Re: The Truth About The Original OJ Case

First and foremost ;- I found your post both intruiging and insightful.

Most criminal defense lawyers believe in the theoretical idea that a defendent that is guilty should still be given the best possible defense because of the overriding concern that people should not be convicted if the government can not prove their case.
I have always had a little bit of a problem with this concept because it leads to the conclusion that if a defendent tells his attorney he did it, the attorney will recomend to his client that he still plead innocent if he thinks the case is winnable.
The implication is that if you commit a crime and are arrested, it is somehow the patriotic thing to do to plead innocent if you expect the government can't prove it. Or it is at least patriotic and ethical for the defense attorney to do that.

What alternative would you suggest that isn't ridicoulously corruptable?

This is way too important a subject to be discussed in a silly OJ thread. Perhaps you would like to start a new one. If not, I will, when I get around to it.
