I always appreciate it. I don't<br>>disagree with what you are saying, but you are not addressing my point.<br>>Perhaps it got lost along the trail of
emails.<br>><br>>1) I am not talking about not defending people that have been accused of a<br>>crime. I think that is all fine and dandy. I even support the right of an<br>>appeal, maybe even two or three in cases of rape, child molestation or<br>>murder.<br>><br>>2) I am not stating that I believe that public defenders are evil, or <br>>wrong.<br>><br>>What I am saying is here, if you have a guy who has been convicted by a<br>>court of law, the guy admits to molesting these children, and many more and<br>>the lawyer argues the guy has the RIGHT to leave jail, get in a car, and<br>>drive to another town, spend time there, and come back, completely<br>>unsupervised during the travel time--we have a public defender that isn't<br>>defending anyone.<br>><br>>I don't think that is even in the best interests of the child molester<br>>because they are placed in a position to re-offend which would result in a<br>>worse
conviction. I think it is perfectly reasonable to argue that this<br>>person should be with someone at all times that has been trained to prevent<br>>and limit temptation of the perp. If there is not somebody available to<br>>watch and supervisor this person, they should not be allowed out of jail.<br>><br>>I also don't think it is in the best interests of the defense to argue for<br>>early release. Early release increases their chance of re-offending,<br>>resulting in worse sentences against for the offender.<br>><br>>I don't think there is a problem with the law. I think there is a problem<br>>with a judicial system that does not seek the truth but instead has two<br>>lawyers squaring off against each other to see who can win regardless of<br>>what is best for society and the people involved. The people that can <br>>change<br>>it is the lawyers. We don't have a system that is about truth and <br>>justice,<br>>but about
cash and the ability to make a good legal argument.<br>><br>>As Dick pointed out, I am not arguing points of law, or legislation so much<br>>as I am arguing points of morality and safety. A defense attorney, public,<br>>or private, that allows a person who has murdered and/or molested the<br>>innocent is committing a grave sin against society just to win a case.<br>>Lawyers that hide behind the law, may do so, but they cannot hide from God<br>>and his law and the knowledge that they released someone that goes on to<br>>harm many others.<br>><br>>Gary, the difference between you and many lawyers, is that if someone asked<br>>you to unlock a house door so they could beat their wife or rape a child,<br>>you would not say, OK, he paid my fee who am I to get in the way of this<br>>rights.<br>><br>>Best to you Gary,<br>><br>>_DJA<br>><br><br><br>=======================================================<br> List services made
