In defense of the defense — what it takes to be a defense attorney
Iâve been asked that sort of question regarding the criminal defense profession more than once after people learn that I am currently covering the ongoing case of Tyler Robinson, who is charged with the murder of Charlie Kirk. After hearing the rhetorical question â underlined with a negative tone â I decided to ask it. Why do people choose to go into criminal defense law?
âI came to criminal defense thinking that I was fighting the good fight, that I was standing up for the poor, the downtrodden, the oppressed against the power of the state,â criminal defense attorney Kathleen Heath said in a 2018 TED Talk. âBut what I quickly learned is that there is another view of a criminal defense lawyer. One that perhaps holds a greater deal of cultural currency. And thatâs the stereotype of the wily criminal defense lawyer â the one who would use verbal tricks, unscrupulous means, technical loopholes to make sure that undeserving, guilty criminals are let back out onto our streets.â

Video: Psychologist testifies on how bias news commentary could taint Robinson’s right to a fair trial
During Friday’s Tyler Robinson court hearing, a psychologist testified on why cameras should not be allowed during Robinson’s pretrial hearings.
