I'm a lawyer. I have defended people who "did it." That's what the Constitution requires. The other criticism of Hillary is amply justified, but I don't agree about this instance.

So you would look to destroy the reputation of a 12 year old girl and in essence put her on trial? That is how you defend as a public defender? In most of the country public defenders cut a deal to reduce jail time not get a scum completely off the hook.

Yes, because most public defenders are overworked and underpaid. Which is why we read every week about someone serving a long prison sentence who is exonerated by DNA evidence.
