His lawyer can go eat a cock.
The defense attorney is doing their job. It can be ugly. But it's so important.
Our legal system was built in the principal, that it's better for the guilty to go free, than for the innocent to be punished.
The defense attorney is the hero in our system. They protect us from the police and prosecutors locking just anyone up out of laziness, vindictiveness, zealotry, or just apathy.
While it's perfectly reasonable to defend the importance of lawyers and a defendant's right to a representation and a fair trial, arguing that he "might have lost control" isn't a defence, it's a lie. Telling a liar to get fucked is a reasonable position to take.
"Might have". It's an alternate explanation that's plausible.
We don't know it's a lie. We only read an article. We weren't there.
If that's not what happened, it's the prosecutions job to prove it in court.
As again "It's better for the guilty to go free, than the innocent be punished."
Yeah well, if cops and the prosecutor are allowed to do it then so can the defense attorney. Like homie said, it's messy and you may not like it but this is the system they operate in.
someone tell that to the kripsy gnome, or whatever her name is..and the trump administration..
They're currently at the top of a long list that needs to be reminded of that.
