You absolutely can still defend someone you know to be guilty. You can challenge the prosecution’s evidence and offer an alternate theory of the case. A defense attorney’s job is first and foremost to make the state meet its burden of proving guild beyond a reasonable doubt. However, a lawyer cannot put a client she…

Lawyers cannot present evidence they know is false. A defense attorney will not want to know if his/her client is guilty because, if they know, they cannot have the client testify otherwise. But many criminal defendants don’t testify. There is bo ethical duty to have a guilty client accept a plea, though.

No, their duty is to defend their client, they do not have to get them to take a deal or plead guilty even if they know they are guilty. They’re not allowed to “suborn perjury”, that is, encourage their client or anyone else to lie under oath or ask them a question on the stand if they know they’re going to lie in…

Ethical rules for lawyers vary from state to state, but I strongly suspect that lawyers are universally forbidden from introducing evidence they know to be false. The “knowledge” requirement here is very technical. A lawyer could have a very strong suspicion that their client was lying under oath but still allow that…

Um. No. You can lie all you want as a lawyer. You can’t lie under oath. Lawyers aren’t under oath. They’re lawyering, not testifying.

My understanding as a non-litigation lawyer is that lawyers cannot knowingly get or instruct their client (or a witness I guess) to lie under oath. They can say something vague like “tell me what happened” but they can’t lie. That being said, I can’t remember if OJ testified or not.

What was most interesting to me and the hook for the whole character was how much of a man of faith he was. He prayed at every meal and before every big business meeting

Rob Kardashian Sr’s hair was so weird how do you have one stripe of grey hair are you part skunk

Yeah, if you see something, it's probably because you were trying to see something. And if you do see something, why is a nipple so offensive to you? I don't get these people.

What is there to even see? I see a kid’s head and no more boob than you’d see on a lot of red carpets.

The WHO recommends breastfeeding for 24 months. After six or so months, many add solid foods to the diet. “Normal” should be what works for mom and baby and nothing to do with what onlookers think.

If you actually had facts to report about Future’s involvement with his other children or any possible drug use, that would be one thing. As it is, it’s entirely possible that the album name is just a name that’s intended to be provocative and that he regularly has visitation with his other children (it’s not as if…

His own lawyer enraged me more than anyone. And that private investigator. They were responsible to this poor kid and they threw him to the wolves.

Maybe there’s also a way to simultaneously address the vast income gap between the social classes *and* between the genders?

Hey! Me too!

That sounds like a great time! And I am sure everyone here will enjoy getting to know you just as much as it looks like everyone does in person, too. Happy New Year!

Yeah, we definitely need to not be forgetting that Woody and others are getting away with it while we’re all enthusiastically lighting Cosby’s pyre.

Yeah, I believe that that the guys were partying pretty hard and shit got weird.

The family has tried and tried to have him meet with therapists, nutritionists, personal trainers etc. Rob shut it all down. Speculation that he was a drug addict and partying with Odem also contributed to his spiral. I feel bad for the guy, too.
