That fucking attorney should share a cell with her.
No, you don't understand! He's just following orders, I mean doing his job!
You think people shouldn't have a defense if they're accused of crimes that are heinous enough?
I must agree, everyone deserves a vigorous defense.
I don't think people should have or need attorneys for criminal (or most civil) cases.
If you are innocent, it should be possible to defend yourself. If you are guilty, no attorney should be able to save you from the consequences.
Instead, we have a system where the means to hire attorneys are used as a proxy for guilt or innocence, depriving the innocent of justice as defendants and society of justice as prosecutors. The law has been twisted into an ever-expanding justification for the profession of attorney, ballooned far beyond the ability of a reasonably intelligent man who focuses his attentions on other matters to even maintain a cursory knowledge of, let alone grasp firmly enough to abide by it or apply it.
What's that bit in your Miranda rights? Oh yeah, if you cannot afford an attorney one will be provided to you.
Actual fucking midwit.
Yet more legal illiteracy. Do you have any idea how difficult the court system is to navigate. The rules of evidence alone would bar 99% of the population from self representation
