Why would anyone defend a pedophile?

No, you duck! You are deranged! How "clear" does it have to be said? The pedophiles who "ARE" pedophiles, and it is a "fact" that they are such, should "not" be allowed to live
or be in prison! They do "not" get healed or better with time.
In fact, most of them get worse! Deranged "is" a good de
scription for pedophiles.....And why in the hell are "you" defending them and the government? Hmmm....You have the right to feel the way you do about this, and I have the right to "my" feelings on it. However, it is people like you that keep these sick people fed, clothed, and medically just fine, so they are "okay" when they get out! !@#$%^ YOU!

because, here is the deal sometimes people are falsely accused of a crime. Then of course there is pure greed which fits most Lawyers, sorry but you guys are real doo doo heads

Hate to break this to you , kid, but this is *still* America. EVERYONE has rights, no matter what kind of slug they are. Maybe you'd feel more comfortable living in Communist China?

I asked my mother the same question. I never did understand how she or anyone else could do such a thing. I was told that I should forgive him (her perverted twisted husband). He had at least four victims spanning twenty years and used to work as a janitor in public schools, so who knows how many more there were?

The answer is quite simple- READ your constitution!!!!!!
Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty! How can you prove someone guilty without a legal trial? This is a NO BRAINER- GENIUS!!!!!

Even though it seems that people who abuse animals spend more time in jail for that crime than people who are pedophiles, they still have the right to be defended and innocent UNTIL proven guilty.

The accused may be innocent!

Maybe you should leave the law making to those with a bit more wisdom than yourself.

By "defend" do you mean, represent them as a lawyer? Or "defend" as in, always placate and downplay what they do?

A defendant's got the right to a court-appointed attorney if the court finds they can't afford one themselves. If the court appointed you, you could plead that you wouldn't be able to do a good job representing them because your feelings of personal revulsion against the person are too strong for you to objectively do a sufficient job representing them. But it's up to the court if it buys that or not. So a lawyer can get stuck with one that way.

The other way you could get "stuck" with it is of your own doing.
I heard of an attorney who was so short on business and so just barely scraping by that the attorney agreed to represent a known pedophile. The attorney's credibility took a big hit for it. But that's I think the only other way, that somebody chooses that.

Myself, back when I was a lawyer in practice, I would have waited tables for 6 months at a dingy diner as a 2nd job rather than represent a pedophile UNLESS I was ABSOLUTELY convinced they were innocent. But the $$$$ somebody could offer still couldn't ever "convince" me, know what I mean?

Scumbags have the constitutional right to a fair trial and the right not to have unconstitutionally-obtained or inadmissible evidence used against them. But that's about it in my book. A fair trial doesn't mean a star defense attorney either. Some peophiles were I'm sure victims themselves, but that can't excuse what they did. That's what they're entitled to - that's it.

They have a right to a defense, they are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Right... well, everyone has their rights, no matter how terrible they are, this is America. That's what makes America America.

Ask the ACLU or you friendly lib-socialist democrat congressman.

The ACLU loves pedophiles.
