Komisarjevsky Deserves Vigorous Defense
![Over the years, I've run across a fair bit of prejudice against lawyers. I'll not suggest that lawyers don't earn a certain amount of disdain, but when a white, tobacco-chewing, sheriff implied that if I came through his county after dark I'd never leave it, I felt that was a little excessive. My crime was to be representing a black man from New York who I thought was probably innocent of killing a white policeman in Mississippi. As if that were not enough, I had suggested that the sheriff, "Goon" Jones to his friends, might be an itty-bitsy mite racist because he called black people "colored boys" and had poured moonshine over the head of a civil rights worker before shaving his hair off.](http://www.courant.com/media/alternatethumbnails/story/2011-09/64869051-19144049.jpg "Over the years, I've run across a fair bit of prejudice against lawyers.
