Well, God Bless America! Attorneys are allowed to lie to the jury without adverse repercussion on their clients (whom they ARE supposedly acting on behalf of and under their direction).

Yes, that's right, the jury is only allowed to consider the EVIDENCE, and what the attorneys do in putting on the case is not EVIDENCE. Clients don't control how the attorney presents his case, and it would not be proper for a client to attempt to do so.

Including lying about the nature of that evidence. No wonder the justice system is so completely hosed.

Wow. I ought to be a jury. Get paid good money and do what I bloody well want without that pesky client trying to tell what to do.
