Everybody loves to hate on criminal defense attorneys.... until they need one.
Everybody deserves an adequate lawyer when in need of defense. I could never be a defense attorney, personally. I can't fathom the idea of defending bad people....
they don't defend them. they represent them.
to-may-to, to-mah-to. They defend the innocence of their client.

no, sometims they don't do that.
sometimes their client pleads guilty....as part of a plea-bargain.
sorry, but your understanding of the legal system is faulty.

I'm having an argument in another thread regarding republican/conservative attitude of criminal defense attorneys. My generalization (and YES, I acknowledge it is strictly a generalization) is that republicans and/or conservatives generally do not hold a favorable opinion of criminal defense attorneys.
What is your opinion? I realize this is an extremely subjective poll with so many unknown variables, but again, this is strictly a generalization.
Please, for research purposes, I want to ask that democrats/liberals, libertarians, and independents (unless you consider yourself politically conservative) to refrain from voting in this poll.
