Shouldn’t it be the default and not require the suspect/subject to actually ask for one? Has there ever been any attempt to make that the norm in any countries? I think the only question should be “do you have your own lawyer you like to use, or are you happy enough with the court-appointed one?”
I’m not even sure opting out should be allowed, but I’m open to hearing reasons why that would be a bad system, or indeed a worse system than the one most countries seem to have now. So many miscarriages of justice could have been easily avoided.
Because conviction rates would drop by like 40% overnight thats why.
The slavery business can’t afford that slowdown right now.
We live in hell. This is hell. The bad place. Hades. Tartarus. The Underworld. Etc.
For-profit prisons is a farce against humanity.
Lawyer here! Would just like to say that this is aggressively accurate—Tartarus reference and all.
I can’t imagine how you guys keep it together day-to-day with institutions burning down around you. You’ve got a much closer lens than most. And that much deeper of an insight into just how fucked shit really is.
Mienshao is not only good at martial arts but the practice of law, too? Impressive
Wrong. In hell there are only those that deserve it. Not bystanders and innocents.
Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
Took me a second, was wondering if said this to captain america or iron man.
Really depends on your favorite flavor of spiritual koolaid here.
Some say you’ll burn forever if you’ve merely heard the word of God and not accepted it, others say you’ll burn regardless of if you had the opportunity to receive the word or not.
Some even say nobody ends up in hell forever and everyone gets saved eventually.
Just pick your favorite and let everyone else pick theirs.
Not according to the gnostic gospels.
