But the jury did not buy his arguments. He did not get the creep off. The San Diego DA Pfingst is a weasel and deserves to be retired. The lawyers did their jobs properly. The DA had a better case so he won. Much more credible too.
So by your logic the murder of Samantha Runnion by Avila was a tribute to justice, because Avila's attorney got him off on the child molestation charge less than a year earlier.
After all, the defense attorney had the better argument, so all's well that end's well--even if that end is a child brutally assaulted and murdered, her body left for the buzzards.
What a bizarre way of thinking. No wonder so many people today believe there is no justice.
Whether the jury bought his arguments is irrelevant. The lawyers STILL violated the standards code. Winning and losing has nothing to do with it. But just imagine if they DID win. A confessed child killer would be walking the streets.
