Why would anyone want to defend people accused of a crime? With a string of controversial prosecutions across Massachusetts, people are asking that question now more than ever.

Here, Attorney Chris Fiorentino offers a response borne from his experience as a Plymouth County prosecutor: it's the only way to make sure regular people get a chance at tailored justice.

The Lindsay Clancy and Karen Read cases have people asking why prosecutors take such aggressive stances in cases where the evidence of murder is thin.
In this video, Attorney Chris Fiorentino offers an explanation: It's easier to argue the defendant is evil than it is to recognize that the circumstances are complicated and the evidence is ambiguous. It can be better for a prosecutor's office, in the long run (and during election season) to be able to claim that they're the toughest on crime.
Recently, the Plymouth and Norfolk County District Attorney's Offices have shown the folly of that policy by blundering serious cases where innocent people were killed.

Both Plymouth County and Norfolk County have District Attorney's Elections coming up in 2026. Plymouth County DA Tim Cruz is unopposed, but the field is wide open for Norfolk, with 7 candidates running for the Democratic nomination September 1, including some candidates with very thin resumes.

Attorney Chris Fiorentino appears in Norfolk and Plymouth County courts dozens of times a year on behalf of Massachusetts residents, is familiar with these tactics and how they manifest in real life, and takes the time to ensure proper attention is directed toward challenging the quality of police investigations and identifying solutions tailored towards his clients' needs.

Why is the case against Lindsay Clancy going to trial? Because the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office failed to achieve a reasonable result efficiently.

The evidence plainly shows that Lindsay Clancy had very serious mental health problems - for which she had sought treatment and for which she had been prescribed powerful unpredictable medications intended to alter her mental state - during the time she killed her children and attempted to kill herself.

Here, Massachusetts attorney Chris Fiorentino gives his thoughts on why it didn't.

In short: because the prosecutor's office has lost sight of its duty to achieve justice on behalf of the people. In most cases, including this one, there are a range of reasonable results. Here, negotiated civil commitment rather than criminal prosecution almost certainly could have been achieved without the time, expense, and spectacle of a trial.

Sometimes clients ask me why I'm being so nice to opposing counsel - whose side am I on?
Just because attorneys are being friendly doesn't mean they are friends.

I often get contacted by students interested in going to law school... including the student who shot this video.
She was the first to ask: is there a type of person who shouldn't become an attorney?
Yeah. Yeah there is.
