History
The corrupt defense attorney of Jolyne who meets with her in the detention center. He brings her various items from her mother, including an amulet from Jotaro containing a piece of an Arrow, which awakens her Stand. After she is transferred to Green Dolphin Street Prison, they meet again and he advises her to plead guilty to the hit-and-run charges, telling her that the judge is a good friend of his and would give her a sentence of 1–2 years if she did so. Jolyne maintains her innocence, but he eventually talks her into the plea bargain. However, at the hearing, the judge sentences her to 15 years instead. The lawyer is revealed to be in the pay of Romeo, and congratulates him for being released free of all charges due to Jolyne pleading guilty.
Later, the lawyer visits the prison to submit paperwork and is witnessed by Jolyne, who is furious from seeing him. The man puts on an act in front of Loccobarocco, saying he didn't become a lawyer for the money and feels ashamed of his insufficient skills for being incapable of lessening Jolyne's punishment. Loccobarocco falls for it and says he's a great lawyer and a noble man, before handing him a letter that Jolyne wrote for him. As he reads the letter in his car and begins to get comfortable, Jolyne uses Stone Free's strings to strangle him, causing him to crash on the freeway. Soon after his death, Jotaro reveals to Jolyne that he had been acting under Johngalli A.'s orders to get her falsely imprisoned, making her an easier target to kill.[1]
