<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jonny oneal, post: 2418870, member: 70367&quot;]Retired, thank God. Defending persons accused of a crime who are actually guilty can take a toll. Defending a person accused who is not guilty, however, takes a much harder toll. If i lose and he/she goes to prison, JJ&amp;M, is that hard to handle. I had to do that several times until I appealed and had the case reversed with instructions to dismiss or to give the accused a new trial. Also hard to handle were the cases where I knew the cops had framed my client by &quot;finding&quot; a substance illegal in a pocket, car or house. I represented more clients at one point who had been busted thru illegal means or had evidence planted or where the cops had skimmed half the illegal substance, particularly coke, and the money for themselves. i informed the prosecutor this was happening, both framing and skimming, and after years of litigation in federal court many of these clients were released and the cops who had done it--there were four or five in the drug unit then who practiced this form of &#039;justice&#039;--were themselves prosecuted and sent to federal country clubs. am i an attorney? hell yes. you&#039;re reading proof.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
