The lawyer for the bomb suspects insists they are innocent..How does she know?

[Bartfarst 10]

lawyers would not take on cases that are hopeless if they knew they would not get paid.

Very, very true.

And we all know that lawyers knowingly defend people they know to be guilty as sin - because they're being handsomely paid, not because they feel some moral obligation.

 

That's why my lawyer has bought a brand new Range Rover and a brand new TVR this year. Mind you, he's good.

What a lawyer says about a client must always be taken with a pinch of salt as it is not impartial.

 

Absolutely right, but let's not lose sight of the fact that, in the case of the CPS the client is the Crown, therefore whatever they say about the prosecutions case should also be taken with a pinch of salt for the same reasons.

Early bed? Need your sleep for work tomorrow? Need a clear head to think? Hmmm .... you're not a lawyer by any chance?

I suppose when you go into work Monday morning, you will tell the boss that you will work for free from now on?

i don't think so.

[hagardriley 10]

am i right in saying that we have the finest legal system in the world?

 

Of course you are!

 

In fact, as we speak, I have Lord Lucan living in my garden shed writing an article on the subject, which he will later this week deliver to The Star having been transported there in a carriage driven by Elvis and pulled by Shergar.

Isn't it the lawyers job to defend them even if they ARE guilty, so long as the suspects keeping saying they are innocent?

If that's the case, they can keep pleading innocence and the lawyer must plead innocent on their behalf, even if they know it's most likely a lie.

She insits they are wrong because she is impartial to the case by law and if the suspects claim to be innocent then by the law of the land they are innocent unless proved guilty.

Not read the full thread but it just shows the problem we have

 

We have the possiblity that a group of British born asains want to create a chemical bomb to murder hundreds/thousands of us and then we have one person shot as part of an anti-terror. Guess which gets more coverage

[Toby 10]

well i personally think they are probably guilty ..

 

Eh?

 

What do you base that on?

 

The colour of their skin? The Sunday People?

If these guys are so innocent, then why were they in the frame in the first place. Was a perfectly random selection made for an investigation lasting months. And a raid involving 250 coppers and hundreds more staff made purely on a whim.

Further more why did the guy start fighting with the police, steal a gun and fire off a shot? These are not the actions of innocent people mixed up in something they do not understand.

What amuses me is the report that the injured guy was in his 'pyjamas', as if he was in flanellette stripy things people wear in bed.

Pyjamas are the day to day street clothes of people who live in warmer climes, and are now to be seen in any city street, along with women dressed like The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.
