"C-Murder" is not a good street name to have in a murder trial.

Many of my clients have street names. My favorite so far was Batman. He brought several witnesses to court and not one of them knew his actual name. They knew him very well but every single one of them knew him as Batman. I spent a good ten minutes making sure they all knew "John's" name before we went in to trial. It must have worked - a not guilty verdict followed.
