A Criminal Trial Is Never About Seeking

Good Character Consists Of Recognizing The Selfishness That Inheres In Each Of Us And Trying To Balance It Against The Altruism To Which We Should All Aspire. It Is A Difficult Balance To Strike, But No Definition Of Goodness Can Be Complete Without It.

Look, I Don't Know Whether God Exists. I Don't Know That. And I Tell You One Thing, I Am Not Frightened Of My Beliefs. If There Is A God Who Is Threatening Me With Damnation Because I Don't Believe In Him, So Be It. I've Lived My Life In Conscience, And I Will Suffer Damnation Willingly In Conscience Against A Tyrannical God Who Would Damn Me Because, On The Basis Of The Intelligence He Gave Me, I Have Come To A Conclusion Doubting His Existence, And I Will Continue To Be A Skeptic All Of My Life.

All Sides In A Trial Want To Hide At Least Some Of The Truth.

If We Move Away From The American Tradition Of Lawyers Defending Those With Whom They Vehemently Disagree -- As We Temporarily Did During The Mccarthy Period -- We Weaken Our Commitment To The Rule Of Law... So Beware Of An Approach Which Limits Advocacy To That Which Is Approved By The Standards Of Political Correctness.

Nobody Wants Justice.
