I Wouldn't Rep the Auburn Tree Killer Either

Harvey Updyke, the alleged Auburn tree killer needs a lawyer. We have learned that the 3rd lawyer, assigned by the court, to represent him has now quit. The lawyer cited "irreconcilable conflicts."
That's code for "I hate my client."
Sometimes lawyers are called upon to represent unpopular people in unpopular causes, that's what brings honor to our profession. But sometimes, you just don't want to rep some guy from Alabama who tried to kill Auburn's special trees.
