If you were practicing criminal law…

Would you prefer being in the position of prosecuting the accused, or defending them ?

I really hate retributive justice, but prosecution. Here's why:

Before moving to computers my strongest subject was actually good. I could've gone to law school. My scores were great for criminal law. Small problem - if I KNEW someone was a rapist or something, I wouldn't defend them. I'd be the poorest lawyer in criminal justice.

@basilfawlty89 In my teenage years, I had thoughts of "retributive justice" on account of a few people giving me a hard time over some personal problems I had at the time.
