I know a court appointed defense attorney that has to defend cases like this...

He 'lives' with himself knowing that he is protecting the constitution. If we don't protect the rights, and follow due process, of the most evil, disgusting, vile people, then they start to erode for all of us.

That whole 'presumed innocent' is really important in this country. It forces the government to follow the constitution for everyone. Try living in a country where you are presumed guilty until proven innocent.
