    Whatever lawyer or lawyers thought “blame the victimized child” was a good defense strategy need to be disbarred.

      “Look, Boeing offed a whistle blower. We can’t do worse than that, right?”

          Two so far. No closet is deep enough to bury that many skeletons. The first few murders are to slow further whistleblowers, it’s just business to Boeing.

            Two that we know of. I doubt this was a recent decision, probably years of employees “suicide or accidents” that should be looked into.

      Sorry, but If my employer asked me to defend a p3do and blame a 9-yo instead, I might just have to take that golden parachute. There are plenty of other high-paying corporate law positions out there.

      Ehh, not far from the standard defense strategy of blaming a rape victim. Personally, I’d like to see victim blaming thrown out of a courtroom/law and any attorney that tries it to be at the very least reprimanded for it and at most sanctioned like fined or disbarred. All attacking victims do is prevent people coming forward and it keep criminals free.

      Women get blamed for being victimized constantly because it works. If there was no backlash the judge probably would have agreed with it.
