Legal Ulcer

Interview with Notorious Lawyer Jacques Vergès: SPIEGEL ONLINE - "He defended 'Carlos the Jackal' and Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie."

Thinking about this guy definitely makes my ulcer worse...

Someone has to defend these evil people, but Verges seems to like it. Here is his view on trials, "In every trial, a drama unfolds in front of the public, a duel between the defense and the prosecution. Both tell stories that are not necessarily true, but possible. One is declared the victor in the end, but this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with justice."
