Pinhead said 'These people are hired guns. They take money from people who sell drugs to our teenagers and young people,' he said.
'Yes, everybody's got a right to be defended under the law but you've got to see it for what it is: they are part of the machine, part of the criminal gang machine and they will see, say and do anything to defend their clients, and try and get them off and indeed progress ... their dishonest case.

Pinhead described defence lawyers as people 'paid by criminal gangs' when challenged on his assertion.
