Really good read. And what a dodgy character, in my opinion.

> The only time she has ever turned down a case for reasons of repugnance was when she refused to testify for a man accused of operating the gas chambers at Treblinka.

( ... )

> Loftus said, “I was reeling. How about the presumption of innocence? How about ‘the unpopular deserve to have a defense’?”

Maybe in the latter case, the fact that she was promised $14k made the difference? Or maybe rape isn't bad enough that you lose the presumption of innocence, and genocide is? Or maybe she just wanted to participate in something so high profile.

> “I have to admit,” she told me later, “that it is fascinating to be, you know, in the trenches with the trial of the century.”
