Attorneys, no matter how vile their clients may be, are required to give them the best possible defense.
When the client is obviously guilty, as in the case of Scott Roeder, the man who gunned down Dr. George Tiller in the middle of Sunday services at a Wichita church, the lawyer has to reach for something, anything, to put his client in a better light.
That being said, when Roeder’s attorney compared his client to Rosa Parks during closing arguments, he crossed the line.
