can you back up your opinion that a criminal defense attorney's job is only to ensure the accused gets a fair trial? are you kidding? that's absurd. it shows you either have not read the constitution or the many decisions regarding a defense lawyer's duties to the client, or you're biased and trying to shape opinion.

Thanks for your "input."

It appears you yourself are prone to making comments without sufficient knowledge of information. I do in fact carry a copy of the Constitution with me! You made an erroneous "assumption." A dangerous prospect don't you think "counselor?"

I have no problem with vigorous defense. It stimulates debate of ideas and brings people to thoughtful decisions and is the only way our system will uncover the truth. I DO NOT however find in MY copy of the Constitution wording that says "get the defendant off at all costs." But I "personally" believe that "some" attorneys "shape opinion" by using some of the most extreme arguments that can defy logic and reason. Notice I said "my opinion." I also feel that some prosecutors fail in their jobs at exposing or challenging such absurdities as well as provide adequate proof of their case (as do SOME defense attorneys) and I'm sure would agree that that does not provide justice for the victim NOR the defendant or society.

I thought the job of the courts was to assure justice for the defendant AND the victim via the pursuit of "the truth." I do understand that some folks consider the "truth" as being relative. At times I believe that investigators fail at that goal as well as some prosecutors AND some defense attorneys.

This is regarding a good defense lawyer. A few years back,I found myself in BIG trouble over drugs. I was blessed with one of Pittsburgh's (PA) best lawyers. He sat me down and said "I am here to make sure you get a fair accounting with the law. The most important thing is we get the court to see you as a complete person, especially in regards to punishment." I guess I should of set that up with the statement I was guilty and did not want to put my family through any more BS. He landed me a plea that was very fair and I took my lumps like a grown up. his counsel was GOLDEN and never once did he talk of circumventing justice or getting me off. Once I told him the truth, you could hear the gears whirring. Now, do you think that clown representing that skank is interested in anything except fame and fortune? please
