Most ADA’s, DA’s, and AG’s are political animals consumed with resume-building and acquiring power. They couldn’t care less for “justice” - yet are SJW’s to the nth degree.
I'm a defense lawyer. A lot of what you say is correct. Oddly enough, where I live, the top defense lawyers are reliably conservative.
Are most of my clients guilty of "something"? Yes.
Are all of my clients always guilty of something? No.
Do prosecutors ridiculously overcharge in order to pretty much force a plea? Yes. Do I believe in the 4th Amendment? Absolutely.
Do most prosecutors or judges believe in the 4th Amendment? Get arrested on a bogus search, then call me.
The defense lawyer exists to make the government do it's job, nothing more, nothing less. If we aren't here to stand in their way, who is going to defend YOU when they decide it's your turn to get hauled into the system?
Do I defend some shady and awful folks? Sure. They have a right to a defense under the Constitution. If the government has a case and proves it, then that person will go to prison. I have no problem with that.
Most law enforcement professionals and prosecutors are honorable folks doing their jobs--the majority of the time, they are in the right, but not ALL of the time. It's my job to ferret out the times they make mistakes or file bogus charges. I enjoy that, and ultimately the state doesn't get upset dismissing a questionable case. If you can't convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt of a person's guilt, then you need to dismiss, plain and simple.
I know a lot of people around here hate defense lawyers, but I promise we'll be here for you if you ever need us--although I think FR is largely populated with law abiding folk who wouldn't even get themselves into situations where they run afoul the law. : )
Hear, hear! Prosecutors are looking for notches in their belts. To hell with justice.
