Really? Ever read "To Kill A Mockingbird"?
Your faux outrage is showing.
Attorney Rodham was assigned the case under duress and she did what she was required to do by the tenants of her profession: her best effort
What more should Rodham have done? Refuse the bargain on behalf of her client and demand a harder sentence for him? She would have been disbarred in a heart beat.

Not to take anything from the little girl but maybe she should have had a better lawyer.
Hillary had a job to do and did what was legally permissible.
I'm no hillary lover but a job is a job.

She was also a lawyer that took an oath to defend people to the best of her ability. She did.
Yeah, sure, she was expected to represent the guy. But she didn't just do that, she got a kick out of knowing she was successfully defending a man who brutally raped a 12 year old. That's not a lawyer, that's a pure psychopath.
Don't you love when someone (uninvited) enters another's mind and decides what they think?
I didn't have to. She was laughing about it.
NO, she wasn't.
I listened to the entire audio.
It is exactly as Gryphon66 said.
I wonder how many folks have even listened to the tape?
I'd wager, probably none.
They don't have to ... they've been told what to say about it.
I guess the bottom line here is that any rational person can look at this situation and see the truth ... and that truth is that there are those who are desperately trying to use Kathy's tragedy for their benefit ... or what they think is their benefit.
That is what blows me away about this. Instead of doing what any CD would do, she drives the underwear to an out of state researcher in order to find MORE damning evidence...instead of having it thrown out by the court like any other time a lab screws up?
This man beat and raped a virgin 12-year-old resulting in a 5-day coma
At 4:50 a.m., the girl walked into a local emergency room, badly shaken. The doctor’s report noted that she had injuries consistent with rape.
She had the option not to take this case.
In 1975, young lawyer Hillary Rodham was appointed to represent a defendant charged with raping a 12-year-old girl. Clinton reluctantly took on the case, which ended with a plea bargain for the defendant, and later chuckled about some aspects of the case when discussing it years later.
As Hillary Clinton wrote in her 2003 biography Living History, she didn't volunteer to represent the defendant, but rather was appointed to the case by the judge:
[Prosecuting attorney Mahlon Gibson] called me to tell me an indigent prisoner accused of raping a twelve-year-old girl wanted a woman lawyer. [Prosecutor Mahlon] Gibson had recommended that the criminal court judge, Maupin Cummings, appoint me. I told Mahlon I really didn’t feel comfortable taking on such a client, but Mahlon gently reminded me that I couldn’t very well refuse the judge’s request.
Finally, Hillary didn't "free" the defendant in the case. Instead, the prosecuting attorney agreed to a plea deal involving a lesser charge that carried a five-year sentence, of which the judge suspended four years and allowed two months credit of time already served towards the remaining year:

Perhaps you'll explain what that has to do with sentencing a man to 2 months incarceration for raping a child.

No, it sounds like rights guaranteed under the Constitution.

Yes, but no one made her take the case.

did you listen to that video you posted??? they seem to had conveniently lost a key piece of evidence thanks to the lab..
kind of sounds like they didn't have much of a case against the guy because of it....
did hillary cut that piece of evidence out of the guys underwear and throw it away herself... or have anything to do with it?? nope!! that's just the way the legal system worked back then....and probably now considering just how many rape kits never make it to the lab!!
listen to the video you posted, she ain't bragging about how she got him off... it's more like she is talking about the systematic insanity of the case!
have proof of that or just hillary's claims like the claim she had one device but she had thirteen devices destroyed?

That is incorrect.
She asked the judge to be excused. He said no.
You wanna blame someone? Blame the judge.

. . . sadly, the right-wing in this country tends to favor the rapists rather than the victims.
How is it that you arrive at this conclusion?

A Clinton campaign donor appoints Bill's girlfriend to a case where evidence was destroyed and a child rapist walks away with a slap on the wrist, yet that doesn't raise any red flags for you?

Are you trying to say something about abortion and rape ??
Your logic is very bizarre and is connected to things that should not be.......
Almost sounds like you would support rapists going free any day over the inability to abort.
And *gasp* being exposed to people who think abortion is not cool.
