It's far more moral to be a defense attorney because generally you're mitigating the unjust penalties threatened. So, I would sleep sound at night knowing I kept someone from the chair, or from being caged for drugs or prostitution. Unfortunately, the system is weighted towards punitive measures, which tend not to work for the most part. There's lots of good info on this, but culturally it's a sickness in society that people want others to suffer. Ironically, that creates worse criminals.
"[...]culturally it's a sickness in society that people want others to suffer. Ironically, that creates worse criminals" You are so right about this. Violence towards toward the violent will only bring more violence.
Maybe so, but defending actual criminals is no where near moral. A murderer should accept responsibility for the crime he has committed. It's not moral to defend the man who committed a crime; it's encouraging evil.
Justin Pathrose Not everyone who is charged with a crime is guilty that's why you have trials, sometimes a good lawyer is the only defence against crocked cops, overzealous prosecutors {crowns in Canada } blind judges and unlawful Governments. Isn't it more immoral not to give a person the RIGHT to defend themselves in court ?
And he would have killed him self Because he’d be racked with so much guilt for the rest of his miserable life For the death of an amazing human being at the ripe old age of 12 13 or 14
***** Well seeing as you're commenting on a video where he talks about who is dad is i assumed you would know. Basically he was an oil tycoon. Acting school might not of cost as much as tuition fees for being a lawyer, but he was already studying towards being a lawyer when he decided to take his chances acting. That first year of fees cost money and he decided on gambling on acting instead. Most people would commit if they had already spent a year's worth of fees. The point you were missing was that he had the freedom to take this gamble and throw away the year's worth of fees to pursue acting. Not a luxury everyone would have.
theres been a lot of broke basically homeless people get into acting. im sure for every one that made it there 1000 that stayed broke unless they decided they wasnt going to make it and moved on. plus lots of people go to college and realize they dont like the profession they are in then maybe through some chance they try pottery making or welding or carpentry and find their love in that after spending years and money on college
I hear you I'm from the same city as Matthew but on the poor side of u can see yourself doin it believe me it will happen regardless if u feel it in your heart that u have at least the littlest chance it can still happen which is something to look forward to and keep u going :)
He ditched the lawyer path before he would have got in the hole for it to become a PA, not an actor. He became an actor almost by accident in a sense by meeting that director and being given a bit part in Dazed and Confused, but his original plan according to his interviews was to get a PA job after completing studies in media... his father was not a "tycoon" but a gas station owner, who would routinely con himself out of good deals for the sake of dealing.
i dont understand the Texas accent thing. most people who are born in Texas do not have an obvious , definitive accent like this. He is OBVIOUSLY from texas, or at least the south. most everybody i know here in texas , they do not have an accent
Alan Lloyd depends where your from in texas. Texas is a big place. Plus accents are only apparent to certain people. Like if you're use to someone's way of talking you might not notice their accent.
Depends on your parents and their accents. My mother and father from Arkansas. My mother had an extreme southern accent, her mother from West Virginia. I'm born and raised in Oklahoma, and have a heavy southern accent. Most people my mother met thought she was from the deep south. Since I grew up hearing my mother's accent it would make sense that I would imitate her.
