In reply to the discussion: Mark O'Mara is new Zimmerman Defense Lawyer [View all]BanTheGOP
(1,068 posts)Zimmerman HAS a right to any attorney he wants.
And WE have a right to find out who the attorney is, and to determine OUR valuation (or lack thereof) for said attorney.
I have always been consistent: I can NOT FATHOM why ANY attorney worth his Constitutional salt would take this case, UNLESS it is to help Zimmerman render a guilty verdict. Now, if this is all O'Mara is going to do, AND he doesn't plea down from Murder 2, then I can withstand and even accept the association. But if O'Mara takes this to trial, despite the overwhelming and impossible-to-contradict evidence supporting Zimmerman's action of murdering a young child, then you can bet that the attorney is target for my scorched earth policy that should be applied to all republican-minded individuals.
AGAIN, I REPEAT: The most rigorous defense, as long as no laws are broken or courtroom ethics violated, is acceptable...TO A POINT. And while the defendent has every right to go through a trial, there is no way a verdict of Guilty can NOT be decided by a FAIR JURY.
To that end, the attorney is fair game for public and professional condemnation. That is my point.
