Well when I defended someone charged with rape nobody called me a rapist

The Mauritanian

"Terms and conditions apply."

The Mauritanian • 2021

Nancy Hollander:

Well, when I defended someone charged with rape, nobody called me a rapist. When I defended someone charged with murder, nobody dug around my backyard. But when someone is accused of terrorism, people like you seem to think that that's different. It's not. When I stand by my client and I insist that he get a fair hearing, I'm not just defending him, I'm defending you and me. The constitution doesn't have an asterisk at the end that says : "Terms and conditions apply."
