He's representing the fascist assassin Jonathan Ross....
Show me a consistent framework of justice where it was okay for John Adams to represent the guys who did the Boston Massacre but that guy (who is a shitbag who murdered someone) shouldn’t be represented.
I agree, he’s a murderer and should be prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law. But representation is part of that law.
How are so many people in this thread saying “yes, Trump bad” but also “I want to do exactly what Trump does but to other people instead”
The implication (I hope) is that noone is representing him that isn't a public defender. This man should be so socially radioactive that only the lawyers ordered by the court consider it.
I'm not saying this is what it's happening here, but I swear I recall a story of a lawyer who knew his client was guilty and wanted him to be put away for life, but defended them to the best of his ability to ensure that they wouldn't get a mistrial on the basis of Ineffective Assistance of Counsel.
Half the country thinks he was actively defending himself from an active shooter. They’re wrong, obviously. But to suggest that social pressure should make him unrepresentable is ridiculous.
I didn't know Ross was being charged, I figured Trump had opted to just give him a medal and a paid vacation.
i think i saw on reddit Madel wrote a memo on how to get "ross legal help form the DOJ or another legal firm and would be totally covered pro-bono" hes a total pos
What a total shitpiece
hes doing it to save face, and also why trump sorta backpadeled on ice, he was trying to boost madel campaign. it includes ross getting charged or SUED.
