Maggie Rudin Was Accused of Murdering Her Millionaire 4th Husband

Maggie Rudin was accused of murdering her millionaire 4th husband. Because she was denied access to her husband's money, Rudin needed a pro bono lawyer. Attorney Amador agreed to take the case pro bono in exchange for the right to turn her story into a movie script. Rudin agreed. Each time Rudin met with Amador, Amador made sure the t.v. news media was there so that the public would get a picture of her as the wrongly accused grieving widow. Amador did not interview witnesses, but had all of the documents copied and placed into trial notebooks. Before trial, Amador took a month-long vacation and left Rudin's case with the public defender assisting on the case. Which of the following can be said of Amador?

A) Amador was negligent in the preparation of Rudin's defense only if she is convicted.
B) Amador was not negligent because everyone prepares for trial differently.
C) Amador was negligent in the preparation of Rudin's defense if his action/inaction fell below the standard of care of the reasonable lawyer under the circumstances
D) Amador was not negligent because he was part of a defense team and the rest of the team had an equal obligation to prepare for trial.
