Tantrums of a senile la-ire

Ram Jethmalani is at it again this time he will be the defense counsel for Manu Sharma. This guy just does not stop amazing me. He has already acted as defense counsel (sometimes successfully) for people like Hinduja Bros in the Bofors scam case, Harshad Mehta and Ketan Pareekh in the stock scam, the assassins of Indira Gandhi and scores of other high profile criminals. What is it that drives him to pick up some of the most clear cut cases of convictions? Does he get vulgar kicks out of defending a criminal successfully? The pleasure being all the more when he knows for sure that the person has broken the law. I think the guy has serious problems. As the Americans say every personality disorder can be traced to a traumatic childhood. I think this guy had a tough time as a kid, was held responsible for all the pranks in school, neighborhood, at home, in the play ground. Spanked hard made to sit in the corners, grounded at home...Any punishment that you can think of this guy has seen it all. That's one of the reasons I can think of which explains his obsessive compulsive desire to defend murderers, gangsters, smugglers, scamsters etc.

You know what i have a sneaking feeling that this guy will also defend Santosh Singh in the Supreme Court. May the force not be with him this time around.
