I'm an Attorney who is currently representing a man who raped his own six month old baby.


Well, what actually happened is that this man I'm representing apparently told his wife that she should not worry about taking their baby to day care, that he would take her himself as he was off from work. When the wife got back from work, she asked him if he had picked the child from day care yet, and his response was no. The wife went to day care to pick up the child herself and she was told the child was not seen at the day care that day.

Apparently, she went back home and asked this man what was going on, and he said he did know what was happening. So, the wife started wondering why her husband was still in bed at about 4 pm and showing no concern that their six month old baby was missing.

She got angry and removed the sheets he was covering himself with and she was shocked to see her husband on top of her lifeless baby. The baby died whilst her father was still trying to force himself on her and his peniis got stuck inside her private part. That's why he was covering himself.

I remember when I went by their house to talk to my client, the rapist, that woman said to me " I hope you will also represent the man who will rape your daughter one day"

Her words really touched me and right now I feel like quiting everything, and just focus on teaching. I'm also a part-time lecturer in TUT, a University in South Africa. Teaching Commercial Law.


So, help me good people. Should I go ahead and fight for this man even though I know he is guilty. Or should I quit and focus on teaching?

Ask the guy if she came? Very important

You from South Africa kom here to find advice. Advice on whether to represent a man who raped his baby to death. Nothing to tell you sha. The person below me has an advice tho.

As for you. You are a sadistic sick füçk. You must be the type that m@sturb@tes to child porn. The thunder that will fire you is contemplating whether to use chainsaw to hack off your lifeless body or just pour acid on you.

That is ruthless!

BRutaL

Omo na mental case. He should go for psychic therapy

You Wana defend a man who raped his daughter




Bravo.



I knw if I tell u smth, some stvpid mod will ban me so I rather not even comment

You should ask yourself what kind of battle you are fighting. One to keep a rapist/paedophile on the streets? What do you think your conscience will tell you 10 years from?

Mr Attorney bia here,do u knw what is called jungle justice,thats what ur pathetic child rapist client deserves


i mean d bas.tard should be castrated with blunt kitchen knife nd the forcefully cassava stalk should be forced into his a-nus

Will you be able to sleep well at night after representing such an animal in court?

I don't really believe your story sha. Hope you know it's wrong to reveal information about an ongoing case, especially on social media

It doesn't matter if you believe or not. But I am too old to fabricate stories like these.

Lol.... Bro, we follow you go law school?

Masikay:

I don't think I understand what you mean by that. Could you please rephrase your question?

On a more serious note though... That guy is seriously sick. He deserves to be roasted
Biko don't represent such trash.

Thanks for a mature response.

You've got a conscience...why not drop the case and let another lawyer handle it thereby getting your mind off it or you just go to court and testify against him even tho you're his defendant

OP really did not disclose the names of the parties involved or his name. U'd complain if for example op was Barry Roux and he came here and said "Oscar Pistorius did admit murdering Reeva Steenkamp. Should i represent him even thou I know he is guilty?"

You have a point. Thanks.

If you are indeed a real solicitor what you are doing is unethical, and should get you disbarred.Regardless of what the person is accused of your job is to represent him in a court of law. You cannot have moralistic objections and be a lawyer, it's best if you leave the profession as your advice will be clouded by the fact that you have already passed judgement, you have to be neutral but coming to a social media site to weigh pros and cons about representation when there are legal ways of doing it does not sit well with me.

Legally speaking, you're right.

But damn it! Why on earth will a father raped his own just six months old baby!?? God damn it!

Op, well the choice is yours as a legal representative to either stand for him or not. But if I were you, I can never bring myself to defend such wicked act!

You seem emotional over this, why?

I will reiterate my earlier point, you cannot go into that field and pass moralistic judgement that conflicts with the legal process. His job is to argue in his clients defence and have the best outcome for him from a legal perspective. He is biased already so how can he be impartial? The actions of his client are heinous that I agree with the way he is handling the matter that I find quite unsavoury.

Go to South Africa and report him.

This is discussion your response shows lack of depth.

Doubt you're a lawyer.

Cos i'm confused a defence attorney will type all this.

Lawyer's look at the facts in a case not the moral aspects, after all everyone has the right to fair legal representation.

If u don't want the case, u pass it up, if u ain't feeling criminal defense you become a prosecutor #simple

don't come here claiming this case makes u wanna become a full time lecturer.

I hail

This Raine80 woman is something else. She is more concerned about OP's principles instead of giving him a proper advice. OP did not come here to have his principles questioned. He's human, he can develop a conscience anytime. He was ready to put aside the horribly immorality of his client's acts and perform his constitutionally mandated position of providing defence under the law until the woman told him she hopes he will also represent the man who will rape his daughter one day. My advice, quit and focus on being a lecturer.

Its s matter of opinion feel free to disagree I have no issues with that. My point of view is just that a point of view now if you want to dissect it and put it in categories then that's up to you.

The highlighted text is evil, inhumane and sadistic. Stop behaving like an animal. How do you know OP has not looked into the facts? What if he has looked into the facts, and knows for a fact that his client is guilty? Do you know it's unethical and illegal for an attorney to deceive a court knowingly. If a client tells an attorney that he's guilty, the latter can't say the client is innocent in court. He would be a party to his perjury by doing so.

You say you are a lawyer but from your post I do not think you've mastered the principles of partisanship, neutrality and non-accountability..

You have to zealously work towards defending your lawyer without any moral obligations held.


You do know that a lawyer is not morally accountable for fulfilling their professional duties.
If defending a guilty person is not something you can do, don't go into criminal defense. Your job is to defend him even if you think he is a fu.c.king piece of shyte who deserves the conviction..

If you do not want to defend this rapist, that's totally fine but if you chose to represent him then it's your sacred duty as his defense lawyer to do everything in your power to defend him.
