the notion that for a defence lawyer to outright make up baseless, defamatory allegations about the victim constitutes "doïng one's job" is one of the worst things about the justice system
I don't see anywhere where anyone proved Hillary "made up" anything in this case?Here's what she said that's at issue (this is excerpted from the Daily Beast story):
Was Hillary making that up? It is basically the "little bit nutty, little bit slutty" rape defense. But was it a fabrication? The alleged victim (back during the 2008 campaign, when she was asked about this) says that Hillary made it up. Whether she did or not, I don't know. But if she did, is that unethical? Yes, you have to give your client the best defense possible, but is there such a thing as an unethical defense? (If, say, you're making up lies about the alleged victim, possibly to deter them from testifying, rather than simply to get the jury to disbelieve them.)
