An overworked and underpaid public defender is assigned to represent a prostitute who has no prior arrests and "works" to support a drug habit. What arguments from consequentialism might the attorney utilize when discussing this case with the assistant district attorney prosecuting the matter? Would these arguments change if the prostitute had been previously arrested and/or convicted? Explain your response.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So if the courts know the defendant is an addict and a street worker they will let her go either way in the states and in other countries its just another job but as it is illegal in the states it doesn't matter to the courts, jury, lawyers, and police shes just another speck of dirt and a wh***. My uncle is a lawyer and my brother is in college for law school
