I personally never crossed a line, on either side, did my job (prosecutor and defense) with passion, compassion and honor.
What is being said is tantamount to stating it is impossible to be filled with the Holy Ghost and be an effective defense attorney.
I would of course disagree, and in a very rare departure from my public persona offer myself as an example.

I'm sure there are bad experiences to be had in any profession. The tragedy of bad experiences in the legal profession is that sometimes it is a life or death situation.
That being said, I have a few questions...
In layman's terms, what is due process?!
What are the rules of conduct ensuring that due process has been achieved?!
Can an attorney refuse to represent someone whom they know or believe to be guilty...let's say a rapist is caught in the act or a man is arrested with the bloody knife in his hand and the dead man at his feet?!
