I wish those lawyers watched films of how he murdered that child. Had to watch them. Along with LEO’s who shoot dogs lawyers that defend these people belong in the same sewer. Sorry for the rant but every time I read where lawyers defend these killers just riles me up big time!!
What makes you think the lawyers didn’t watch films of how he raped and murdered that little girl?
What makes you think they didn’t enjoy every minute and ask for a “copy to study” in private?
I fully understand exactly how you feel.
Several years ago I had to attend a death penalty trial at the federal level. When the defense lawyer (a big name liberal) introduced himself to me, I had but one question for him.
“Why are you defending him?”
His answer? “It’s a job’’.
With that answer, I knew he was going to loose the trial. And he did. The death penalty was given as sentence.
As things progressed, and the normal course of appeals took place, I was very glad that the perp had a first class defense. It left him absolutely ZERO wiggle room in those appeals.
I’m an old fashioned gal. I firmly believe in innocent until proven guilty BEYOND reasonable doubt. If I were unjustly accused, you can bet your bottom dollar I’d hope for a really good lawyer. While unjust accusations don’t occur (well, didn’t used to anyway) often, they DO happen. Innocent people don’t belong in prison, and they don’t belong on death row either.
After experiencing that trial, I came out with a new found appreciation for juries, and for lawyers..both prosecution and defense. In ‘’our’’ case, each team was honorable, and justice was served. On a silver platter even.
Mickey Mouse courts and lawyers are disgusting.
Unfortunately, they exist, too.
Too many of them.
even in the most egregious cases, the accused deserves legal counsel, if for no other reason than to ensure that he receives a fair trial....we can have it no other way
