Once again trial lawyers helping the criminal while screwing the public.

Your anger is misdirected. The lawyer is ethically obligated to explore all defenses available --- for the person that is already prosecuted. This is different from enticing someone to start litigation.

Your anger should be directed at the proper target and not against what makes our legal system fair and stable.

'Fair and stable' legal system bttt!

LOL!

At the proper target? And which target is that, pray tell?

Your post would carry more weight if you were to identify just what you consider "the proper target" to be.

Personally, I believe that the justice system is supposed to serve society and not the bad guys. If you do the crime, you pay the price and if you did bad because you are "retarded", "abused", "obsessed", or really, really, needed the money; tough!

I guess those lawyers being so noble and all is the reason behind their 98 some odd percent donation rate to Clintoon and the 'Rats in the past?...

Are they ethically obligated to support 'Rats? Is it that ethical obligation that has them bankrupting companies selling products with no scientifically discernable flaws (like silicone breast implants) in class action suits? Or the obligation that has them filing suit on behalf of eviral organizations over and over after a company constantly revises a plan for a project that will result in the displacement of a scoop of dirt?

Our legal system is not currently fair, or stable, and it just so happens that the occupation known as lawyer has the primary responsibility for that. Not to knock you if you are one, but its human nature and historically true that the interpreters of the "laws" always seek to further complicate them, multiply them, and entrench their monopoly powers over them, even if it is to the detriment of the society or country as a whole, long term...
