<p>barrons, I don’t have any problem with people wanting to change the law. I want to change the law a lot, too. I am responding to people complaining about criminal defense attorneys presenting valid cases under the law. Whether or not you like the law, that’s what criminal defense attorneys are supposed to do. If the law is outdated and b.s., and because of that it defines a crime in such a way that you aren’t guilty of it, I don’t expect you to say, “Oh, I am a horrible person. I don’t care that I didn’t technically violate the law, because the law is outdated. Throw the book at me!” I expect you to have a lawyer, and I expect the lawyer to show that you haven’t committed the crime as defined. Or, more realistically, to feint like he’s prepared to do that and then negotiate a favorable plea bargain for you.</p>
