In 1975, Hillary Clinton–then Hillary Rodham–took on a case in which she defended Thomas Alfred Taylor, a man accused of raping 12-year-old Kathy Shelton. You’ll rarely hear about the details of this case in the media because it makes Clinton appear frighteningly inhuman.
To be fair, nothing Clinton did was against the law, or outside the framework of her responsibility as a defense attorney. Criminal defense attorneys are obligated to defend their clients as vigorously as possible within the law. She did that. The point here is to examine her actions, as well as her demeanor when speaking about those actions, years later.
