They will declare their client is sick ihd cannot be in court be in court when the party is walking the streets. They will secure delay after delay in blind tiger cases until all parties interested ard scittered throughout the earth. They will purposely de fend a man whom they know to lie guilty, finally secure his re lease nnd let him continue his life of crime.
