Even if you were totally innocent, you would still hire a defense attorney?

Probably. Innocent people do get framed, particularly when they go against the "grain".

The only attorney I would hire would be one to sue the living Clinton out of the National Enquirer and the people who sold the story to the Enquirer.

That's another possibility - and if not the Enquirer, then other interested parties.

Realistically, I certainly cannot guarantee Rush's innocence. I doubt his guilt, but obviously don't have all the facts (and I'll point out that nobody else here does either) from which to make a definate judgement. But, I do know that Rush is very bright, honest, and has strong convictions. I think he's building a stronger hand before he plays this one out. It certainly doesn't hurt to have an experienced gambler help decide which cards to toss and which ones to keep, particularly when it appears that the dealer and the other players might share the goal of making you lose.

Agreed. Rush needs the experience and hard ball tactics of Roy Black. This is about more than hatred of Rush, this is about Rush's interference with their plans.

A little history:

Two drug lords Magluta and "Willy" Falc bought an airstrip south of Lake Okeechobee and moved drugs in and out of this country freely by paying off the local Sheriff's Dept.

When they were finally caught, their personal files revealed that they were being served by a Panamanian Law Firm that was headed by Hernon Delgado and Guillermo Endara. This firm set up multiple dummy corporations for them through which they could funnel their drug money. Guillermo Endara was selected to be President of Panama after we removed Manuel Noriega, the biggest drug runner of them all, from power.

The Defense Team for Magluta and Falc includes:

Albert Krieger [defended John Gotti]
Frank Rubin [defended Noriega]
Roy Black [defended William Kennedy Smith and Willy Lozano]
Ed Shohat [the subject of this thread]
Martin Weinberg [Boston attorney/ 4th amendment expert]
Jeff Weiner [Pres. of the Nat'l Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers]
Mark Dachs, and others.

(Shohat also represented Castrillon, another drug underlord, and member of Noriega's "Family" when he was accused of funnelling drug money to the Panamanian Presidency in 1994.)
