You have said nothing that casts doubt on any of my contentions. Your contention was that lawyers (private or public) have an obligation to try to get their client off. Do you still agree that freeing this woman is justice served?

Actually, I said that public and private lawyers have an EQUAL OBLIGATION to defend their clients to the best of their abilitites. I stand by that statement.

Well, for one thing, I never said nor implied that freeing this woman is justice served. Does justice always get served under our system? Of course not. But it is my belief that justice is more served under this adversarial system than almost any other that I have heard.
