from one left wing nut-job to another... I can't stop myself from saying something and I'm really sorry.
There are undertones of "the guilty don't deserve legal representation" in this thread. I am sorry for sounding as condescending as I am about to, but it could be useful to realize where that thought process comes from. It is far more than just ignorance. I think it comes from a misunderstanding of the legal system whose blanks were filled with ideas born from a world view that "the bad are undeserving". To some it just seemed obvious that you could choose who you represent as a lawyer. Think about how ridiculous that would be if it were true, and then think about why you thought that it made sense.
