[Publius]

Oh dear. Kevin. I had dinner with him on St. Simons Island and some others after a Tea Party meeting last year. He once had an important position in the Glynn County Republican Party but was voted out.

I tried my Publius shtick on him, discussing American history, and found that there was so much he didn't know.

He's just trying to defend an indefensible client. He's doing his duty, but his duty grates on me.

Sigh. He needs to jealously represent the interests of his client. That's his job, and it's a critical one.

I've no idea how a man can do that in this situation, though, and still look at himself in a mirror in the morning. Maybe disassociate himself from it, look at it as a theoretical exercise rather than a real world one?

“He’s doing his duty...”

His duty? How so? Is a defense attorney’s duty to get the client off or to see that the client has a fair trial under the law? If the former, how did that come to be and where does it say so?
