Will this conversation from decades ago doom her chances in 2016?
Quote:The name of the woman, who is now 52, was withheld for privacy reasons. She decided to speak out after hearing never-before-heard audio tapes released by the Washington Free Beacon earlier this week of Hillary Clinton talking about the trial. In the recordings, dubbed the “Hillary Tapes,” Clinton is heard laughing as she describes how she succeeded at getting her client a lighter sentence, despite suggesting she knew he was guilty.
“He took a lie-detector test! I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs,” Clinton said about her client on the tapes, which were initially recorded, but never used, in the early 1980s
Wow! Now we know why she has a reputation as a heartless biatch.
Quote:” She described how as his lawyer she was able to hire a New York-based forensics expert who “cast doubt on the evidentiary value of semen and blood samples collected by the sheriff’s office.” Clinton wrote that her experience from the trial is what led her to set up Arkansas’ first rape hotline.
Did Clinton take the case voluntarily or was she appointed by the court?

A lawyer's job is to defend the facts in the case, not win at any cost. The victim said that Clinton implied she was emotionally unstable a fabricated the story.

I don't think many will so much argue that point....there is, however, a reason that defense attorneys almost always enter their relationship with a client by not asking "if" they did it. It isn't that they don't care....its about this oath thing and lying.
