The last four women I dated...all lawyers. All defense lawyers. All of them have defended guilty people that they knew were guilty to the best of their ability even though they knew that their clients belonged in jail. Why? Because that's their job...to ensure that every defendant, even the ones Mr. Slayer doesn't like, gets their day in court and the best defense possible.

No. Not all lawyers are dishonorable. No. Not everybody hates them.

Yes. This lawyer is a scumbag. No, he's not doing his job...because his job is not to engender sympathy for an 11-year old victim by attacking her, ensuring his client goes to jail.
