Local and law-talking folk, talk to me about this one. I'd like to vote Derek Tran for Congress (I don't like Michelle Steel) and the negative ads all

talk about the awful people he's defended in court.

Isn't that a defense attorney's job? Should this really rule against him?

Responses:

My opinion of Michelle Steel was her saying something to the effect that she was "anti-immigrant." I read that as 'anti-Hispanic immigrant." - Meg Oct 6, 10:31 1
- "Steel was born in Seoul, South Korea.[2] Her father was born in Shanghai to Korean expatriate parents." - ty97 Oct 6, 11:19
Every defendant deserves a strong advocate. I do recall this line of attack being used again Hillary Clinton as well -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 10:20 6
- but he wasn't doing this as a public defender, he was doing this in private practice. the cases you choose to take should count for something, right? -- nm - colin Oct 6, 11:20 5
  - Which means he probably was a good enough lawyer to actually do a suitable job given how overworked most Public Defenders are. - Will Hunting Oct 6, 12:12 1
    - Reached it to a place to a public defender friend. She basically said the same. Poor morals, bad decisions or anti-social behavior should not mean - colin Oct 6, 16:25
  - John Adams says what? -- nm - znufrii Oct 6, 12:11
  - Or he was just in it for the money - which would make him a true politician :/ -- nm - Meg Oct 6, 11:57
  - Even Tim McVeigh deserved a defence. -- nm - Reagen Oct 6, 11:29
good question -- nm - prayformojo Oct 6, 10:14
