Ok here is the quetsion and facts of the hypothetical case.
1. I was accused of a crime
2.Told lawyer I was guilty of XYZ..
3.Never charged with crime xyz. but charged with other crime relating to xyz.
4.Got new lawyer.
5.Told him Nothing about crime XYZ.
Now during the trial for the other charge,Xyz will come up as a matter of time and place. note: old lawyer may be in courtroom at trial but not for me.
Questions:
1. Should I tell new lawyer about xyz.
2. Will old lawyer be obligated to tell anybody about the confession of xyz?
3.Since lawyer "one" knowes I will be lying about xyz. Is he obligated to do anything even though he dosent represent me.
