within it's basic document, the Constitution, that everyone accused of a crime is entitled to representation, whether of not they can afford it. If they cannot afford counsel, one will appointed by the court. Precisely this happened in that case.

I do not know how this case panned out, not do I know whether the individual was innocent of guilty, I can say that there are few others that find the abuse of a child as abhorrent as I. At the same time, I also believe adamantly that every one charged with a crime has access to an attorney, and it is the atty's job to bring forth what they see fit as a defense. None of us were in that courtroom, none of us know what went through the minds of either the victim or the accused.

What I see here is someone trying desperately, (not necessarily you), you smear someone for doing what they were charged to do. There was a lot of animosity when John Adams defended the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre...he was doing his job. Are the RW shit goblins going to bring that up? After all...he went on to some pretty important things...including being PotUS.
