Anybody wanna guess the deepest depths of the Med?  I figured mebbe 5,000'.

I suppose I'm poking at this because is shows a rather dim view of a fundamental right that should probably be celebrated and a lack of inquisitiveness about things.

The criminal justice system has many, many issues. But dwelling on "everyone deserves a vigorous defense" seems a strange one. And yes, sometimes that defense being vigorous means it will upset a particularly pearl-clutch-y person. Like, bad things happen all the time in that world. Impactful bad things. So I react in a way when people look at it and say "why is that person without a good defense acting so UNSEEMLY?!?!?"

And then there's the lack of inquisitiveness. There's no guess as to why a person might use semantic softening. Very possibly, a state has very stringent child "porn" laws because it's great politics to pass them. But perhaps, another term is another category, with less draconian terms. And that's the lawyer's job (and the government's job to argue against). And yes, the lawyer's job is to do what's best for the client, and in this case, make the government most thoroughly prove the case.

(The money part is true! But if one's offense at the CJ system is mostly limited to, 1. Money makes it unfair, 2. Look how unseemly and bad defense lawyers are, it just speaks to not being very curious about what one is actually complaining about)

Lawyers are despicable.
