Defending People

Thanks to Gideon of A Public Defender for this quote from New Haven public defender Tom Ullman:

It would be a terrible message if I didn’t take this case. There was never any hesitation in my mind about taking it. As a lawyer, I would always rather be on the side that’s advocating for someone’s life rather than planning, plotting, strategizing and intending to kill someone.

Sometimes all you can say is “amen.”
