Confessions of a Criminal Lawyer

By John P Contini

"John, you're supposed to be this nice, so called Christian lawyer, but then you defend these scumbags who you KNOW are guilty. How can you do that?" Jimmy asked disapprovingly, contorting his face for added effect. "Actually, it's easy, Jimmy. Let me answer you by asking you one better: Why is it that none of the parents whose kids I represent, ask me that question? And when your own kid gets jammed up, you'll be the last guy asking me how I can do what I do; instead you'll be telling me how the police never read Miranda rights to your little angel. It's funny how everyone wants justice for the next guy who stands accused, but justice is the last thing they want when it's someone they love; it's then they want mercy." "A lawyer has to keep eveyone else's secrets; that doesn't mean he has to keep his own." - John Contini "I defend the rightfully accused. If I only defended the wrongfully accused, I'd starve to death." - John Contini "Most people today know that the system is entirely broken. Instead of the once lofty promise of 'innocent until proven guilty, ' the sad and brutal truth is now, 'innocent until proven broke, ' or certainly, 'guilty until proven innocent, ' or 'how much justice can you afford' or 'reasonable doubt for a reasonable fee.'" - John Contini
