Fake Lawyer Wins 26-Straight Cases Before Being Caught And Arrested

A man posing as a lawyer won 26 cases in a row before eventually being caught and arrested.

Kenyan authorities arrested "Brian Mwenda" last week after reports began coming in that Mwenda never passed a bar exam and allegedly had no legal qualifications whatsoever to argue cases.

If that wasn't enough, it turns out that Brian wasn't even Brian - he stole the identity of a REAL lawyer. Yes, that's right my man went straight up Joe Pesci as Vinny Gambini in My Cousin Vinny.

MWENDA GETTING SUPPORT FROM THE PEOPLE

Honestly I have to give props to this guy. (I have to call him 'guy' because we don't know his actual real name)

Kenya's one of the poorest countries in the world with the top 1% of Kenyans making the equivalent of $20,000 annually. This guy was like "the heck with this," and wanted to break free from being stuck in poverty his whole entire life by not only getting a job but helping others.

Seems like if I'm someone in the Kenyan government I would want this guy to be used as a positive example to others instead of being arrested and held in prison (Mwenda has since posted bail and is awaiting his court hearing). In fact, Mwenda told reporters that he eventually could see himself running for some sort of Kenyan political office.

Who cares if he stole a real lawyer's name - I'm sure his now-free clients don't care if his name was "Seymore Butts" - they're just happy someone gave enough of a damn to fight for them!

Mwenda's undefeated winning record also shows just how screwed up the legal system is. If this guy can go in there and poke holes and maneuver the system, maybe there's something wrong with the actual system. It's like when you or I sit back and read about a ruling that just doesn't make sense - and there are plenty, sometimes we just want to scream and say "FIX IT!"

For now, Mwenda will await his own upcoming trial. The good news? He'll be able to represent himself.
