She is asked "how can you defend men who victimize women?" and "how can you be a feminist and also a criminal defense lawyer?" Here is what she said:
"I've found that responding with a statement about the Sixth Amendment right to counsel can produce eye-rolling and that attempts to talk rationally about cases where women have made false accusations of rape nearly always fail.
"Yes, I do know victims of rape, and as the mother of two girls, I desperately want 'no' to always mean 'no,' but my unqualified disgust with acts of violence against women does not lessen my commitment to the rights of the accused."
