ToxicSlurpee posted:Actually it kind of is. If you can swing public opinion heavily against somebody because they defended a bad person then you end up with public optics being part of the consideration to defend somebody. For due process to function properly there needs to be a no exceptions, ever clause in it. That means even the worst people get to have lawyers, end of story, and we shouldn't judge somebody for defending a bad person. The reason for this is not to defend bad people but rather to defend not bad people. As soon as you make an exception you're pretty much guaranteed to have some poo poo nugget somewhere stuffing a crowbar in the exception and prying it open as far as they possibly can. nobody here is booing due process the math is simple - did this guy have a legal obligation to take the case? no? that's it, we can judge them.

Whitlam posted:You got me. There are literally no good arguments against governments running the defence and the prosecution. Quoting a list on wikipedia isn't an argument, except on youtube and 4chan infographics. North Korea also has a loving legislative body, better not have any either. Also elections. I mean, if theirs are rigged that obviously means that elections lead to rigging and authoritarianism, right? Best discard that poo poo and just have a blueblood and his family run things.
