"Shipwreckedcrew" is the nom de guerre of attorney William "Bill" Shipley. Beginning in October 2021, Bill represented dozens of defendants charged in connection with January 6.   Working 34 years in federal courts, including 21 years as a DOJ prosecutor, allows Bill to demystify much about a system that takes place largely behind closed doors. His writing offers a practitioner's window — what you learn on your feet in courtrooms across the country through parts of 4 decades.
