(applause) >> don't you hate the lawyers who defend nasty criminals? is i do when they help murder the get away with it. casey anthony p didn't she chloroform her kid and go out partying. o.j. simpson didn't she stab his wife to death? is they were acquitted because of good lawyers. it is not my job to determine if a person is guilty or innocent every american deserves a defense. they fight hard for herible people, child molesters rapists how can they live with themselves. morgan reamer is head of the association of criminal defense lawyers. how can you live with yourself? >> i have been a criminal defense lawyer my entire life and i am proud of it. the idea that when someone is
7:02 pm
accused of a crime when the short marshals the most awesome power they have the power to prosecute, condemn, em prison, kill and certainly to stigma ties for life they should have a defense lawyer to stand against them. >> when you see the o.j. simpson and casey anthony verdict go down you are comfortable with that? >> i am okay with them putting the government to the test to see if they can prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. >> we have a bigger problem with wrongful conviction than we have with wrongful acquittal. this country is over criminalized. >> meaning too many laws too many people in jail. we will get to that. let me do one more example. hillary clinton was a defense lawyer in the washington free beacon recorded her laughing bragging she got an accused sentence for a man accused of
