**Mark Dwyer** is a criminal defense attorney who briefly served as [[tim]]'s court-appointed counsel during his [[trial|murder trial]]. 

===== History =====
Tim Heidecker stood trial for the deaths of [[electricsun20|20 teenagers]] at the [[esdmf]] in 2018. Dwyer was appointed to be Tim's defense attorney. 

Tim fired Dwyer on the first day of the trial, choosing to self-represent.

Sometime after the trial, Dwyer began working with the Delgado family. The Delgados began taking away Tim's intellectual properties, including [[dekkar]], [[decker]], and even [[oncinema|On Cinema]] itself. Tim became despondent after the legal battles drained him both financially and emotionally, and contemplated taking his own life by jumping off of the 6th Street Bridge. However, at the last moment, he called Dwyer and gave him an hour to make a deal. Fifty-six minutes later, Dwyer called Tim back and informed him he convinced the Delgados to allow Tim 30 days to turn //On Cinema// into a quality product, quite literally talking Tim off the ledge.

Dwyer was instrumental in the founding of [[delgadomedia]], a company created by the Delgados to manage the intellectual properties acquired from Tim, including //On Cinema//. Dwyer called [[gregg]] sometime before the events of [[s10e08|S10E08]] and discussed the new company with him and Bruce Delgado. Gregg was given increased creative control over //On Cinema//, and although Tim would remain host, the show was to feature more movie reviews and [[popcornclassics]] selections moving forward.
