Why would a criminal attorney defend a rapist or terrorist?
The "IDEALISTIC" answer is, that under the US system of law - everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty - therefore he believes that he is defending an innocent person. Another perhaps more realistic answer is, a good criminal defense attornyes make a very good living and the more they successfully defend the more money they can charge their future clients.
Is it moral to kill an innocent person to save the lives of the innocent people?
yes
What is an innocent person called?
A Virgin
A person who pretends to be good?
Innocent
Can an innocent person be sent to jail?
Certainly. Many innocent people have been jailed.
What do you think is the bigger problem facing innocent people?
It depends on the context of your question. Innocent people who aren't in trouble with the law don't have a 'problem'. If an innocent person is swept up into a legal difficulty, the biggest problem for the person is proving they are innocent.
What are the advantages of lawyers?
Lawyers help to defend you in legal situations by representing you in court and fighting on your side during those situations. One situation might be if an innocent person is wrongly accused of something they didn't do, and a lawyer is there to prove that.
How is a person a person in the eyes of the law?
guilty untill proven innocent
What does defend mean?
Defend means to protect yourself or others from harm.
Should your legal system allow lawyers to defend people accused of committing severe or unpopular crimes?
Yes. The key word of your question is ACCUSED. Until a person is found guilty, they are innocent. Can you think of anyone that needs a lawyer more?
If person A attacks person B and B can't defend himself can you legally shoot A or only if you are doing it in your own self-defense?
Shooting anyone is bodily harm and possession with a weapon if you don't kill them. If you kill them you will go to prison for either manslaughter or 2nd degree murder. It's not worth it. One person attacking another person without a reason is an offence and you can press charges against them. I'd go with the law as weak as it can be. This person isn't worth going to prison for. Actually, under the law in America, if you are justified in shooting an attacker in self defense you are justified to defend another INNOCENT victim just as if you were defending yourself. The catch is if the person you're defending turns out not to be an innocent victim you could face criminal charges.
What is the legal process by which one is found guilty or innocent?
A person is never found innocent. A person is found guilty or not guilty at the verdict phase of a criminal trial.
