No offense, really, but you seem to have an inflated idea of how much even "good" defense attorneys can achieve with a guilty client.

You sure about that?

Sorry, my statement refers to the celebrity factor, not the richness-of-the-client factor. Lots of people with lots of money and "good" defense lawyers get convicted. Granted, it's harder, but it's mostly accomplished. Generally, most of the time -- leaving out anomalies like black celebrities in California -- a defense attorney is going to lose.

As I recall, you were talking about Peterson. You seriously think it was his attorney's fault? If so, stay tuned for Scotty's standard-defendant's post-conviction motion alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Care to bet whether he succeeds?
