"People assume I’m O.K. with a young boy being murdered because I represent the defendant."

"To me, that’s pretty vicious. They have to understand, I’m not all right with people being murdered or with crime. I’m all right with defending constitutional rights. If he’s guilty, he will be convicted. And that’s it. But my God... it’s going to be legally."

Thanks to Jennifer L. McCann and all the criminal defense lawyers who perform this necessary role.
