Temple,
Very well said! While I don't like the idea of spending taxpayers money to defend someone who is clearly by video, guilty, in order to have the law properly followed, they must be defended.

I know that if not properly defended they could later come back to the courtroom and have the sentencing overturned and be out of jail.

That Ms Voiles suggest harm should come to the families of the defense attorney is outrageous!

One day her or some family member may need that criminal defense attornery and then will she still be wishing harm to her own family?

And in some cases the "defense attorney" is court appointed so they don't always get a say in the case they are given. No matter the case they have sworn to uphold the law.

She does not take into account the difficulties the families of the defense attorney's go thru on a regular basis, because of who is being defended.
That is enough harm without being physical. I am sure that you Ms Temple have on more than one occasion defended what your father does to your friends. I commend you for speaking out and supporting your father.

I cannot believe that someone would actually wish harm on a defense attorney's family because the attorney is doing his job. I actually cannot believe that you would wish harm on someone's family at all. That is a terrible thing to say. Every person derserves a fair trial. Yes, it is annoying that we have to pay for these peoples' defense, but that is what our constitution states and that is how the United States judicial system works. On the opposite note, what if the defendant is INNOCENT but everyone THINKS he is guilty. Everyone deserves to go through the court proceedings and get a proper trial. That is a right for being an American.
