Can you be a defense legal representative and be a Christian, too?
Are there any Christian defense lawyers out within? If so, how do you do it? How do you defend people you know for example that they kill or raped someone and then attack the victim and try to breed the victim look bad to gather your client?
Answers:
Everybody deserves a fair trial. It is not up to the defense advocate to decide who is innocent and who is guilty. Just recently, a man be acquitted of rape because DNA evidence showed he was innocent. Unfortunately, he have already died in prison. Maybe if he had a better defense attorney, he would have been competent to live a normal life. I hope something approaching this never happens to you, but then again, you might not be black.

Lawyers are the scum of the land, (see Berry Sheck, and Johnny Cochran of OJ infamy). Most that I have known be dirty, liars, and thieves who would do, or say to win. Defense Lawyers, Divorce Lawyers, and Lawyers who sue relations. I find it hard to believe they can be Christians.

One answer could be because if you actually read the bible... Rape and Murder are encouraged... They are solitary trying to get people doing god's work to not be punished...
Came Not To Send Peace
"Think not that I am come to dispatch peace on earth: I came not to transport peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother contained by law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." (Matthew 10:34-37)
Comment
These words of Jesus confirm the unbelievable notion that Jesus did not come to establish peace, but a bit to send the sword and to put man against his family. So much for family unit values. (See also Luke 12: 51-53, Luke 12:49 and Luke 14:26.)
I Come To Send Fire
"I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?" (Luke 12:49)
"Suppose ye that I am come to pass peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but a bit division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother within law against her daughter in imperative, and the daughter in law against her mother contained by law." (Luke 12:51-53)
Comment
Jesus did not come to send peace, but fairly fire and division among the family. So much for the idea of a conciliator Jesus and the modern concept of "family values." (See also Luke 14:26)
Jesus Not Entirely Good
"And behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what appropriate thing shall I do, that I may have eternal time? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none obedient but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, hold the commandments." (Matthew 19:16-17)
Comment
Most Christians believe that Jesus, not only lived as the Son of God but God in the flesh. Consider that Jesus here call "none good but one, that is, God," pointing to an entity separate from himself (also see Matt. 5:48)
Also details that because of the belief that none other than God "is" good suggests that Jesus must not hold behaved in an entirely obedient manner himself.
Some early Gnostic cults (judged as heretics by the orthodox church) believed Jesus as the Devil contained by the flesh and these verses suggests that He was the different of good-- Evil in the disguise of God.
Jesus' servants would fight
"If my empire were of this world, then would my servants punch-up, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my territory not from hence. " (John 18:36)
Comment
Jesus here gives Pilate an excuse for his predicament and, amazingly, makes the claim that his servants would skirmish for him if this world represented his kingdom. If Jesus' servants would fight for him, afterwards what does that say about a harmonious world on earth or in glory?
In effect, Jesus here complains about his deliverance to the Jews which would organize to his crucifixion, something that God supposedly ordained for the purpose of salvation of sinners (according to believers). So much for that theory.
Happy To Kill Children
"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." (Psalms 137:9, KJV)
"How blessed will be the one who seize and dashes your little ones Against the rock." (Psalms 137:9, New American Bible)
"Happy the man who shall seize and smash your little ones against the rock!" (Psalms 137:9, New American Bible)
"a blessing on anyone who seize your babies and shatters them against a rock!" (Psalms 137:9, Jerusalem Bible)
Comment
Ask a Christian friend whether he or she should feel happy to bustle a child against the rocks. Your friend will most likely stare at you in horror, much smaller number believe this idea exists in their divine Bible.
Many Churches have found this verse fairly embarrassing. It gives no wonder why priests, Jews, and Christians alike, who quote from Psalms 137, other leave out this last elegy. (See also Isaiah 13:16; Hosea 13-16)
Hate Them!
"Surely thou will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. For they speak against thee scandalously, and thine enemies take thy identify in vain. Do not I hate them, O LORD, that dislike thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them near perfect hatred: I count them mine enemy." (Psalms 139:19-22)
Comment
A message of hate from the, supposed, inspired words of God against anyone who takes God's heading in vain or who goes against God.
Faith within one's belief produces a barrier to further investigation. Religious groups that differ in beliefs from other societies cannot see former their own barriers. When hate enter into the prison of their beliefs, the seeds for violence to work out against other societies come to full bloom.
Hate Your Family!
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)
Comment
This remarkable statement of abhor by Jesus directly contradicts the idea of a loving Christ. If one must hate their father, mother, wife, children, brethren and sisters and even themselves, within order to become a disciple of Jesus, one must question Christ's view love, family, and decency. (See also Luke 12:51-53, Matthew 10:34-37.)
Note: A few desperate apologists attempt to dismiss this epic claiming that the word 'hate' here really doesn't mean what it says. The problem beside this approach boarders on complete deception and the ironic dismissal of the Bible and Biblical scholarship. The word 'hate' here comes from the ancient Greek word 'miseo' which method hate (from the primary 'misos' [hatred]). If any synonym could substitute for this word, it would come from a word like 'detest,' 'loath,' or 'despise.' Moreover, virtually adjectives Bibles translate the term as hate. To deny this intent process to deny the Bible and the alleged word of Jesus.
By reading the Bible one might acquire the idea that judging another human mortal is wrong. It is also wrong to bear false witness against one's neighbor. Until all the facts hold been established and guilt can be determined to the best of a human's ability, a man wishes a defense attorney in this country (USA).
The true and only Good Judge is Jesus Christ. Until He comes we are stuck near corruptible men to do it for the legal system. Since the legal system is adjectives about appearances and not about true equality, it is a defense lawyer's job to work circumstances and semantics in establish to manipulate the imperfections of the directive in order to gain a success. It is shameful but in this country you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of regulation. Interesting it says a court of law and not a court of even-handedness or truth....
The defense lawyer can litter to take the cases he doesn't believe in.
I couldn't, but I can see how some can. If you look at the law as a shell hobby and the truth is hidden beneath one of the shells, a lawyer is trying to preserve the truth from coming out in an effort to tap a corrupt legal system.
Interesting interview.
I couldn't do it, and I'm an atheist.
A crimminal legal representative? I mean... those kind of lawyer that lies a lot to defend outlaws? No, it's against the bible.
If I was a defense lawyer, I would hold to get to the truth. And if I knew that they be guilty I would push them to confess and tell the truth. If they wouldn't, then I would own to resign as their lawyer as a conscientious objector.
The whole purpose of a court audible range anyway is to get to the TRUTH!
there is a place in the deepest pits of hell for lawyer
Yes. As Winston Churchhill stated "Democracy is a horrible form of government...except for all the rest."
There IS no model system of justice known to mankind, except God. My wife used to work contained by a law office as a secretary up to that time we got married, and on more than one occasion, I aligned my girlfriend (at the time) with a tableful of lawyers at a restaurant.
One of them be a Christian, and I asked him face to face almost verbatim the put somebody through the mill you are now asking "How can you in polite conscience defend someone you believe is guilty, knowing the facts of the case as most attorneys find out during the discovery process?
I admired his answer. He said "You enjoy to have faith that the facts will be revealed, and the innocent or guilty punishment is NOT up to me, it is the jurys decision. It is my job to offer my client the best defense I know how."
I know that there is a lot of criticism of lawyer among society at large, and most people judge as highly of them as they do used car salesmen, but that judgment can change dramatically if you are ever FALSELY accused of something.
Attorneys are REQUIRED to provide a enduring number of hours per year pro bono services as a condition of continued membership in their pole association, so, just because someone cannot AFFORD an attorney, doesn't mean they will be assigned a "flunkie" by the court. They may acquire a really sharp lawyer.
As the Christian attorney I questioned also correctly pointed out, what happen to a righteous man wrongly sentenced to die? He is executed and sent to his eternal reward, which is Heaven, what has he lost?
As Christians, we KNOW that eventually ALL wrongs will be righted. Christ is the FINAL judge, and he know the truth without DNA evidence.
