Everyone deserves fair trial

Jim Maxson, Minot

Lately there have been many lawyers on television commenting on pending criminal charges and lawsuits regarding a certain celebrity. They somewhat remind one of that great northern tier trial lawyer, Ole.

Ole believes the constitution insures everyone the right to a fair trial, even Swedes and Germans. After Sven got himself into a heap of trouble, he went to Ole’s law office to see if Ole would defend him. After Sven told Ole his side of the story, Ole responded, “For ten thousand dollars I’ll represent you. For one hundred thousand dollars I’ll believe you.”
