[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I also think that Clinton[b] ruefully laughed [/b]when, in later describing this travesty of a case to an interviewer, she said that her client even passed a lie detector test which made her doubt the accuracy of such tests for the rest of her career[/quote]

Ruefully laughed? Have you listened to the tape.  No regret at all in her laugh--maybe a tad of embarrassment that she was so diabolical in her defense of a man that she was pretty sure had done a horrible thing.  [/quote]
Exactly.[/quote]

A lawyer is ethically obligated to do what's best for THEIR CLIENT, not society.  Clinton did not have a choice.  If she had thrown the case people would have assailed her for the rest of her career for being unprofessional.[/quote]

She could have declined to take the case. [/quote]

But if every good lawyer does that, we wouldn't have much of a justice system. If you are guilty before you are tried in a court it all falls apart.

Ethics just don't work like that. A lawyer, physician, whoever can't just cherry pick who they want to defend or treat. [/quote]

A doctor doesn't have to take anyone.  In fact, an "Elaine" happened to my friend b/c she, too, was difficult.  in the ER - well, another story

However, in this case, while Clinton asked to be removed from the case, I'm sure she tried her hardest to get him the most lenient sentence possible.  And guess what?

I would decline.  sorry - But defending a man who raped a child and ruined her life is [b]something I would never do.  Fire me. [/b] She was 12. [/quote]

How easy it is to say when it's not your career and bread on the line. [/quote]

It wouldn't just be firing. It would be disbarment and possibly contempt of court for defying a judicial order. You have no idea what you're talking about. [/quote]

I realize that.  In most jobs, if you say no, you're insubordinate and risk being let go.

sorry - no way would I agree to that

I have two children, an 8 yo boy and a 12 yo girl.

Again, I'd like to see any of you stand up for her if something happened to your own child.  I know of what I speak.  You, however, have failed to put yourself in the girl''s mother's shoes.

You really don't know what you would do PP until faced with the situation and the subsequent consequences. Do you not think criminal defense attorneys also have children. [/quote]
