Lawyer for Columbia professor charged with incest brings up "homosexuals" to defend his client
<snip>
Epstein's lawyer, Matthew Galluzzo, said that charges against his client were still "only allegations" that have not been proven.

"Academically, we are obviously all morally opposed to incest and rightfully so," he told ABCNews.com. "At the same time, there is an argument to be made in the Swiss case to let go what goes on privately in bedrooms."

"It's OK for homosexuals to do whatever they want in their own home," he said. "How is this so different? We have to figure out why some behavior is tolerated and some is not."

1. typical attorney - uses his own lie to justify his client's behavior
"It's OK for homosexuals to do whatever they want in their own home," he said.

Sorry but that is not a true statement.

Well...except that they can't practice incest either.
