Defense attorney

"URN"

- It would be a mockery of justice to convict a man of a crime that is impossible to commit.

This defense attorney was Yakone's legal representative during his trial in City Hall for charges of bloodbending. Yakone's lawyer asserted his client's innocence, reminding the Council and those present in the proceeding that Yakone was being tried for a crime that was impossible to commit.

History
In 128 ASC, an underground malefactor named Yakone was tried for his criminal acts upon Republic City and its citizens. The defense attorney was present during the trial as Yakone's legal representative, where he urged the Council to acquit his client from all charges considering that the crime he supposedly committed was impossible.

Despite his efforts, the verdict was delivered by Chairman Sokka following a short deliberation of the Council members, who decided that although it was common belief that bloodbending could only be performed under a full moon, Yakone was one of few "unique benders" who used his outlawed ability to commit crimes in Republic City without the presence of a full moon. He was found guilty of all charges and sentenced to life in prison. Outraged, the defense attorney crumpled a piece of paper and threw it on the ground.

However, before Yakone could be detained, the criminal demonstrated his bloodbending prowess and subdued every person in the courtroom, including the defense attorney. He was knocked unconscious by Yakone along with all of the other individuals present in the trial, shortly before the criminal fled the courtroom.
