Is It Proper…? Should a lawyer defend someone in court whom he thinks is guilty? What if the man is truly despicable (e.g., a child killer)? | The Jewish Press - JewishPress.com | Jewish Press Staff | 12 Adar 5781 – February 24, 2021


 
Rabbi Ben Zion Shafier
We are the chosen nation and much is expected from us. We are supposed to be an
or lagoyim – a light unto the gentiles – and defending a person who committed a horrendous crime is not something we would expect an upright moral person to do.
While there is a logic to America’s adversarial system – which operates under the assumption that justice will prevail – nevertheless, I’d be hard-pressed to believe that it’s proper for a moral person to willingly help a person whom he knows to be guilty escape punishment for his crime.

But the same passage goes on to report that Rabba and Rav Zeira became so drunk on Purim that Rabba slaughtered Rav Zeira with a knife. The latter was revived only by a miracle. When Rabba invited Rav Zeira to a Purim celebration the following year, Rav Zeira wisely declined.
