Keeping A Straight Face...

This article slightly details James Secrest II, attorney at law defending his client.  His client is Dr. Scott Harrington>  Perhaps Harrington is better known as the negligent dentist from Tulsa, OK, who may have exposed 7,000 people to Hepatitis, HIV & possibly other things.  

Secrest, says for 35 years his client has been an oral surgeon with an impeccable record.  Unless being impeccable can some how undo these people's exposure to who knows what because of negligent practices, then who gives a damn.  All his clean record shows is that he was never reported before.

Seriously, what class do lawyers take to be able to defend actions like this without cracking up?  Are they just natural born bullshitters or do they have to classes to perfect their crap?  Excuse me, I meant craft.   Really, I did.

I understand it's the nature of the US legal system, but there are some folks out there, that would be damned hard to defend.  It would seem like if Harrington screwed up, the best thing would be to come clean about it ASAP.  Maybe he might be able to salvage something of his career, if he did that.   Now, he's probably going to be known forever as the dentist who gave people HIV & tried to lie his way out of it.

Cya...
