Jpyce I have watched many of those shows too. We sure could use more of that type of lawyer--working hard & careing about the client--not just out for the money or fame. I feel like many people who may really be innocent get a raw deal with court appointed attorneys who have too many cases & cant or dont really do a good job. Money seems to talk pretty loud if you are accused of a crime. If you have plenty of dough you get a better defense--& may get off even if you are guilty as sin !
