Hillary Defends Child Rapist

[Vyxn]

So as a public defender she, um, did her job?

so slut shamming a 12 year old is doing her job? attorney like her is what keeps women from reporting and testifying in rape cases

so slut shaming a 12 year old to get a pedophilia back on the street is doing her job

Haha I wanted to let few more pages go by of liberals defending Hillary before dropping that fact but damn you just went and ruined my fun!

Defending her client is.

"I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and to engage in fantasizing," wrote Rodham, without referring to the source of that allegation."

This isn't actually defending your client. How can the courts even let that go as far as that?

Yeah, its a shitty part of the job but it IS part of the job to question a victim harshly. My mother had to go through such a thing herself when 3 of her friends died and she was the only one who lived because she got out of the car 5 min beforehand.

you can defend your client like she did with discrediting the evidence, but come on slut shamming a 12 year old? it is despicable tactics like that that keeps women from reporting and testifying in many rape cases

edit: Scratch that, I'd have a problem with it with anyone if they're trying to paint the victim as being emotionally unstable.

Maybe we need to dig deeper and find out who the guy on trial actually was.

Maybe there are some /cough connections here.

[Binary Speaker]

And F. Lee Bailey, Robert Shapiro, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian, Gerald Uelmen Carl E. Douglas and Johnnie Cochran all defended a murderer. Whats your point?

[Crissi]

It's a 12 year old. I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was someone that was over 20 but doing that to a 12 year old? Fuck that. It's a kid.

Unfortunately, the age doesnt matter. If the attorney isnt doing everything in her power, which includes discrediting witnesses and victims, then she should be fired. Although it should be based on at least a smidgen of evidence and not pulled out of her ass.

For any Europeans paying attention it is a myth that people get a fair defense in the United States thanks to the Republican party these days. You see if you are a qualified defense attorney with any ambition in life you no longer take any cases of anything other then misdemeanors. So the people that actually need a CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED RIGHT TO A FAIR DEFENSE get fucked.

THANKS Republicans for yet again SHITTING on the constitution.

Don't derail the thread

Sooo... Lets say the client was emotionally unstable, did seek out older men, and had a history of fantasizing? Should a defense attorney not bring that up because shes a child, who might have been raped? I guess you can never just come out and say that the accuser is lying, because its a rape case.

[GareBear]

A lawyer probably lied about something eh? I think they teach them to do that.

Lawyers and lobbyists, scum of the earth and all our government is made up of.

That's not discrediting. That's attacking someone, way over the line.

They're not gearing up for a Presidential run.

Calling someone a liar isn't "slut shaming". It's saying "Hey! I don't believe you when you said you were raped! You're lying, and my client shouldn't go to jail for your lies!"

[pateuvasiliu]

Every trial has a lawyer defending someone who is guilty.

Get over it, it's what they do.

They're modern mercenaries.

[Crissi]

That's not discrediting. That's attacking someone.

Its discrediting. If theres a piece of evidence that a defense attourny can use to twist into something like that, she can. If she doesnt try her best to defend her client, the conviction can be overturned on appeal due to ineffective counsel. Just because you dont like it doesnt mean shit.

That's not what she did though.

I guess in the 70's Hillary accepted a case to defend a man who got a 12 year old girl drunk and then raped her. She got his sentence severely reduced by arguing a technicality. It sounds from the tapes that she suggests she knew he was guilty and played the system in his favor anyway. I wonder how the Children's Defense Fund will react to this as they just honored her the other month.


When you post remember two things:

1) Sadly, even scumbag kiddy rapists are entitled to a defense.
2) If this was a right wing politician gearing up for a run the phrase "war on women" would be attached to every article/discussion on this story.


ps. Keep it productive as the wolves are on a "no bad press for Hillary" day today so don't give them any reason to lock it up, as if they need one anyway haha.

So she was appointed to represent this guy and actually did her job? What a shock.

Rofl, holy shit. If I had lived in America I'd literally have to lock myself up to avoid shitting on those who defend people in that manner, it's pure malice to suggest the things she did without presenting evidence for it.
