Anyone, including lawyers, knows the difference between right and wrong. Their job is to see their clients get a FAIR trial, not cheat justice.
I think there're two points that don't translate in today's world. There are many who can't figure out the difference between right and wrong, because they have been taught that any means justifies what they think or have been told is a 'right' end. And second, for most lawyers, their job is the work that they elect to take on. Beating the ole dead horse reemphasizes why an insight into character can be so easily and completely brushed under the rug. Are there similarities between one candidate and the village that she helped create?
