Staying neutral in cases like this. Yea, makes you wonder wether these people are infact human, doesn't it?

Regarding the public Lippestad gains: this can also backfire on him, if people assume that he has sympathies for the murderer by the fact that he defends him. So this is a two-edged sword.

Absolutely.
Although i think that in this day and age not a lot of that happens though. Or does it?
I don't recall any noteworthy trials where the public has persecuted and ridiculed a defense lawyer in public. I'm sure someone may be along and point out just the opposite.
From a respect point of view to the victims and the People of Norway, i will from now ON refrain in entering discussions on this topic as i wouldn't be showing respect to them. Just my personal opinion, that is all.
