He's just doing his job! Blame the people who wrote the law badly, so the technicality existed. Though I guess I'm more sympathetic to a defense attorney paid by the state to defend an impoverished client than I am by someone who chooses to defend a wealthy client because he'll make big bucks doing so. I strongly doubt that his motivation is a concern that justice be done.</p>
