard anything pertaining to the matter. He said that the DA had not yet contacted me and reassured me that the offer of exceptance was on his desk. Eventually, Mr. Lewis was removed as my attorney. While attorney Brent Dornburg was representing me, the same said misdemeanor charge was changed to 3 felony offenses. I asked Mr. Dornburg to check on the offer that Mr. Lewis was supposed to have on the DA's desk. When Mr. Lewis finally responded to Mr. Dornburg, he stated that I never agreed to except any plea bargain. However, I knew that this young man could not be trusted; therefore, I kept records during our association. On 7-19-12, I took such a record before Brent Dornburg. The record consisted of a "motion" that I presented before the "Weiser Court" which explained that I had told Mr. Lewis to except the DA's plea bargain agreement. The motion made it crystal clear that me and Mr. Lewis did not see "eye to eye." The motion made it crystal clear that I had excepted the plea bargain and wanted no discrepancies concerning the matter. What is a lie? As a minister, I have often taught that a lie is when you intentionally deceive or try to deceive someone. Mr. Lee Lewis deceived me, the Court, and Mr. Dornburg. [ the motion was filed in Victoria County Court, State of Texas vs Frederick O. Scott, cause no. 2-98092, filed on or about 10-7-11 ]. At present, I have Mr. Lewis's behavior before the STATE BAR OF TEXAS. Minister Scott, B.A. University of North Texas
