David Feige’s Indefensible: One Lawyer’s Journey nto the Inferno of American Justice invites people from all walks of life to a second hand experience of the criminal justice system hard at work. What is most interesting about Feige’s work is its distinct presentation of the life of a public defender in the South Bronx. Instead of simply detailing out his experiences as a public defender, Feige takes it a step further and includes the experiences of his clients. Without the personal relationships that he carefully constructs with each of his defendants, Feige would not be able to argue that the criminal justice system is flimsy at best, decisions always riding on either the judge’s personal attitudes or the clients propensity towards plea bargaining.

Thanks to the Massiah rule, Americans can rest assured that reasonable safeguards have been put in place in

Lynch succeeded in making the interview unfair for all involved. His flouting of the maxims of quantity and relevance makes sure that the media understands that there is an intentional driving force for his actions. With quantity, he only repeats one line that will obviously prove false when questions such as “Are you looking forward to the game?”. With relevance when the cat or dog question arose, his one line was irrelevant to his preference and more to do with his stand. Strangely enough, he does abide by the maxim of manner.
