The problem of "selling out morals for profit" is why I quit criminal defense and went back on active duty with the military to finish out my 20 years.  

I could no longer stomach defending  the low-life scum bag killers, rapists, thieves, burglars, armed robbers, drug dealers, wife beaters, child abusers, arsonists and similar POS whom I was required to defend and get off if possible.

I took a pay cut, of course.  

But not having to deal with those slime balls was worth it.
