"ARBITRARY AND CAPRICIOUS"
:
"absence of a rational connection between the facts found and the choice made"
"Everyone, even the guilty criminal--especially the guilty criminal!--needs a companion, a friend, someone to stand with him and for him...
The defense lawyer's job is to force the system to acknowledge that the defendant is not just a social misfit, or a statistic, or a criminal, but a human being with hopes and dreams and fears. A human being who, like any of us, stands in need of repentance and redemption..
The question for the Christian lawyer is not, 'How can you work to get a guilty person off?' The real question is,
'Will you stand by this person, this flawed and sinful human being, and speak a word on his behalf?'
