re: Joel Guy jr 7 guilty verdicts on killing and dismembering his parents.

For me it's the cases where people should know better. You take a 19 year old kid who grew up in the ghetto or the trailer park getting arrested for murder, robbery or drugs. In almost all of those cases, the client is largely a product of his environment. The crimes may be horrible, but you can rationalize why they occurred.

Then I would do Family Court cases where the wife is falsely accusing the husband of molestation to get more child support or leverage for a better property settlement. Or the husband who insists you ask a sobbing wife in a deposition if her 2nd term miscarriage was actually an abortion, knowing that it wasn't. You can't rationalize that kind of evil. I couldn't get that shite out of my head.

Yeah, that's why I represent the people in your first paragraph but not your second...

Closest I've ever come to practicing family law is standing in on a few non-support matters. I'll take my murder clients any day over that shite.
