TV Show Idea

I'm fascinated by the lawyer who is representing the Arizona shooting lunatic. She has previously defended the Unabomber, the Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph, child killer Susan Smith, and the 20th hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui.

I love the idea of an entire law practice that is based around defending only absolute psychopaths who are obviously guilty.

Also, no one tell Jared Loughner, but by my count she is 0 for 4. She's had four pretty big swings and misses there. It's hard to cover up that google search, that's gonna stick out like a sore thumb.

Actually, she is known for getting the worst of the worst out of the death penalty. So on that count she has been very successful. But talk about setting the bar low. Does she go out and celebrate when they only get life in prison without the possibility of parole? I did it! You're welcome, now enjoy the next 60 years of ass rape and MSNBC documentary crews.

Anyway, it feels like there is a wacky David E. Kelley lawyer show in this. I'm thinking half hour, single camera. Lawyers devoting endless hours into defending guilty, so insane they're kinda funny criminals. It's all about small victories, and the situations are so horrific that the only way to deal with them is through comedy.

The first meeting with these people is a great start to any episode:

"It could be worse, you could've gotten on the plane"

Or

"Well, at least your kids aren't alive to see this...cause you killed them"

You get the idea. I would write this, but I think I already hate it.

And you just witnessed my process.
