Look up the duties and responsibilities of public defenders. I know a public defender. A very difficult and heart breaking requirement of the law to do their very best, every time.

...

About all that is correct is that she did defend him. Everyone is entitled to a defense in our system, in case you were unaware.

She cracked a joke about polygraphs and comes across as bragging about getting the guy off with about a year for a rape that caused a coma and permanent physical damages.

I found the interview tape disturbing.

listen to it, don't make any judgments- till you hear it. She misrepresented the situation to the judge, too IMHO. because of the spoliation of evidence. It sounds like the rapist was a loser but he was from a rich family.

Anyway, NO I WOULD NOT LIKE HER TO BE PRESIDENT. SHE'S CLEARLY DISHONEST.

...the Democratic nomination for President or being elected President.

I don't know what the OP hopes to accomplish with that.

Again, everyone should research the responsibilities and obligations of a court appointed attorney.

now that is above and beyond the call of duty.

This doc shows:
1) HRC was NOT a public defender, but volunteered.
2) Smeared the girl by implying she was crazy.

Hillary supporters are saying that she had to take the case. She didn't have to. It was a favor for someone she knew
https://twitter.com/retasue47/status/727401625577353217

She even tried to get out of it. You are just making stuff up now.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2014/jul/17/did-hillary-clinton-ask-be-relieved-rapist/

When a judge in a small town asks a legal clinic lawyer for a favor, it isn't a choice.

....her volunteering or doing anyone a favor?

And now tweets are a valid source of the "truth"?

on to post this shit whenever an opportunity arises. They don't care about the right of an accused to have a professional and vigorous defense. They don't care about a lawyer's professional obligations and duties to his/her client. It's "my mind is made up - hang him (and hang his lawyer, too). Very disheartening. Wish they still required Civics classes in High School.

Article published. Hillary was the attorney defending someone who was charged. Who in the hell was Sanders defending? No one, makes lots of difference.

I don't see how that was a necessary part of a vigorous defense.

You just may find more statements like this. Sanders was not an attorney, wrote a terrible article, managed to offend women and then sent it in to be published, what was he thinking?

Unlike this little gem ...

but he is still our best hope for fixing things.

Who even KEN STARR found unbelievable and dishonest.

lolz

You forgot Vince Foster. PLEASE mention him, or money laundering, so I can get CDS Bingo!

Every time someone on here posts this, that is ALL is shows. It's a compliment to Hillary. Everyone who needs a court-appointed attorney should be lucky enough to have one as ethical and vigorous as she was.

Doing anything less for her client than she did -- which many overworked PDs do -- would have been illegal and unethical, and grounds for her license taken away.

So, by all means continue showing the world how ethical HRC is.

THANKS!!!!!!!

That was both cruel and unnecessary. And UNethical.

That's what defense attorneys do, and she was court-appointed. Anything less was unethical. There's a reason why private criminal defense attorneys often don't take these cases. HRC didn't have a choice.

I never get why OPs choose this to smear HRC with, because the smear is ridiculous.

Sorry. Maybe it was a nervous laugh, doesn't matter.

to get a rapistwho she knew was guilty, off.

1990s VRWC lies and breitbart as a source further down this thread

She was a lawyer and it's a crappy job sometimes. I'm sure it sucked having to defend the indefensible.

NICCCCCCCCCE

REALLY?

rightwing crap...well it's all you got now that Bernie has been beaten like a drum.

FUCK YOU!

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Unacceptable to tell another poster fuck you and calling them a troll

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu May 5, 2016, 11:09 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Dragging up a 20 year old bogus charge? I probably would have reacted the same way. STOP this character assassination and you won't be spoken to like that. Perfectly acceptable in today's DU environment. LEAVE IT.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: nope, does not pass the rules ronny

Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Textbook personal attack. Hide.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Normally, I would vote to hide this, but this OP is despicable. They've sourced Breibart and even brought up Kathleen Willey.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: What a kooky election season...
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Easy hide.

Everyone has the right to a defense. 75...you think this is really important?

she for some reason laughed about it.

Supposedly there is tape of this interview.

... Even the guilty ones, then you hardly could be the advocate for criminal justice reform.

http://jezebel.com/about-that-time-hillary-clinton-smeared-a-tween-rape-vi-1593808728

She was ordered to take the case. She managed to get him to take the plea deal, so he didn't go free and she didn't have to testify in open court. From the difference between 2008 and 2016 -interviews, the survivor may never have known that Hillary had put those things in writing until the news media decided to drag it out before the world (she was critical of the people who wrote the stories as much as Hillary in recent interviews.

We have worked to reform laws that allowed rape defense attorneys to slander their prior sexual history, etc, but this case was over 40 years ago. We still need to improve on them, no question.

Remember, she wasn't getting paid to take that case (edit: in the sense of by the client) She was ordered to take the case. And as a defense attorney in that case, she was subject to the Arkansas version, at that time, of this ABA model rule:

When will you be leaving? You know -- tombstone. granite cookie. ppr.

Soon? Certainly not too soon.

This poster will be given a gold star and praised here in GD-Bernie aka Bernie Underground.

Fucking bullshit keep spewing.

I mean "jury" keeps this right wing shit on the page.

which makes the unable to contribute any further to it.

I was attempting hiding the Bill garbage that's more worthy of somewhere else entirely , your response should not be hidden, it is getting kind of horrifying the amount of RW garbage being used, it takes away from fairness and should not be allowed, perhaps you can change it, I got confused u til I saw the results.

But I have to wonder what the end game is here. What is the goal or purpose in mind when one brings up tis kind of nonsense?

She brags about her role in getting the guy off and laughs about knowing he was actually guilty---and NEVER does she show an ounce of sympathy for the victim.

Those are facts.

Awesome.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu May 5, 2016, 07:39 PM, and voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Agreed. To quote Skinner in an answer he recently gave someone in the Ask the Administrators group:

"Frankly I find it appalling that anyone on DU would use sources like The Blaze, The Weekly Standard, The Daily Caller, or Breitbart to tear down any Democrat. Whenever I'm on a jury for stuff like that I vote to hide it. But apparently some DUers seem to buy into the old adage that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." But let's be clear: These websites are not our friend."
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Breitbart and the toe sucker? Sad. Just sad.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Yeah, Breitbart is just disgusting.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: morris said what he said.

I'd self delete if I were you

his head in shame?

And comes to a stop on this nonsense again.
