Why would it be shocking? I don't work in the legal system in any way and I've never been to court. I think most people know about this stuff from TV and movies. I'm not going to read legal textbooks in my spare time just for fun.

Haha. Oh no I was thinking about the big hotshot firms and not public defenders. I'm sure you don't get paid as much as you should for the work you do.

Thanks to everyone who replied to me with legal knowledge. Defence lawyers must have to be very good at separating their job from their personal views of their clients. It must be a hard job. No wonder they get paid the big bucks.

Wow, she sounds so much like Michael at the start of that song!

I actually don’t really know too much about lawyers legal and ethical obligations. If they know someone is guilty don’t they have to get them to take a plea deal or plead insanity? I’ve seen movies where lawyers say “don’t tell me” and “don’t talk about that in front of me”. I don't think they are allowed to knowingly…

I’m in Australia so my New Year’s Eve was last night. In Perth they have kids entertainment and activities in the city so I took my little boy in for that and we met up with some other people from a single parent meet up group. They were all really nice and my son had a great time dancing and running around with the…

Yes it's a shame it's come to this. That whole thing with Lamar being on drugs and Khloe saying how bad things were in the house was weird. Wtf happened in the house? Were Khloe and rob both doing drugs with him? She just said things got really dark. Mysterious...

I think he was happy to be on the show and making money but somewhere along the way things went wrong. I think he put on heaps of weight after a break up and got depressed. I think he might have been using drugs too but that's speculation on my part. It's just weird that if his weight was his main problem some fancy…

I wonder if it was lush lust? I tried it on one day because I wanted a strong jasmine perfume but it ended up smelling like petrol on me

Woo-hooo!!!!!! I saw it yesterday!!! I'm sure you will love it. I don't want to say anything that could reveal the plot so I'll be careful about what I say but I loved it.

Oh, you might be right. But what about Kylie? I’m sure there was this big thing between the jenners and Selena because one of them had apparently hooked up with the Biebs and Selena deleted all the pictures of them from her Instagram.

I think I’ll be revealing that I know too much about the Kardashians but... wasn’t Bieber hooking up with Kendall a while ago? Didn’t it cause a problem between Kendall and Kylie and Selena Gomez? Something to do will coachella. How weird he would then go out with her sister who is about 18 years older. I just don’t…

I think it’s completely different in this situation because so many of her fans are young girls around this age. She talks about empowerment and the like, but by doing this she’s basically saying she’s against this girl who is in a terrible place one way or another. Also fans these days are crazy and I hope hers don’t…

I know it’s probably easier hypothetically than in real life, but I don’t think she should have payed his bail. How would it feel for the 12 year old who has already been allegedly raped to then have one of the biggest pop stars in the world publicly support the rapist. What sort of message is she sending her really…

I don’t believe for one second he told everyone he had sex with about his HIV. I feel bad for anyone with this, however they got it. BUT once you knowingly transmit the disease to innocent women you are a piece of shit that belongs in jail and we know about this guys history of abuse.

That’s a pretty terrible thing to say about a guy who is still in hospital with possible brain damage and kidney failure. You can’t judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. Lamar has been through a lot in his life and there has been addiction in his family. It’s not all about him being a bad guy. If…

How could the Kardashians release the 911 tapes? I know they are pretty vain and seem superficial but I don’t think we should jump to conclusions about them in this situation.

Yes, it would be so heartbreaking. Something similar happened to me, but his behaviour was so disgusting to me that I unfortunately could never forgive him. To me I just couldn’t trust someone again. But Khloe has always talked about wanting to get back together with Lamar and him being the love of her life. I guess…

I feel so terrible for Lamar Odom and also for Khloe. I would hold a grudge for a really long time if my marriage had ended the way theirs did, but she obviously loves him so much. It sounds like he’s had a really hard life so it’s really no wonder he's had his issues. I really hope he can get through this. Surely he…

Most people wouldn’t call Rachael Dolezal a hero, but she did bring some interesting issues into the public eye, whether she meant to or not. That’s not exactly how I see it, but Rihanna is entitled to her opinion and it’s going to be pretty annoying to see white people trying to school her on race issues and how to…
