I smell a libel suit.

It says "BY a lady" not "ABOUT a lady".

OP read a book by somebody OP couldn't get off for a crime they admitted they did.

I read this as he was reading in the vicinity of a lady... then I understood.

Well it's by the lady about the lady

It's called Orange is the New Black :P

You're just assuming that because it's a popular book/show about prison. It's definitely not Orange Is The New Black. The author knew she was guilty and never denied that fact, and her book is about her experience in prison and what she's learned. It isn't her crying about how she's innocent or blaming everyone else like her character in the show often does. Things are exaggerated or made up completely in the show to add interest.

If you listen closely, you can hear the soft "whoosh" of the joke flying straight over your head.

Wow somebody doesn't know jokes when she reads it

#59, I'm gonna steal that remark.

Dude, chill. It was a joke!

OP is the attorney.

The case is over so no need to still deal with her

Good catch, #6. That last minute editing really did wonders for that comment. It's much better now.

#25, I didn't edit it, what are you taking about?

#25 - I swear you are always taking the piss out of people in the comments, but never mind me

I don't think you are of sound mind.....

OP is a lawyer, one of their previous clients has written a book trying to say they are innocent and ended up doing time for fraud. However the client didn't mention in the book that they confessed twice, one of those confessions was in court which would have removed any chance of being innocent. The client is blaming everyone else including OP for their sentence.

No, I think it's just you

@5, That's the way I understood it at first, but I wasn't sure if it made sense. I overthink. Thanks though.
