51. As a non-lawyer, I didn't glean what you did out of the article

Thanks for the analysis in language us laymen can understand. From your analysis, it would seem that Senator Clinton exercised extremely poor judgment in the case, especially in not handing it off to an experienced trial lawyer or in getting an experienced trial lawyer to assist in the case.

One comment though, is it legally ethical not to vigorously defend a client you think is "guilty as sin"? I am not questioning your judgement, but I am asking for your opinion on legal ethics. What would have been the proper way to defend this client?
