    WTF? She’s awful, and belongs in jail, but her lawyer is just doing his job. She has a right to a lawyer, you can’t criminalize defense lawyers for the crimes of their clients. If he keeps succeeding over and over, it’s probably not because he’s the greatest lawyer in history, it’s probably because the local court system allows her to stay free. Blame them, not some underpaid, overworked public defender.

      For a lawyer to get someone like her off the hook so many times, I highly doubt he’s underpaid. It’s probably a private lawyer with ties in the system to get her off the hook so many times.
