I've always wondered what about those who are take by gun point in their car. I think I would drive as erratically as possible hoping to get pulled over, or just drive to the police station, or wreck his side of the car. If SOB shoots me, he isn't getting far.

The odds are they won't be putting on a seatbelt when they get into the car so you can bet I'd be planting their side of the car, and thus their face, right into a telephone pole at highway speed.

Another good reason to make sure you're always wearing your seatbelt!

I'm not sure odds say they won't fasten a seat belt. Kidnappers watch movies too.

Adams will be arraigned at 1pm central time.

Maybe a dumb question, but why would any attorney want to represent a murderer in a case? I mean I know it's their job it's just never made sense I me. I don't mean just this one but any murder case in the country. Why would they want the person to possibly walk away free or get their sentence dramatically reduced?

You need input on WHY someone needs an attorney for murder? Or WHY an attorney would take the case?

Because it's the defendants right. None of us want this prick or any prick that has performed such acts to continue living.

You either support the laws or you don't. You can't pick and choose. The same laws that will put him in prison or put to death are the same laws that afford him an attorney.

do you believe every person accused of a crime deserves an attorney? How about those who can't afford one on their own?

No I just mean why would an attorney take the case. I know it's te defendants right to have one, that's not what I meant.

I'm thinking of it like, most attorneys have families & children of their own..why would they try to get a murderer off with no jail time just to possibly put their family in danger? (If they lived close by)

I don't know I guess I'm not making much sense..I've always just wondered about it.

I see what your saying but all defendants must have an attorney because sometimes they do get the wrong guy.

I get what you're saying. I'm not the type of person who would be able to work hard at my job knowing it could put a killer on the street. On the flipside, I couldn't give babies shots all day knowing it could save their life. It's just not in me. Glad we have those kinds of people though.

There's this thing called a trial.....and you can't say he's a murderer until you prove he did it or confesses.

Not everyone accused or arrested is automatically guilty.

Yep see Casey Anthony and George Zimmerman . Jose Baez couldn't pass the bar for several years but he is a famous lawyer now. Florida at its finest

Obviously.


Okay I'm gonna try one last time to prove my point.

Let's say HYPOTHETICALLY, a serial killer is charged with multiple murders over a period of time, say a few months, & everybody knows he did it. Say somebody witnessed him do it & they told the law what they've witnessed & there's a video of him doing it but you can't see his face blah blah but everybody knows it's him...when the trial comes around, he's found not guilty because there's not enough evidence. As soon as the judge says the words "not guilty" the attorney for the defendant smiles & is all happy because her client is free.

How could somebody be glad that they helped a known criminal & serial killer back on the streets? I'm more questioning an attorney's state of mind & thought process..not why is an attorney present.

Defense attorneys. Not bad people but the justice system allows them to help prove the state has no evidence. It happens all the time. Money again .
Have you seen OJ and other profile cases?
The justice system in our country is all about money. Sad truth
I believe that guy will be prosecuted and given life in prison with his prior assault charges. Wouldn't surprise me if he walked though with lack of evidence. That's life!

The attorney has to presume the assumption of innocence for his client. I think what you're really trying to ask is not the fact that everyone knows the defendant is guilty, but what the attorney actually thinks after taking the case to provide defense for the client. Two ways on that one....The defendant never admits guilt to the attorney, so the attorney has to work within the system to bring a verdict of innocent or not guilty. But, if the defendant admits guilt to his attorney, then how does the attorney continue to provide defense? I think the last part is what you trying to ask.:dunno:

Can't a lawyer remove himself/herself in the situation of the defendant admits guilt to him/her? I don't mean the court ordered public defender.
