This is not a good look for MJ. I agree, even though this shouldn't reflect on MJ at all since everyone should really look at these on a case-by-case basis. Knowing how people are, though...

I wish Mez stopped taking all these cases. But if he does, I'm sorry but I hope he'll lose it, just like he did Cosby.
BTW, only for the intellectually lazy does it have any reflection on MJ's case. But yeah, there are many of those, unfortunately.

The idea that a defense attorney would only represent clients who they believed to be innocent is absurd.
Everyone has the right to a defense, even people who are guilty.

^ It's not that thought, it's that it does cast doubt they he fully believes in MJ's innocence when he vehemently defends him if he can do the same for the 'more guilty' (for want of a much better phrase.

I'm pretty sure all criminal defense attorneys have represented a mixture of innocent and guilty people, and it is their job if their client is pleading not guilty, to represent that case. Folks are very quick to say that MJ escaped justice in 2005 because of hiring the best lawyers etc, but then if Mesereau is such a wonderkid and can get the guilty off scott-free, why couldn't he do it in the case of Bill Cosby? Haters want it both ways. The same people who say "MJs lawyers represented Cosby and Kelly, so therefore MJ must be guilty by association" also say "MJ only got off because he could afford the best legal team".... when the same lawyers couldn't get Cosby off and will likely lose the Kelly case also. You can't have it both ways. And if Mez does take on the Kelly case and loses, like he did with Cosby, this will annihilate the hater argument that MJ only got off because of his expensive lawyers.
