Andres Esquivel’s attorney quits – calls Andy’s actions “repugnant”

Posted on February 8, 2013 in Andy Esquivel's Scams Andy's Threats Andy's Videos Trial Updates Xtagged

Andres “Andy” Esquivel’s public defender filed a motion with the second district court of Davis County on Wednesday formally requesting to be released from the case.  In the filing Mr. Albright described Andy’s actions as “repugnant” and stated that the attorney client relationship had been “irreparably damaged” by Andy’s pretrial activity.  This is EXACTLY what we stated would be the reason for Albright’s departure when we first learned about it from the court last week.  The trouble with Andy, besides the fact that he’s a pathological lying sociopath, a dead-beat dad, and a convicted felon, is the fact that he doesn’t know when to shut up!  This is the SECOND attorney that Andy has driven away by his psychosis and if he is not careful he will end up having to represent himself in this case because no competent attorney will represent him.  Albright has nominated conflict attorney Julie George to represent Andy for the duration of the trial.

The memorandum filed with the court on Wednesday states the following:

Utah Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 1.16 (b) (4) states that where representation has commenced, the lawyer shall withdraw from the representation of a client if “the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant or with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement”.

1. Mr. Esquivel has recorded conversations I have had with him.  His recordings include conversations taken place at the courthouse, on the telephone, text messages and include conversations defendant had with my investigator Carl Hurst.
2. Most, if not all, of these conversations and text messages have been posted on the internet.  These conversations have also been sent to news outlets, reporters, business associates of Mr. Esquivel and to the case prosecutor, Nathan Lyon.
3. One of Mr. Esquivel’s associates is Allen Brady.  On the 16th of January Mr. Brady called me and set up a meeting with Mr. Esquivel, Mr. hurst, and myself.  Mr. Esquivel did not show up, but Mr. Brady did.
4. Two days after we met with Mr. Brady, Mr. Esquivel posted on the internet under the subject heading “Why was Allen Brady threatened” (a copy of what was posted is attached).  Mr. Esquivel states that we threatened Mr. Brady not to testify.
5. Later on page 2, Mr. Esquivel talks about a video he has whereby I talk to him about the evidence of the case.

Conclusion:

I have found the actions of Mr. Esquivel repugnant and obviously have a fundamental disagreement with him recording attorney client conversations and posting them on the internet and specifically sending them to news outlets, reporters, and the prosecutor in the case.  Because of the above actions the attorney-client relationship has been irreparably damaged to the point that counsel can no longer provide effective assistance.

Mr. Albright then attached a psychotic, rambling email from Andy in which he goes on and on about Allen Brady testifying and about the $100,000 he stole from Melissa Garr.  The email states:

Mr. hurst all my witnesses, you know the ones you guys have not called, have spoken with Allen Brady the man that was called to Bountiful 01/17/13 and threatened not to testify & you guys can’t tell Allen to stop recording especially in Bountiful where they attacked us!  All Xtagged owners have asked for my attorneys phone number provided in this video for Xtagged owners & media ONLY that’s why the video is unlisted: http://youtu.be/t4S4WDr2PDg

but most Xtagged owners say they are writing letters to judge Connors including Allen Brady.  I asked them to wait until I have my meeting with you & Albright over Skype this coming week!

Every time Holje or Albright have presented so called evidence I shot it DOWN!  I recorded Brian Davis laugh about $100,000 he had and Melissa Garr supposedly gave me listen to my attorney http://youtu.be/t4S4WDr2PDg

FYI- the new so called evidence you hear public defender talk about in video above was also shot down call Allen Brady asap he has all details.  Ryion’s checks prove he scammed Logan Laws look http://youtu.be/-iGbB11Sdt8

So Andy and his brainless accomplice Allen Brady have done it again.  No doubt Andy’s first attorney Michael Holje resigned the case for similar reasons.  We’ve seen in emails provided by Andy Esquivel himself that Michael Holje was concerned about evidence that he stole $100,000 from Melissa Garr, and it’s clear that this evidence is damning enough to rattle Andy into driving away another lawyer!  Obviously there is some truth to Ms. Garr’s allegations if Andy continues to go completely insane every time the question is raised by his own attorneys.

Why is Allen Brady still so involved in these proceedings anyway?  Doesn’t he realize after all this time that he isn’t helping Andy in the least?  Everything he’s done to try to help Andy in this case has only made things worse!  He began by claiming against all reason that Ryion Butcher and I would be facing eminent jail time in this case (in which we’re not even defendants), bragged that the case was being moved to Colorado for some reason, spent thousands of dollars he didn’t have paying for an attorney who subsequently quit because he realized Andy was guilty, and now has so inflamed tensions between Andy and his public defender that Andy is left without legal representation in a felony fraud case that could carry up to 25 years in prison for Andy if he’s convicted!  If ever a brainless monkey walked the Earth in the clothes of a human being it must be Allen Brady…the man has the intellectual capacity of a grape!

To say the least, Tuesday’s pre-trial hearing should be interesting.  The court will appoint Andy a new public defender and that attorney must figure out a way to keep her client under wraps until trial.  She also needs to put Allen Brady in his place and convince the Judge that Andy Esquivel is mentally competent to stand trial…whew!  Talk about having your work cut out for you.

Good luck with that Julie.  Personally I think you should file a gag order against Andy and enter a GUILTY plea on his behalf.  I don’t know how Andy would pay restitution to his victims, but at least he’d be out of everybody’s hair for a little while.
