There was no-one who defended that evil man


Explanation:
Dear JP.

"qui istum hominem turpem defenderet" is a relative clause.

qui: nemo (pronoun: noone WHO)
istum hominem turpem: object of the relative clause verb, that evil man.
defenderet: defended... subjunctive, with a "possibility" connotation.

Hope it helps, Flavio
