“Would you not allow a defense for this scum?”
I never raised this issue...I simply made the observation that there are ways to game the system by dedicated scumbags who do it without conscience and seem to feel good about it...the way a late term abortionist feels when he’s killed another inconvenient baby, I suppose...job well done!...why are arguing a point I could care less about? As far as I am concerned, what people do in their employment is up to them...but, to answer your question again...if no one was willing to free a killer on a technicality, or by tugging at heart strings, would they go free?
If juries stopped getting John Edwards in front of them “channeling” dead children, would they become insensitive? Probably not, but they might stop bankrupting people, or entire towns with insane rewards while the scumbag attorneys walk away with MILLIONS of dollars.
I think only the law (and what is left of my poor America) would benefit if lawyers said “no, this I will not do. My morals do not allow it”
Some do but obviously many don't.
I agree with you. We have about exhausted this discussion.
