Is he REALLY a criminal defense attorney?

[Alberta's Child]

From what I read yesterday, yes.

Yes, the guy is part of the problem.
the amoral lawyers who insisted the mentally ill can't be
kept in mental institutions for more than 24 hours and there records are wiped clean.
This guy is a left wing Lawyer and is giddy that he can use his kids death for his 15 minutes of fame.

Why isn't this guy planning his kids funeral and memorial to his life rather than holding press conferences !

His is a vile creature .

"Is he REALLY a criminal defense attorney?"

WaPo identifies Mr Martinez as a criminal defense attorney. --> HERE

Given that, Mr. Martinez's extremely twisted logic (ignore the crazy person behind the gun, hammer, machete, and BMW, just focus on the gun) makes some sense.

(Posted elsewhere: "The cynic in me says he might could wrestle himself a Senate seat out of this if he plays his California cards just right.")

An attorney and a criminal defense one at that. Professional Licensed Showboat Liars. When our system looks the other way when lawyers lie in court in a “win at any cost” attitude, justice is never served, except for those who bring the most money to the argument.

Much of our legal system has grown to be nothing more that a life support system for attorneys.

Sure I paint with a broad brush, but when good men do nothing, tyranny wins every time.

If this is the same guy -- Richard Ross Martinez -- he is not very well spoken-of in this one review.
