[Vision2020] Shoes thrown at President Bush

[Donovan Arnold]

Chas,

The accused are entitled to a competent defense. They are not entitled to a defense mounted by Sunil. Nor is Sunil forced by law to defend them. That is his personal choice. 

Your statement, "Does this mean that only the stupid and incapable should become public defenders?", can only assume that anyone with lesser talent of Sunil is "incapable and stupid." I disagree with that assessment. There are plenty of other competent lawyer's that are not as good as Sunil. 

I think there are more noble causes in life to fight for than the release of a slew of convicted serial child molesters. 

If I was a good lawyer, wanting to do good, freeing child molesters and criminals back into my community would not be a first cause I would champion. 

Best Regards,

Donovan
