I have an immense amount of respect for him; he serves a vital function in our justice system, and he gets vilified for it.

And let's face it: it takes a special kind of person to be able to act for a person like Rafferty and then go home afterwards to his own family. I don't think I could ever have done it, not because I believe it's wrong, but because I don't have the stomach for it.
