Why would you represent a guilty client?
How can you represent someone charged with murder in the first degree?
How can you be currently representing ten such people?
Why would you do that?
I asked Dick McNeil, a former US Marine, who can tell you the number of months and days he served in Viet Nam, those very questions.
His answers were simple and direct.
He once tried a capital case three times. First time - hung jury.
Second time - hung jury. Third time - Not Guilty.
Dick loves being a criminal defense attorney, a craft he learned well in the military, now practicing in the eastern part of North Carolina.
A fascinating conversation.
