[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She did her job, and did it well. I'm no fan of Clinton, but I am a huge supporter of defense lawyers, who are supposed to make sure that prosecutors really do prove their cases beyond a reasonable doubt.[/quote]

+1000.  People on here seem to have a gross misunderstanding of what criminal defense attorneys do.  Even if Clinton actually knew her client was guilty, she still had a duty to zealously represent him. [/quote]

People understand that. They also understand that, if in Hillary's shoes, they would rather quit than destroy a 12 year old rape victim. [/quote]

Clinton didn't destroy a 12 year old rape victim. She got the case plea bargained because the State threw away the evidence. Frankly, I hadn't looked into this before and was just accepting the repeated claims that Clinton did something atrocious. My view is that none of the Clintons take prisoners and this would just be one more example. But, now that I've looked into it a bit, I see that the anti-Clinton case is very misleading. Clinton absolutely did nothing wrong in this case.

I would add that she was only working on this case because she was appointed to. She did not want to. But she was appointed because it was a legal aid case and she started the first legal aid clinic in the state of Arkansas. [/quote]

That is not what the article says, nor what she says in the tape. 
She says she took the case because another attorney asked her to because the defendant wanted a woman lawyer.  Doesn’t sound like she was “appointed to” it at all.  [/quote]

The other attorney was the prosecutor of the case. Once she agreed to take it, the Court appointed her.
[/quote]

So, then, she agreed to do it.  To give the impression that she didn’t have a choice is not accurate.  [/quote]
