as a lawyer, you should be demanding that all and every allegation be brought to trial - the only place evidence can be presented with consequence. the court of public opinion (which is so far the only place anything has really happened) cannot be used for adjudication. apparently, though, you've already reached your personal verdict - without the benefit of hard evidence of any sort. how can you do that as a lawyer in good conscience? once the court decisions are handed down, everyone should be satisfied that the outcome, whatever it might be, is truly based on the best legal system this country has to offer. before that, nothing is settled.
