Its often said that jailed defendants have a little too much time on their hands.  Here is a prime example.  This defendant was convicted of trying to kill his wife.  He seems to have used poor workmen.  One would be killer was arrested for tresspass; one had a battle with the wife, but agreed to leave after a little discussion.  Both testified against the defendant. 

"Donald Millard – convicted last year of hiring two assassins to attempt killing his ex-wife – is suing his attorneys for losing at trial. Millard’s suit does more than allege that Salt Lake City attorneys Walter Bugden and Tara Isaacson did a poor job of defending him. Millard – who is serving five years to life at the Utah State Prison – claims breach of contract, contending Bugden and Isaacson had all but promised him an acquittal.

They allegedly told Millard his case "would be an easy one to win," according to the lawsuit, filed last week in West Jordan’s 3rd District Court.
Millard’s current attorney, David Drake, said Monday, "I’m appalled at what I’ve seen in this case."
Drake said the court records and trial transcripts show that Bugden and Isaacson failed to investigate several legal avenues, failed to obtain records rebutting the stated motive for the crime and failed to impeach witnesses.
Millard wants to be repaid the $137,000 in fees he paid to Bugden and Isaacson, as well as $100,00 in punitive damages. "
