About Ariel Castro's lawyers

39. You don't provide quotes and I didn't see them on the news but your OP could be distilled to this:

'I know he deserve a defense but I still want to criticize the attorney who provides that.'
To me the defense of the worst criminals is a part of our system that is important not only for the accused but to all who are accused or could be accused of anything, rightfully or wrongfully.
They are attempting to prevent the execution of their client. That is their job. You seem to desire that they provide a sham defense, winking and nodding about their client's guilt as they go so as not to offend the all important television spectators...
I'll try to find this presser online and watch it, your reporting lacks quotations and cites, so it does not really convey anything other than your inferences. I as an ethical person can not judge these attorneys based on your reworded retelling of what you say they said.
