I understand what you're saying, and I admit that there is a fine line. But I'm not talking about your everyday defense attorney. We all know that there are criminals who get off *only* because their attorney found one small shred of a technicality. Never mind that said criminal was indeed *guilty*. I mean, does anyone think OJ was innocent??

The Bill of Rights is to protect the *innocent*. Not help the guilty get off on a technicality.
