One of my students, a retired prosecutor, said that public defenders often
became the toughest judges. They knew that most of what the defense does
is
BS. Perhaps it is not a foregone conclusion that Edwards would be pro
trial
lobby. He might know too much to fall for their crap.


Edwards wasn't a public defender. He wasn't even really a defense lawyer.
