That lawyer is going to have a coronary when they realize how overwhelming the evidence against their client is…

Defense attorneys get paid either way, and no one wins every case, still she may end up being priced out into getting a less experienced public defender on account of the charges alone,

The good ones also often refuse to take cases that are sure to be lost as it looks bad on their records. Any good enough to deal with charges like these won’t be willing to represent her as it would just hurt their career.
She will probably have a cultist as her lawyer. As one of them knew enough law to find and make use of that loophole, and perhaps even had a hand in getting it passed into law in the first place. Their set up with a mole was too elaborate for her to have come up with it.
If not a cultist it would bottom of the barrel that is willing to even try this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, SHE WAS SO AWFUL, THE COP WAS HAPPY SHE WANTED A LAWYER, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Its an open shut case at this point, so the job of the lawyer is to get a plea deal.

Technically, the job of the lawyer is to ensure that proper procedure is followed, which is about all they will be able to do, since she has been identified by others as the ring leader of the group

Not much room for a plea deal when you are the one calling the shots

From context, I feel like “under the pretense” should be “with the intent”, since stealing and manipulating data is exactly what they were doing?

Agreed.

“Pretense” means that you are attempting to make something that is not the case appear true. E.g. “He put on a pretenses of a charitable leader in public, but to his inner circle he was quite contemptuous of the ‘ungrateful louts’ he was conning”

“Intent” is purpose. E.g., “My intent is to turn this languishing company into the best in the business” is declaring a goal to turn the company around.

Of course she is more interested in the conspiracy than the arson charge. The former she didn’t understood how it applied, the latter she remembers (fondly, I bet).
We also don’t quite know what the were planning, which could range from demonstrating outside, disrupting the wedding, or even more arson.

When cops don’t care to ask questions, you know your screwed. And no way she can afford a lawyer able to face of vs a RICO charge. Actually what is he income from? She isn’t just running on saving from the divorce right? If she has to get a public defender, that poor defender will have a heart attack from those charges.
The only thing she can do is plead guilty and hope for mercy.

She’s so delusional and self-righteous, convinced she’s completely in the right, that it wouldn’t surprise me if she adds quite a few Contempt of Court actions to her jail sentence, as she calls the judge(s) in her case stupid for not seeing how “innocent” she is.

As arrogant as she is, she’s probably a celebrity of some sort, gaining money through media appearances. “Go Fund Me”/Kickstarter accounts too wouldn’t be too far-fetched.

Many hate groups fund themselves that way. Too many, to be honest.

Look a lawyer might, on seeing the mountains of evidence, take this case relatively cheaply. After all if no amount of time is going to save the client, then you will be excused for the minimum needed for a plausible defense, plus however long you spend bartering your client into a plea deal.

That is a odd to think about point but yeah its kind of true, most are by the hour, if its this open shut they will just tell you to plead guilty out the gate and not really spend next to any time on it. There won’t even be a difference really of expensive vs public defender. The officers don’t even care to hear a admission, if fact they seem to not want one as that could lighten the sentence, though with rico on the table and the feds rather clearly having robot girls infiltrating them, this won’t be a unbiased trial, may even have media riling to get a example made. Nothing can really help her. Or well Kate maybe, if she thinks it goes to far, but I rather doubt she would, and I Sage must know how much those forced moments but audiences.

I thought Rayne worked with the Black Forest Rangers.

She does, but the Rangers also cooperate with a variety of Alphabet Agencies.

What specific interest the Rangers have in this investigation (other than this being Rayne’s wedding gift to the bride and groom) I don’t think we currently know.

There is the fact that she was planning on attacking the wedding of a Subcontractor to the Rangers (Phil), and presumably there were at least a couple Rangers in attendance. The Rangers would also be considered experts in supernatural threats, and attacks on citizens due to the belief that they are a form of supernatural threat could be stretched to be included in their speciality.
