You can listen to what Comeskey said after the verdict here. Now, my personal opinion is that his comments there are over the line of obligation to his client, but that line is to some degree subjective. I also think asking a lawyer if he thinks his client is guilty when you know there might be an appeal is just dumb.

Quite, but what you are asking is that the defence case be non-existant or at least against the wishes of the defendant. Nai Yin Xue's defence was that his wife was having kinky sex with other men and died as a result. If his lawyers refuse to make this argument then Nai Yin Xue has grounds for appeal.
Actually, what I'd like is if the lawyer sat down with his client and said, 'look, dude, there's no evidence to support this position, and it's my advice to you that an appeal would be unsuccessful'.
We're never going to know what goes on between a lawyer and their client, and we shouldn't. And I do believe that even the 'obviously guilty' are entitled to the best defence they can get.
As a non-legal-person, I have a dilemma, as Craig touched on above, where that right becomes a right to blame the victim for their own death or to make extremely distressing person comments about them.

And. yes, I think Chris Comeskey knows exactly what dogs he whistles for at any given moment.
Yes, I'm doing the man the favour of assuming he's malicious, not stupid.

OK, so we've got to be careful what we say about the man
I've got to be careful. Should this column engender mass fuckwit-calling, I'd hardly be responsible for that.

The word y'all were looking for is "nude"
I find naked sexier.
Having just popped off to write sex scene, I've come back to this.
If I'm writing something sort of slow and (forgive) sensual, I might use 'nude'. But if I'm writing something more fast-paced and urgent, I'll use 'naked'. It's that whacking great k sound in the middle.

Kinky is that which might unreasonably inspire the same.
Reasonably, I think the word you want is 'unusually'. I'm not sure about the virtues of describing one sexual more as reasonable and another as not.
It is too cold for running around unclad, but.
The neurology of BDSM is really fasinating. We might get there one day.

Last week I posted a story featuring pics of a jersey sans man, Emma posted one featuring pics of a man sans jersey.
Someone owes you some pants, then.

A penis must be completely erect in order to obtain an accurate measurement. This may be difficult to achieve in a clinical setting.
Scientific understatement, I love you so much.
generally pronounced penusisses
Right next to the texteses.

Thank you for that, so much. It's remarkable to be able to convey the emotional experience so clearly. I had a wee cry to myself.

Oo, freakishly tiny nipples...
