The law would have helped them. Mark Lane was the only one with the balls to take them on and maybe Salandria.
Being in a position to lose employment income, then and now due to private life activities, is a very tight vise to be trapped in. As an attorney, Mr Lane didn't need balls, but working for $ 50 to $ 75 per week in those days was very common, although not enough to afford an attorney on your own. And, taking a chance on loosing employment would certainly tighten the vise. As I heard Merle Haggard say, this is a free country as long as you can pay for that freedom. Maybe a paraphrase, but the point is the same. I'm not trying to argue, but reality is what it is, and I have seen some Texas reality.
