In my worst moments as a public defender it feels like the system is so stacked against my clients that I’m just there so they can check the box saying my client had a lawyer while the state throws them into a meat grinder. A lot of people think it should only ever be that way.
Oh us? The criminal defense attorneys? we only ensure that your constitutionally protected 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th (see also 1st, 2nd, 9th, 13th, and 14th) amendment rights actually mean something, excuse us i guess 🙄….
Prosecutor got no client, gets to blame their boss for their decisions, the judge is one of them 9 times out of ten, they sit directly in the juries face, they go first at trial and last, and their biggest opposition is the constitution itself….
