Indefensible Quotes

“Law school was, for the most part, full of overindulged kids looking to become lawyers either to please daddy or to bring home the big paycheck.”

“Alberto’s predicament dramatizes a core principle: making a statement to the police is never --never --in a criminal defendant’s interest. Talking to the cops is generally a bad idea, even if you’re the one who called them. This is true whether you are Martha Stewart, who secured a jail term when she foolishly decided to make a voluntary statement to the authorities, or Alberto, who fancied himself a clever jailhouse lawyer, confident that he could get even by manipulating the cops. It is one of the few things that every criminal lawyer will agree on: in the crucible of police interrogation, the police will always win.”
