It's common for co-conspirators to get different lawyers.  It usually increases the abilities of all if the defense teams collaborate. Louis also has an aggressive trial attorney who is from out of state that doesn't need to play nice because he's not a regular participant in This court. Seems to make sense.  The assistant AGs probably have a lot of evidence, and the Kealohas know the arena they're in.  Nor are they ready to take this to the mat and roll the dice.  IMHO, the question will be what deal can they get and how late in the litigation process will they cut it.  Good thing for the Kealohas that Louis got the big payout from C&C.  It'll pay for the lawyers.  May lose the house though, but they can make it back, just no early retirement.

Now onto the next police scandal because the corruption that allows it to continue is nowhere near being addressed.
