color:#1F497D'>And, of course you must also hope for the prosecution of alleged
criminal behavior without fear or favor of outcome, don’t you Mr.
Schwaller? As an interested on-looker, it often seems to me that there
are two systems of justice operating in this country – one for the rich
and one for the poor. I doubt that there are any readers of Vision 2020
who aren’t aware of (at the very least)the appearance preferential
treatment in court for those packing a national or even a local wallop. Justice
should, in my opinion, be tempered with mercy. There is a clear and
important difference between tempering and diluting to the point of absurdity.

<p class=MsoNormal>I did not say there is no need for a Public Defender in our
legal system, and you know that was not my point. The best possible
defense is a right that should be given to anyone. My question in
general, and not necessarily with respect to any past, current, or future case
in Latah county, is what constitutes a "good defense"? Without
pointing fingers at anyone, it seems as if our legal system stirs the pot with
the hope that somehow, somewhere, someway, an insignificant technicality will
free a guilty individual.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>In an ideal world, one would hope that legal strategies
would be weighed with respect to their ability of providing a positive outcome
on a case. Particularly when we, the public, are paying for it. On
the surface, removal of a judge "without having to give
reason" strikes me as a last ditch effort to postpone an inevitable
conclusion. It is unfortunate that, in some situations, taxpayers have to
pay the cost of seemingly pointless legal maneuvers. And again, unfortunately
in our litigious society, attorneys have to do everything possible, no matter
how slim the chance of a positive outcome, to prevent being sued for
malpractice. It's just the old "yeah I may be guilty but you gotta
try to get me off no matter what" approach of which many people are tired.<br>
<br>
Actually, I'm glad you have chosen to represent "poor people."
I have no qualm with that. I have no qualm with all or part of your
salary being provided by the taxpayers. I only wish our legal system
would provide for (and again, no reflection whatsoever on you as an attorney) a
"good" representation, devoid of throwing every possible defense
theory on the wall and hoping something will stick.<br>

Are you saying that there is no need for a Public Defender in our legal system?
Should we assume that anyone arrested for murder or sex crimes is
automatically guilty?<br>
<br>
What do you think the world would be like if any police officer could arrest
anyone at any time for serious crimes with no need to provide evidence?<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Tom - Oh I make my mortgage payment every month right on
time. A nice 15 year fixed, good interest rate. And the best part
is the gummint doesn't have to listen to my whining and crying and "what
are you going to do to bail me out" over getting into a $400,000 home with
monthly payments of only $600, and now they're foreclosing because I was stupid
enough to believe there really is a free lunch and Santa. And it's
Schwaller, with a "ch" in there - as in "CHester", Chester.<br>
<br>
Rose - aaaaaahh we're all a bit mentally ill one way or another. I
guess what really seems a bit perverse is that someone makes a living
attempting to put killers and pedophiles back on the streets - and in this case
at the taxpayers expense. Where's the mental illness?<br>

Sunil - there was a dearth of murdering SOBs on the docket?!?!<br>
