First of all, the fact that a plea bargain was offered by the procecuters was reported at the time but was buried by the finding of the body. (I'll be damned if I can find a article about it) I believe it was more in the form of a rumor but this type of plea bargain is normal and not at all unusual. The defense, by law, must present the plea bargain to the defendant who can accept or deny it. This is exactly what they did. They did not have time to do a formal denial because the body was found and the bargain was moot. This is point number one................
Secondly, lawyers do not and never have been required to believe a client is innocent in order to defend them. There are dozens of precedents for this and many supreme court decisions affirming the rights of even guilty defendents to obtain counsel and a advocate lawyer.
This whole arguement is a non-event, a bogus emotional bunch of tripe that has absolutely no chance of going anywhere.
I posted this to you because you seem to be upset by the lawyers advocacy of his client. There are others who feel the same way and I did not single you out for any particular reason. I simply know that you are all wrong.
There is a VAST difference between not knowing the guilt or innocence of your client, and knowing that he has a body to deliver up as a bargaining chip.
Those who can't see that are hopeless.
