I have been a military lawyer for almost 30 years. I represented people as a defense attorney in the military that were charged with some pretty horrific acts. And I gave them my all. This system of justice that we`re so proud of in America requires the unpopular to have an adequate and -- an advocate. And every time a defense lawyer fights to make the government do their job, that defense lawyer has made us all safer.
