You know there are people on FR that believe being a criminal defense attorney is fundamentally immmoral....

As someone in the legal profession, I always say that everyone hates lawyers until they need one. We're almost guilty till proven innocent in this country.

I am very pro-defense. I think many of these defense haters would start changing their minds with a little education. The Duke lacrosse team case work a lot of people up. There's more Mike Nifongs out there than people think. The good news for the Duke lacrosse team is that they had money and could hire some very good lawyers. Many people can't.

Everyone's entitled to a fair trial. If someone really is guilty, nail him, but not every defendant is guilty.

Almost? Any slight by any figure in any fashion has now become a money machine lawyers to fleece the public. Need a new Escalade...sue for it. We LOATHE these parasites. Sorry if you are one, but if you are, we think you deserve to be urinated on publicly. I understand there are good lawyers defending people...but they are few and far between. If you are, I thank you. Also, if you are, go club a nearby ambulance chaser...we need the help.
