Why no misplaced anger directed at the judge who couldn't see through the hired gun's "opinion?" Why no misplaced anger at the lawyer who asked for release? The actors who operate in the criminal justice system, i.e., judges who grant release and the advocates who ask for it, are no more responsible for a defendant's actions than the licensing authorities who grant driving privileges to people who cause accidents or the manufacturers that build fast cars or guns that kill people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-39082364048998104152007-05-15T07:40:00.000-04:002007-05-15T07:40:00.000-04:00What a wonderful thing to say about Ken.

You turn your computer on and lo and behold you have an email from Ken. He has already taken care of the favor you were going to ask him about. That was what Ken Feldman was all about. Everything seemed so easy to him. Everything he did for everyone was done with such delight. He lit up the room when he entered. His smile and warmth was contagious. Nothing was a chore. His good deeds slid of his back as if they waiting just for you. He never ceased to amaze me. Like a magician. He could pull a drop of human kindness out of a silk hat just when it was needed. And that was Ken.

Money was not his God. Justice and an opportunity to be represented ruled his professional life. He did more pro bono than anyone will ever know.

While I think you represent the majority view, I offer this dissent:<BR/><BR/>Only in the rarest of cases do I not consider the karmic consequences for both the client and myself and act accordingly. It may come in the approach to the witnesses; or in plea negotiations; or how I conduct cross or arguments. And whether they are guilty or not, particularly on a sex case, I would argue, is important, if not crucial in devising and measuring one's defense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-38786092656493354762007-05-13T22:44:00.000-04:002007-05-13T22:44:00.000-04:00He was supposed to be a nuetral psychologist (he w...He was supposed to be a nuetral psychologist (he was not acting as the fathers attorney).<BR/><BR/>The key word I use Rumpole is nuetral instead he choose the cash over the welfare of a child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-72346302363946243602007-05-13T20:41:00.000-04:002007-05-13T20:41:00.000-04:006:00 PM.

But you use the term "hired gun." I will tell you that if I was asked to defend a child rapist, I would do so. Not because I approve of it. I do not. But in my profession I cannot draw a line between crimes I approve of and crimes I do not. I would do my very best, and if the client was guilty and the police did their job well, then hopefully justice would be done. But make no mistake about this- if the police did not do their job well, I would have no hesitation in doing my job, regardless of the outcome. That is the system we have choosen, and it breaks down and innocent people go to jail when I or any defense attorney starts making moral judgments about a the conduct of which my client has been accused.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-6636111657794342922007-05-13T19:08:00.000-04:002007-05-13T19:08:00.000-04:00Thanks, DUI guy!Thanks, DUI guy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-78853859672993468702007-05-13T18:00:00.000-04:002007-05-13T18:00:00.000-04:00Rumpole regards Dr. Mosman:I would agree with you ...Rumpole regards Dr. Mosman:<BR/><BR/>I would agree with you on all your points, except that because of Dr. Mosman/Atty Mosman, a little girl was molested by her father.<BR/><BR/>Had he been ethical like the other doctor who examined the girls father and found him to be a danger to the 3yr old girl (as the other doctor did), I might have compassion for his death. <BR/><BR/>He was a hired gun for many.

To you he may have been a "bad man." I have never met him. I do not know him. A lawyer (presumably) posted he killed himself a few days ago. Now, he enters that timeless space we all must some day go to. I have no idea if he lived a good life or a bad life. But I suggest you let him go in peace. And if you cannot do so, find some other outlet to curse him to enternity. Your anger is not mine, and I do not have to take part in your desire to defame his memory.

His commitment and enthusiam for Lawyers For Literacy was an inspiration to the St. Thomas teaching fellows and all of the rest of us involved with the project. When he taught for the project at the homeless assistance center, there was always a sense of excitement in the room-- his smile, his sense of humor and his energy were infectious. I so regret that, although I probably knew Ken as a professional for more than two decades, we only worked closely together for the for the last couple of years and, in that timt, had only scratched the surface of our friendship.But I so would have liked to get to know him better. Whatever brought him to his decision, I hope that he now is resting peacefully--and somehow knows that he is fondly remembered and will be greatly missed.

How about charging the defendant, waiting until he takes a state prison plea, and THEN filing additional charges under a new case (based on same criminal episode) which could and should have been charged originally, and then insisting on a much lengthier prison sentence (because they didn't like the original plea).
