Read this for the full story: http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-freed-child-rapist-laughed-about-it/

In short: she was assigned to be the accused rapist's public defender, pleaded with the judge to take her off the case and was denied, did her job as a defense attorney, and the rapist ended up pleading guilty in the end.

Hillary Clinton Freed Child Rapist
Hillary Clinton's role in a 40-year-old rape case became the focal point of a viral meme in 2016, but the claims made about it were mostly inaccurate.

she was assigned and did her job (against her wishes). She did a good job. She did not laugh about the case.

to provide the accused with a vigorous defense, which she did.

Even the judge on the case recently stated that Hillary asked out of the case, but was not allowed out of it.

The fact that the accused was found not guilty is the fault of the prosecution/State mishandling the evidence and not bringing a strong enough case.

Most legal experts agree that Hillary did her job and did nothing wrong.
