On Friday, D.C. Superior Court Judge William Jackson declared a mistrial in a murder case due to defense attorney Joseph Rakofsky's "incompetence." The entire situation makes my skin crawl.
People like Rakofsky give attorneys and the legal profession a (to say it kindly) not-so-great reputation. This "attorney" not only took full and complete advantage of the legal system, but equally capitalized off of his client and the innocent victims of his case. Rakofsky's lack of preparation and blatant indifference for justice and integrity is intolerable and he should be held fully accountable.
