Senior Lawyer Explodes/Schools Stupid TV Anchor

submitted by aspartam

1 decade 6 years ago

"i don't have to convince myself. i am only convinced that the man is entitled to a fair trial. he is entitled to a good lawyer"

From what I understand, the anchor thinks Ram Jethmalani Senior Lawyer Shouldn't defend an accused. He explodes, She Doesn't Back Off! He calls the whole thing "Bullshit". Civil discourse ensues.

After reading about this extremely controversial case, I have unlimited respect for the man. Wow. Basically, Jessica Lall (a model) was shot in front of 400 people, execution style. He decided to defend the accused murderer, making him extremely unpopular with everyone from his family to the masses.

That was the best video Ive seen on here in a long long long time.
Despite the accent, that lawyer is SPOT on.

Media hyping high profile cases and prejudicing the population one way or the other is stepping over the bounds of what the press is supposed to do. This reporter just could not get that through her thick skull.

"Why are you defending the indefensible ?"
"Why are you defending this man ? "
"Some people believe he is guilty, why are you defending him ?"

....my GOD, the sheer ignorance.

It is not for the press, nor the public to decide whether a man is guilty or not, or if he is to even receive a fair trial, that is what our court system is for, and to put your foot into that arena and claim any kind of moral high ground, asserting that you have a judicial right to bring "public opinion" into a court case like that is TOTALLY unprofessional.

HUGE respect for the lawyer.

This is great. He is a good lawyer, a good person and absolutely right.

ARRRRGH I HATE PEOPLE SOMETIMES THIS FUCKING BINT IS SO THICK. FUCKING MEDIA

She can't figure out the difference between "defending a person's actions" and "defending a person in court". They are quite different, and she has no place interviewing him without that understanding.
