[I]hey eventually go for the weak, the orphaned, the defenseless.

Oh, I don't think so. When Westerfield has been duly punished and his unethical lawyer sanctioned, I think the crowd will be satisfied. The weak, the orphaned, and the defenseless will be safe. Sadly, little Danielle fit two of those criteria, and she wasn't safe. And it had nothing to do with a mob.

Hanging around defense attorneys and prosecutors can be very educational, there are plenty of real dirty players on both sides of the aisle.

I bet that's right!

We are waiting for someone to actually specify the ethical violation - a real one, not a made-up one.

I hadn't forgotten it, as I was very pleased to see him convicted and sentenced to death. My problem is that I think O'Reilly is out of line attacking his counsel and that O'Reilly was out of line when he attacked another defense counsel in the Avila case.

"Evidently slander is all the tools of debate in your toolbag as well."

So, sue me.

FYI, its not slander if a statement is made WITH DUE CAUSE. But then again, you know this already, right? Guess you forgot.

You have no "DUE CAUSE" ( ROFL ) to accuse me of being Feldman or his agent. Its an invention of your mind. Now try to post something that mimics an intelligent comment.

>>>The system is to protect the INNOCENT. I don't give a **** about whether the GUILTY get representation or not.<<<

A trial before a trial to prove guilt perhaps?

You're more savvy than that Kevin! I agree Danielle fit two of those criteria -- but she was undefended in her own home, in Sabre Swings, now, wasn't she? Yes some poor children have been snatched from a loving parent's arms, but in Danielle's case ... well her parents were just do busy spreading so much love around that for all practical purposes Danielle was left to the wolf that night.

Defenseless, weak and for practical puposes an orphan.

Ok, you're wrong, a fool, and arguing while mentally unarmed.

How about if we specify a child kidnapping and murder? A real one, not a made up one.

We now know what the defense lawyer knew all along. We know who did it. Yet Feldman willfully, knowingly, and viciously slandered and falsely accused many innocent people, suggesting they kidnapped and killed little Danielle. He slandered Westerfield's own son and accused him of downloading kiddie porn.

You might find such wholesale serial slander ethical. I do not.

I don't defend her scum-bucket parents, either. But their gross failings didn't give Westerfield license to kidnap and murder a child.

Did you hear OJ's first lawyer 'all but' admit he knew OJ did it. That's why he wouldn't represent him.

Got that right it's all about winning for far too many of these people. Just another notch on their belts to satisify their big self important egos.

If Westerfield did it. I don't count that media enflamed and impartiality corrupting venue in San Diego an honest finding of fact.

That's right. As happened here, there were reports that he was exploring a deal when Cochran and Bailey came in and killed it. He effectively withdrew, never twisted the truth or evidence.

He, alone among OJ's lawyers, gained my admiration for his ethical stance.

I think I've discovered your problem.

We now know what the defense lawyer knew all along.

"Reason to suspect" is not the same as "know." There is NO evidence, even anecdotal, to establish that Westerfield ever told his defense team that he committed the murder of which he has now been convicted. No detective is even stepping up to the plate to take responsibility for the report that Westerfield even volunteered the location of the body (which he could logically have known without having personally committed the murder).
