The extreme world of YouTuber Lane Myers got a little stranger on Monday as his loyal followers called for a brigading of his own defense council after supporter Illuminate The Dark posted a call to action complaining about Myers’ alleged treatment by defense attorney Mark “the Shark” Resnick.
She posted:
Illuminate The Dark
[Telephone Number Redacted]
Mr Mark Resnick is messing around. He has been telling Lane he’d reach out for 5 DAYS now & NOTHING!
To make everything worse, a motion needs filed TODAY!
If yall want to reach out to Resnick & ask him kindly to reach out to Lane because we are not going to let him drop the ball on this. This is Lanes life & freedom Resnick is messing with.
If Lane was free, we all know the motions would be filed accurately & timely!
Resnick served as Myers’ stand by council last year during his trial for multiple counts of harassing and stalking the wife of a Tucson area prosecutor. Myers demanded his appointment to replace his previous court appointed attorney during the trial.
The attorney has been appointed as Myers’ attorney during both Myers’ attempt to modify the conditions of his probation and the state’s attempts to revoke his probation.
The Illuminate The Dark YouTube account is one of many accounts ran by Myers’ friends that update his status while in jail or repost his content while he’s free. This particular account has effectively replaced Josh Gray’s “This is a Public Service” account as the primary source of Myers news since Gray again was implicated in Myers’ alleged probation violations. Myers has been banned from contacting Gray as part of his probation conditions.
YouTuber Merb34st, who is a licensed attorney in the state of California, took issue with Illuminate The Dark’s calls for call flooding of attorney Resnick, noting that brigading of an already busy attorney would only delay contact with his client further.
No motions were filed on Myers’ behalf as of close of business on Monday.
Myers himself was taken into custody by his probation officer last week for probation violations and spent most of the last week in the Pima County, Arizona, Adult Correction Facility without bond.
His initial appearance hearing was combined with his arraignment on the probation violations on Friday, which upheld the order to keep Myers in jail without bond for the duration of the proceedings.
Minute notes of that hearing obtained by ReallyCoolNews along with a call to the courthouse by our reporter JudyYouGotThis corrected upcoming hearing dates for the Lane Myers Experience:
- July 28, 2026 – Oral arguments for Motion to Modify Probation (2PM)
- August 11, 2026 – Probation Violation Evidence Hearing (9AM-4:30PM)
According to the document, the State has been ordered to provide attorney Resnick with his requested disclosure by July 14, 2026, at 5PM.
The Adult Probation Department has ordered to gather Myers’ files related to the maters by July 17 and to contact Division 16 to arrange for provision of the documents to the Court for an in-camera review.
[Full disclosure: Mr. Myers has both threatened to sue and/or to file an injunction against ReallyCoolNews.
