There were other dynamics at work there, including my clients inability to either control his anger or frustration, and his inexperience in babysitting.
Those are not excuses for taking the life of a child. 25 to life was too lenient.
In a phone call to your mother you stated, "I am a 16-year-old blonde. Probably all I'd have to do is cry in front of the jury and they're going to feel sorry for me."
He's literally hired to defend his client as the client wants, and as strongly as possible. The defendant is a scumbag who punched a baby to death; the lawyer is ensuring he gets a fair trial, as is the right of everyone in our legal system. And he didn't say he justified punching a baby, he tried to claim there were mitigating circumstances (unsuccessfully). You'd want your own lawyer to try and claim there were mitigating circumstances if you were arrested for something too.

I'm implying that the lawyer should also get punished for trying to use that as a defense. Especially when the kid was recorded saying that because he's a kid that he can just cry and get off.
The kid clearly isn't fit to be a functioning member of society and the lawyer should be shot for trying to defend the kids actions.

White people: Man, the other day there was this cryin'-ass kid at the restaurant. I wanted to punch him in the face!
Jews: This kid wouldn't stop crying, so I punched him in the face until he died.
