But we don't really care.

Ok, but there is nothing to suggest that this guy does know. How would a lawyer know what their client is actually doing? All they know is what their client tells them and what the evidence is.

And whoever represents someone repeatedly accused of a horrible crime is automatically a bad person?

The rest of the comment reads, "By the same token, representing a client does not constitute approval of the client's views or activities." So who knows what you're talking about. And denying a person representation because of repeated accusations is covered by the comment because (according to your argument)…

And where is the fraud here?

If Rule 6.2 were read to include defense of people accused of horrible crimes, then the system would break down. Who would defend the Jeffrey Dahmers and Tim McVeighs of the world? And if nobody did it, according to our Constitution (probably, anyway; I don't think this has ever been litigated), there could be no…

MRPC 1.2, comment 5: "Legal representation should not be denied to people... whose cause is controversial or the subject of popular disapproval."

Of course I realize that.

The answer is no. An attorney is ethically obligated to accept representation if they are able to do it. There is nothing that separates this guy from any other attorney, who would also know about the past accusations. You're argument suggests that anyone who has been accused of child molestation multiple times…

But you are saying he doesn't deserve legal representation. You're saying that anyone who has been accused of repeated and unrelated charges of child molestation doesn't deserve representation. Do you think a new attorney wouldn't know, or find out, about the past charges? How is that any different than using the…

Yea, fuck anyone defending people who are accused of committing a crime. We should just throw people in jail without a trial. Guilty 'til proven innocent, I say.

My school didn't have a hockey team, so no, I haven't.

I wish. At least in my major, the classes were curved around a B. But keep telling yourself that Ivy students all get As for taking naps all day if it makes you feel better.

As a former Ivy athlete I can attest that the schools do relax admission standards for the athletic recruits. But you still have to be smart to get in. The kids I knew who were recruited had the academic credentials to get into schools like Notre Dame and Georgetown without any held from an athletic department (SATs…

Doug Barry is the master of the run-on sentence. That opening first sentence/paragraph would make even [insert almost any Victorian-era novelist] blush.

West Point is free; you don't have to be wealthy to go there. And why are you letting the black kids off the hook automatically while indicting all the white guys? You don't know them. You don't know that they are any different than the white guys. Assuming that they are more or less inclined to engage in these…

She built her career around her sex tape with Ray-J, which went viral; she also has famous parents (dad on OJ's Dream Team; Olympic gold medalist step-father) so she started from a little bit more than "almost nothing".

Any screenwriting that requires me to have read a novel ahead of time to enjoy what I'm watching is bad screenwriting.
