Holy poo poo Carole do you not recognize MAJOR red flags when you see them?

Oh wait, based on the Loomis and Kingpin storylines, the answer is no!

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?

insanely curious as to how Peter stopping an ex-boxer mugger, who gets sent to jail with Daredevil as his attorney, DD who can detect lies and thus know the dude's bad, will somehow spin into a full storyline where Peter has to fight him once or twice more.

Not even mentioning the fact Spidey already handled this guy's rear end into a trash can, he also just got put down by two random jail officers? The Kingpin would have put up a fight at least. Yet, this Voltan guy still seems way too full of himself? Oh boy.

No wonder the spider sense is no good. If it goes off every time some crook curses Spidey's name I would learn to ignore it too.

I hope Voltan never manages to get out, just constantly running headfirst into escape attempts and being easily subdued by guards, continually vowing revenge on Spider-Man but never seeing him again. Getting even angrier when he admits he can't even be entirely sure the guy who beat his rear end actually was Spider-Man.....

Voltan has a point though, his own lawyer can't call him a liar. I mean, it's probably best not to lie to a lawyer representing you, because you have attorney client privilege and him knowing the facts can help him better defend you, but if you maintain you were innocent your lawyer can't just go "Nah you totally did it."

Murdock had not agreed to defend him.

That's true, but that's still extremely rude to meet with a potential client and say "I know you did it, just confess." Lawyers should not be assuming potential clients are guilty. Yeah, I know this is Daredevil and he's got superpowers and so he does actually know Voltan is lying, but he still shouldn't just be accusing potential clients of crimes. Voltan did nothing wrong.

He is rude, but at no point does he accuse him of commiting a crime. All he says is that he's not being honest with him about what happened.

Plus, defense attorneys do not solely exist to get clients declared innocent. They also exist to argue for lessened sentences, more lenient treatment, and other things for guilty clients. Voltan could say "I did it, it was stupid, and I regret doing it, also Spider-Man is a threat and/or menace" and Murdock would say

"Well, we can try a guilty plea and see what we can do to- wait, you said Spider-Man, did you actually admit to the crime? Were you held illegally? Were you Mirandized? Did the police have any legal reasoning to hold you beyond 'a guy said you beat him up and also you were webbed up'? Also, are you sure it was Spider-Man?"

"He was wearing pajamas and a ski mask and made no sense-"

"Say no more, I'll take the case."

Notably he just says you're not being honest, tell me the truth, and Voltan attacks him, after which Matt refuses to take the case.

And every time he does, somewhere Peter stops whatever he's doing and says to himself "Everything's fine, so why is my spider-sense tingling?" then shrugs and goes back to whatever he was doing.

That's it! All he needs to do to get Carole back is to dance around while waving his arms at her.

Also bring her a cricket so that she doesn't eat him afterwards.

Defense lawyers exists to serve their clients. If a client wants to declare themselves innocent then the defense lawyer's job is to do that.
