Ahh I see. Nah not in this case - remember, Avon’s crew was smart (Bird was part of Avon’s crew), but even characters like this were just street smart, not “regular smart”. They couldn’t turn their Ebonics off or behave properly in court (like Omar does, and that’s because Omar truly is like a poet/philosopher due to his life circumstances and growing up gay where being gay is a death sentence).

That’s why they always hired that Jewish attorney to speak on their behalf. He had a rep for being vicious, making the other side look guilty and his clients innocent, and was in the pocket of any major gang and was rich because of this.

After Avon’s time, Marlo’s group came around and they weren’t as smart, but more violent. They always shut up and let the Jewish lawyer (who bounced from rich drug dealing gang to gang), again, so the speaking for them.

If you knew nothing but the street life, hustle, showing your teeth and barking when someone tested you, shot someone when they tested you, speak nothing but Ebonics, for real, how is speaking in front of a mostly white jury going to help?

In these cases, that evil, greedy Jewish lawyer who was a problem for the police and local government, was used as a middle man to communicate between the gangsters and the law.

Edit: each season was constructed to show you why our society fails, from the bottom up, with season 1 starting with just police and corner boys, to seasons 2, 3, 4 and 5 showing how the drugs corner boys deal are imported into cities (along with human trafficking), then police politics, local politics, how those reach big government politics, and how the schoo system harms children to “juke the stats” just like the police do, further harming the community and ruining children.

It’s a self-feeding cycle of negativity on a small scale that’s being revealed. And this is how America functions.
