Janoušek's public prosecutor

After Roman Janoušek was detained for hit and run, many people assumed he'd hire big-shot lawyer Tomáš Sokol. It didn't happen, though, and Janoušek is represented by the lesser-known Vít Široký. With his money frozen in Switzerland and his pipeline to city hall disrupted, perhaps Janoušek couldn't afford Sokol's asking price (which is rumored to be in the tens of millions of crowns for such cases). Janoušek might regret not ponying up the cash. Sokol is a key opinion leader in criminal matters, and he spoke to Rádio Česko about the "drastic circumstances" of the accident, involving a "physical attack" by a car. He also said the defense will likely center its case on whether Janoušek caused "grievous" bodily harm, as measured by whether the woman is incapacitated for six weeks. Thanks to Sokol, the public now knows Janoušek has a six-week window for making the victim an offer she can't refuse.
