Any attorney working to save that satanic monster has to be equally evil.

John Wayne Gacy is dead. The attorney is no longer bound by lawyer client priveledge. Looks like he can blab all he wants now.

I disagree he had the right to a lawyer like anyone, he was innocent till proven guilty

I agree. But that attorney worked to to save that sadistic bastard from the death penalty. That was her quest per her account and pure evil in my opinion.

Just doing a job. Is the system perfect? No. But it could be worse. What if gacy was innocent? He deserved a trial and a jury to decide what if anything is the punishment. There was proof against him and he got executed. System worked.

I agree with both of you. It was explained to me when OJ Simpson was acquitted. It shows that people can get a fair trial (even if you need money for it). However, just as there is jury nullification, a lawyer can hold back from doing everything they can to get an obviously guilty client acquitted. But that can lead to grounds for a retrial if found out.
