+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.
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]
I absolutely would quit before I would hurt a child. And in fact my own father quit criminal law when he got a racist murderer a $1 fine. That was the end of his criminal law career. Do the right thing.

I just listened to that entire recording. Clinton was able to get the case plea bargained because the State mishandled the evidence. Based on what is on the tape, the State threw away the evidence. I'm obviously not a lawyer, but I think Clinton herself would be subject to malpractice charges if she hadn't pursued that in defense of her client.
That is a different point. I am not criticizing a defense attorney for doing her job. It is her skewering of the young girl and her gleeful remarks. This is the antithesis of feminism.
There was no evidence of Clinton "skewering" the girl on the tape. What did I miss?
It is in the affidavit.
NP here. Wasn't the information in the affidavit based upon the investigation and opinion(s) from one of the experts, though? Not sure how a defense attorney raising those issues in an affidavit filed in the case is "skewering" anybody.

are you surprised Hillary drags out her Southern drawl when it's convenient? She does it quite frequently.
Oh please. Of all the reasons to attack her. I slip into it too if I'm speaking with people from the south. It happens organically. Get over it.

There seems to be a lot of data out there and I don't really feel like going through it all. The affidavit shows that Clinton referred to a child psychologist who questioned the child's honesty. However, that line of discussion apparently never made it into court because of the loss of evidence was enough to get a plea bargain.
When I hear that someone was "skewered" I get the idea that the skewerer directly confronts the skewered. I don't get the idea that someone quoted someone else that the skewered person never saw. Do you have more evidence of the girl being "skewered"? If so, please link to it directly or provide very clear instructions as to how to find it.
