Moral Implication


            On June 12, 1994, the entire United States was asphyxiated to the television. One famous man had been arrested for the brutal stabbing murders of his ex-wife and her estranged lover. This famous man seemed clearly guilty. Soon enough he was presumed "guilty" because he was at the scene of the crime, and because of the evidence gathered, fingers were pointed at him; he had no where to run. The press was in the sky, in his trees, and at his door, hounding him for a statement. He went on to hire the best possible attorneys he could. He knew his case would be difficult to prove. The defense lawyers, with their lives on hold, spent endless hours studying the case and gathered the facts. Many times the defense had been labeled "disturbers of the peace," due to the belief that they were lying to cover up their client. The testimonies of witnesses took nine months and encompassed almost 120 people, forty-five thousand pages of evidence and more than one thousand exhibits (CNN 1). A year and half later the defendant, O.J. Simpson, walked away a free man, thanks in part to the legal system that defended him, and his devoted attorneys. The judicial system of the United States places defense lawyers in a position in which their morality must remain in the belief that though defending a large portion of the guilty, there is still that small fraction of the innocent who deserve freedom as much as anyone else This is what being a defense lawyer is all about, doing whatever it takes to defend your clients rights set forth by the constitution. In the legal profession there are two arguing sides in every courtroom, prosecution and defense.
             Becoming a lawyer is no easy task. requiring years of academic and practical training, devotion and a desire to attain that goal. To become a lawyer in the U.S. students must have graduated from an American Bar Association (ABA) certified college. Then they must take and pass the "Bar" exam, a six-hour 200 question test.
