I can sure understand how people can and do feel indignant when someone who truly is guilty is defended by an attorney. Once upon a time, I felt that way too until after sitting in on a capitol murder trial at the federal level. That was one of the most educational experiences I’ve ever had despite the circumstances.
The judge took every precaution on behalf of the defendant...which at the time I resented and was outraged by. However, in doing so, he prevented that case from being lost on appeal. Every possible constitutional protection was strictly adhered to so when the case eventually wound up at the United States Supreme Court, even they said...nope. No appeal.
These men were indigent and in fact were prison escapees, yet they received a world class multimillion dollar defense. And I’m VERY glad they did!
It would have been horrid and traumatic to go through all of that only to loose at any stage of the appeals process. So, when someone receives that kind of red carpet treatment and they are found guilty, they are guilty indeed! No more questions on that case.
And, I agree with the rest..the other criticism is amply justified.
When a defense lawyer builds their case on LYING that is no great system of justice. These games and the defense attorneys that go for lying and slandering victims are the most evil.
