Can’t blame the lawyer, he’d just end up in jail himself.
Basically, it’s pointless to rely on “courts” in Russia to try to defend Navalny at this point. A rebel-controlled tank before the gates of his jail would be more like it, but that’s not very likely to happen.
> Navalny lawyer flees Russia, leaving opposition leader alone in court
> legal experts expect no change in outcome
They should allow the lawyer to video link Navalnys defence into the court.
