    Yes, I do understand that.

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    Yep. Get that. And get that defence lawyers must thoroughly dislike and detest the person they are defending too at times. Can you imagine defending a child killer? Must be gut-wrenching

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    And also, it's the defence lawyer's job to put doubt in the minds of said jury. A good defence lawyer could make all the difference to a guilty or not guilty verdict and a defence lawyer's persuasion could indeed lead to a not guilty verdict when the defendant is actually guilty.

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    Yep get all that. Still seems like a bit of cop out that though. Pass on a sense of moral internal duty and wash your hands of it all. I could walk down the street, watch an old lady being mugged and just walk past saying 'Not my job, it's down to the police.' I get all he is saying and what I...

    Been umming and ahhing about it. The reviews have been okay, but I am not so sure on it or whether to give it a whirl or not. Will remain undecided I think til I see some better reviews.

    Robins after Craig Davies

    I went with 7 at first, but then trimmed it down to 3 so as to not induce too much vomitting diarrhoea.

    Robins after Craig Davies

    That's what all contract killers tell you. Then they quietly come and take you out in the dead of night with one single bullet.

    Yep? Chinese whispers start the snowball rolling and then there's a domino effect.

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    I remember some drunk driver crashing into the back of my car as it was parked for the night outside our house. He wrote the car off. He got taken to court and I had to testify, but he got off. As soon the case ended the police told me outside the court that he had done the exact same thing on...

    Ranking Every Premier League Manager By How Likely They Are to Eat a Worm

    If anyone was going to eat a worm I would have it down as the former Forest and Pompey footballer and now youth coach at Fulham, Steve Wigley.

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    At the end of the day nothing is perfect. Just wonder how defence lawyers feel about clients they have gotten off who have then gone on to commit the exact same sort of crime again?

    Think you'll find he's something in-between these two.

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    Just checked and a lawyer can turn you down. Many reasons and they can just say they are too busy for instance. Just went on the Law Society site. Lots of reasons you can turn a potential client down for and like I say, if you thought someone was lying and was guilty when they are saying they...

    Defence lawyers/barristers defending clients they know to be guilty

    Which is why I am saying we should look at the law itself. And besides, that’s not quite right surely. You go and see a barrister or lawyer and they agree to take your case, or not. My wife's friend struggled to get a lawyer to take her case.

    Which goal made you go the most mental?

    A few. David Platt against Belgium in the 1990 World Cup. Alan Shearer against Germany in the 2000 Euro's. Regis's goal against Sheff Weds in the QF of the 87 FA Cup. The 3rd goal (Garry Thompson?) Against West Ham in the 81 League Cup semi-final, after we came back from 2 down to win 3-2...
