SEPTEMBER 27th to OCTOBER 11th, 2011
CLAIM OF INNOCENCE
by LAURA CALDWELL
SYNOPSIS:
Forbidden relationships are the most tempting. And the most dangerous.
It was a crime of passion-or so the police say. Valerie Solara has been charged with poisoning her best friend. The prosecution claims she's always been secretly attracted to Amanda's husband...and with Amanda gone, she planned to make her move.
Attorney Izzy McNeil left the legal world a year ago, but a friend's request pulls her into the murder trial. Izzy knows how passion can turn your life upside down. She thought she had it once with her ex-fiance, Sam. Now she wonders if that's all she has in common with her criminally gorgeous younger boyfriend, Theo.
It's Izzy's job to present the facts that will exonerate her client-whether or not she's innocent. But when she suspects Valerie is hiding something, she begins investigating-and uncovers a web of secret passions and dark motives, where seemingly innocent relationships can prove poisonous...

Would I defend someone I thought was guilty? While I certainly don't think innocent folks should be punished, a vigorous defense for the innocent necessitates a vigorous defense for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I think the law is so often manipulated so that truly guilty people aren't punished,and I don't agree with that. So, I guess my conclusion is that I wouldn't defend someone I knew to be guilty - even though I support their right to that defense. Whew!

I could defend someone if I thought they were guilty since I would be guilty of malpractice if I didn't.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't defend someone if I thought they were guilty. If they were really guilty and got off I couldn't live with myself especially if they murdered someone.Please enter me in contest. Tore923@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI do not think I could. I'd rather be crown lawyer for that reason.

I am not sure that I could defend someone who I knew was guilty. I have worked for a prosecutor's office so my mind has been trained to think the other way.

Tough question. According to our legal system, everyone is entitled to a trial by jury, but I think I would make a better prosecutor than defense attorney.
