View submission: The Ethics of Defense Lawyers
My father was a public defender for his entire career. One night we were at home and my mother started discussing one of his current cases. She starts describing how his client murdered his child when my father interrupted rather loudly:
"Allegedly, allegedly. He has not been convicted in a court of law. Until he is convicted in a court of law, he is not guilty of any crime."
My mother than calmly backed down, saying "Okay okay".
Then when things quieted down, she turned to me and whispered "He did it."
There's nothing here!
