IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT HILLIARY WAS NOT A PUBLIC DEFENDER, SHE TOOK THE CASE ON HER OWN ! ! !Hillary tapes reveal she voluntarily defended a child rapist that she knew was guilty. In this 1980's taped interview, Hillary Clinton laughed about getting the convicted rapist of a 12 year old child off on a technicality. Hillary got him off with time served in county jail, about 2 months. She says she used a legal technicality to plead her client, who faced 30 years to life in prison.
