Please don't refer to his lawyer as "dirt bag". Under our system, and the Constitution, everyone gets an attorney, if they want one. I'm not a lawyer and not sure what their professional criteria is, but they are possibly required to take cases that they would never take otherwise.
Just for the sake of a better understanding, am I right or maybe even partially about the lawyers?

Some lawyer might take the case for the publicity it would bring. Think of Casey Anthony or OJ Simpson.
I was a Student and then a Student Director with Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners from 1987-1989 attached mainly to Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater. We handled inmates requests of legal help that involved divorces, name changes, alimony payments, child support, torts and the like. We would have to handle any that requested help as far as I recall. Did not matter what they had done.
My bosses probably as a joke of sorts on me had me represent as a student attorney two boys who burned down a MN school library. I have a MA in Librarianship which my bosses knew about. I did not tell the boys about my love of libraries. Cannot go into any more details than that.
