[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]From what I read, she created a story about the victim (a child)--implying that the child "asked for it"...........it sounded like she went beyond what was necessary for someone that was guilty.  She I=may have had a responsibility to defend the assailant--but she did not have the right to make up a story.[/quote]

The case never went to trial. You don't have the right to make up stories either.

Clinton had a choice to make: herself or this kid. She chose herself. [/quote]

Actually, she chose her client. The correct choice for a lawyer.

For a lawyer with a loose moral code, yes. As you can see in this thread, other professionals would choose a different path. Comes down to character. Clinton's has, at least, been consistently bad. I'll give her points for staying true-to-self. [/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]

No, other professionals said they would take the moral action, which is exactly what she did. This was the morally correct choice. The better physician metaphor is whether you treat a murderer who comes into the ER for life threatening injuries. I would hope most doctors would answer yes.[/quote]

There are very few legal equivalents to a life threatening emergency.  Certainly not this case.  Plenty of time to find someone else, especially since we now know she was asked to defend this dirtbag as a favor to the prosecutor.  [/quote]

Favor to the prosecutor is refusable, certainly.  But it might/will end your career.  There may be times in a legal career when sanctions, jail, or career ending decisions need to be made, but this doesn't seem like one of them.  She represented a criminal -- that's what it means to be a public defender.  [/quote]
