said by NetAdmin :said by TKJunkMail :Because we all know a defense attorney would never do anything to hide evidence or drag out a case and in general do everything legal or not to deny justice. Do you have proof that the lawyer in this case acted in such a manner or are you just painting every defense lawyer with a mile wide brush? Actually, in my mind, the biggest problem with his statement is at the very end, "do everything legal 'or not'". Any lawyer, defense or otherwise is obligated to follow the law. Prove otherwise. It's that same kind of whisper campaign used on a certain presidential candidate. Make implications without actual charges, and eventually it becomes 'common knowledge', even though it's still a lie. Just like 'all defense lawyers lie to get their client off'. As someone said earlier, 'until YOU need a lawyer to defend you against bogus charges. I would also point out that if the bar for civil evidence was as high as it is for criminal, OJ would have won his civil suit. |
