Lawyers should not be charged with the same crimes as their clients. Trials related to political charges are not in accordance with human rights.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Lawyers are for only what is right.
Our first concern is the security of the lawyers because without security you can't possibly have a fair trial, if trial at all, and that's not been adequately attended to.
No one politician should be allowed to judge the guilt, to charge an individual, to judge the guilt of an individual and to execute an individual.
No one can just file a charge and go directly to a jury trial. That just cannot happen.
Lawyers claim that their clients have been grossly mistreated, which is what criminal defense lawyers are paid to do.
Most lawyers aren't trial lawyers. Most lawyers, even trial lawyers, don't get their problems solved in a courtroom. We like to go to court. It seems heroic to go to court. We think we're the new, great advocates, better than anything we've seen on TV, and we come home exhilarated by having gone to court.
Sadly the job security of lawyers has been ruined, so they are less willing to defend political defendants.
In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.
A trial without witnesses, when it involves a criminal accusation, a criminal matter, is not a true trial.
Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is not punished.
