"Morning Joe" Scarborough Fact: He helped Dr David Gunn's assassin...

[Cooley Hurd]

...PRO-BONO:

From his Wikipedia page:

In 1993, Michael F. Griffin's family requested that Scarborough represent him at his trial for the murder of abortion provider, Dr. David Gunn. As a young civil law attorney, Scarborough wasn't qualified to defend him in that case but he did help them find a criminal defense attorney and helped shield the family from the media exposure, pro bono.

Helluva guy, eh?:thumbsdown:

1. The very foundation of this nation is based on the

principle that every individual is entitled to competent legal representation, even for the most heinous of crimes.

[Cooley Hurd]

2. That's not the point - he actively helped Griffin and his family pro-bono...

...by shielding them from the press. He was obviously sympathetic to Griffin.

4. "...by shielding them from the press"

reveals nothing about his sympathies. It was his duty to his client.

5. He did this pro-bono...

That reveals EVERYTHING about his sympathies...

6. No it doesn't,

but it is obvious that it would be a waste of time to continue this discussion. The only thing I can say now is to wish you a nice day.

7. Have a nice day, as well...
