Aren't all defense attorneys liberals? 'Nuff said.
I have enjoyed reading your posts on this topic. And, there was a time that I was a true believer in the justice system. Then I was terribly disillusioned by defense attorneys, then judges, and now have become disillusioned with prosecuting attorneys as well. To me, this seems related to a greater societal problem in that people in the employ (in one way or the other) of the public have forgotten that they are in that position to SERVE the public, not their own personal agendas. And, given that, I cannot automatically assume that a prosecutor who stamps his little feet about a guilty person is stamping his feet for true justice and not just stamping to get his own way. Maybe that makes me a cynic of the highest order. I don't know and frankly am not too concerned about that. :)
