[Lady Cop]

i know that everyone, even the worst of the worst, is entitled to a defense. but i have to admire someone who draws their own personal line on what they can live with.


A defense lawyer for accused child murderer Levi Aron has quit the case after more horrific details were revealed about the killing.

Gerard Marrone, 37, said his conscience prevented him from continuing defending Aron, 35, over the alleged murder of eight-year-old Leiby Kletzky.

The New York lawyer and father-of-three admitted he cried about the case earlier this week and one of his children is just a year younger than the victim.

‘I have three little boys,’ Mr Marone told the New York Daily News.

‘You can't look at your kids and then look at yourself in the mirror, knowing that a little boy, who's close in age to my eldest son, was murdered so brutally.’
