If lawyers refuse, then it would be assigned to a public defender. O'Reilly supports this action and had no argument against pubic defenders. However, the pubic defender should not be obligated to get the guy off; only ensure that he is treated fairly by the court system.

Public defenders are lawyers too. They have just as much obligation to fight for the rights of their client as do lawyers with paying clients.

Why do you also include in these rights the right to go free after committing a crime?????
