What astounds me most of all is, that though you are dealing with men who have no ties of blood or friendship with the accused but who always champion defendants for a fee, you do not realize that they deserve to feel your anger in its fullest violence. If they and their kind defend the criminals it is proof that they would associate themselves with the actual crimes. Lycurgus. Against Leocrates. Section 138.
