By Meagan Flynn Meagan Flynn Morning Mix reporter Email Bio Follow March 28 at 6:46 AM Rashad James could think of nothing that would explain why a Harford County, Md., deputy suspected he was impersonating an attorney, at least other than his skin color.
James, reserved and prone to brevity, took a moment before simply saying, “The facts of the situation speak for themselves.” “This is another instance of a suspicion and second guessing that attaches to black men,” Crawford said at the news conference. “This is a place where lawyers are supposed to be confident advocates for their clients. And how can you do that if there is a fear that you are going to be accused of being the client impersonating the lawyer or perpetrating a fraud on the court?”
On the morning of March 6, James says he strolled into Harford County District Court in Bel Air, Md., to argue before a judge that his client’s case should be expunged. His client was a no-show, he told the judge; James didn’t know, according to the complaint, that there was a warrant out for his client’s arrest. But the hearing moved forward anyway, and the judge granted James’s motion.
James informed the deputy that, in fact, he was the man’s attorney. The deputy asked to see his ID, and James offered a driver’s license.The deputy gave it back and asked James to follow him to an interview room in the courthouse, the complaint says. There, James’s attorneys say the deputy asked him to produce his state bar identification and a business card. Neither are required to enter a courtroom, James said, and he did not have either on him.
