Reply #42: It's a different mindset [View All]

[Geoff R. Casavant]

I hope I never decide I can choose who is worthy of good and zealous representation. Of course, I'm not a criminal law attorney, but it seems to me that most people get into that line of work because they want to protect the innocent from governmental overreaching, and if that's the case, you take every legal step to protect your client.

Don't forget the power of a good CYA as well. If DeGuerin didn't at least make the motion to recuse, he would set himself up for a malpractice suit from DeLay later.
