Maybe, if a movie is made, Mohamed Jawad, and those who agreed to work on his case pro bono, or at reduced rates, could be listed as consultants, and see a share if the film makes a profit. One of the other lawyers, a public defender from the mid-west, and a former police officer, made his own trip to Afghanistan, to look for witnesses. I think that was circa 2006. He was given the big stall, had waited a year or so, without getting permission to visit his clients. So he made his own way to Afghanistan, at his own expense. It was probably a sign of the weaknesses of the evidence against his clients -- he received an email telling him both of his clients had been scheduled for release, upon his return to the USA.
