but I propose that it had little to do with Phoenix himself and more to do with Zak denying Kristoph the opportunity to take such a high profile case.
It had to do with Zak and Kristoph himself; Zak because he denied a high-profile case and Kristoph for being infuriated because a "third-rate" attorney got the job instead of a renown lawyer such as he.

It didn't matter if it was Phoenix or if it were some other attorney.
It
did matter it was Wright. In Krissy's eyes, Nick was a poor attorney, unlike him:
the Coolest Defense. However, if it was someone on the same level or below our hero, I guess things would have happened like they did, but what if it were an attorney by the same level or above Kristoph? I think Gavin would have accepted the reality that his
to-be client didn't choose him because he cheated in a game of poker.

However, after the trial, Kristoph was the only one who voted against taking Phoenix's badge away. Why was that?
I think it was because he wanted to be close to Wright. Maybe because he stayed with Zak's daughter? He was a media bomb, so news of Trucy taken under Nick's wing would be a nice scoop, and those papers would have to be processed and stored in a governmental agency, so Kristoph could have pulled some strings to see what happened with Zak's daughter, knowing that, one day, he would make some sort of contact with him or her and that could be his opportunity to correctly enact his revenge (seeing as how Zak didn't suffer a thing).
Quote:
Kristoph felt a certain kinship.
He didn't feel a thing from accidentally killing Drew, why would he feel from disbarring an attorney? The same "third-rate" attorney that was chosen over him?
Quote:
Phoenix was simply a lawyer doing his duty who happened to be dealt a harsh hand (by Kristoph himself of course), so he may have felt sorry for Phoenix.
I repeat: In Krissy's eyes, Nick was a third-rate lawyer, meaning he was below him. Gavin's the
law is absolute type of hypocritical character. He didn't want his courts
tarnished by commons such as the Jurists, so he could have meant the same for Wright;
he didn't want a third-rate defense attorney taking over a high-profile case such as State Vs. Zak Gramarye.
Quote:
Kristoph himself knew that Phoenix had no prior knowledge of that page's existence or the fact that it would've been forged, so perhaps he felt somewhat guilty for dragging this poor man down for the sake of his petty grudge against Zak.
That was the idea; Wright not knowing a thing. The day before the trial, Kristoph confronted his brother in his office, saying that the attorney he would face didn't have good intentions or something along those lines. He prepared the special witness Klavier was to present to hurt Nick. Why would he feel bad after planning to severely "punish" Phoenix? Kristoph's en egocentric; if he can't have it, then no one will. If he couldn't have the State Vs. Zak case, then Phoenix also wouldn't (and by God's will not someone as third-rate as him in Gavin's eyes).
Let's review:
+ Zak wanted a lawyer based on a game of poker.
+ Kristoph played and lost because he cheated.
+ Nick played and won, Zak chooses him.
+ Wright went to Gavin's office to collect the evidence, he sees who Zak chooses and is infuriated.
+ Krissy plans a revenge to disbar that third-rate that was chosen over him and to incarcerate Gramarye.
+ He tells Trucy to give her father's attorney a piece of evidence, he presents it, Klavier calls the special witness under his brother's instructions, Phoenix's credibility is damaged, his badge taken and, who was supposed to be declared guilty, runs away (the only hole in Kristoph's plan).
