I guess it depends on what you mean by "subversion." In an adversarial system, any lawyer who doesn't use all of the tools at his disposal to defend his client is guilty of malpractice. If a lawyer sees a legal way to advocate for his client, he MUST do so.

Have you never heard of ethics? By the above, I presume you think DA's should subvert the truth in order to free the scum of the earth including the women who drowned her two children and then claimed she was "hexed"!

Well, I tried. Now it's to the point that I can't even understand your question. Why would a DA want to free the scum of the earth? I will note again, as I have noted before, that in advocating for clients, lawyers are not ethically allowed to lie or countenance perjury.

You won't reply to any of the arguments that I made in answering your previous statements - and now it seems that you are now combing the thread looking for statements that I have made that you can erect a straw man around. I was hoping for a more serious discussion of these issues...
