She learn that neato legal maneuver at Harvard or Yale?
Could be. Back in the 70’s radical James Kunen wrote a op ed that addressed why he wanted to represent violent criminals. He wrote the theoretical reason was that the defendants were poor and disadvantaged and deserved the best counsel available. But Kunen mused that maybe he just identified with the violent criminals and wanted to get them sprung because he wanted them to hurt more people as revenge on whitey culture. I believe it is a true attitude of many criminal defense types.
