Three Ladies of Mercy?
Any lawyer looking at a list of 500 injured and dead has got to pucker up real bad as it sinks into them how many ENEMIES they have acquired. With a 1.2% Schizophrenia rate, minimum, that would be 7 people who hear voices eh!
“Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”
The Ladies of Mercy should be defending that sh!thead against a charge of treason.
Boston Bombing Ping!
American taxpayers paid for his welfare to support this killer and his family. Now we taxpayers are paying for a team of high priced lawyers to defend him and help him escape justice. It broke my heart to rad about the 10 year old boy killed and the others who died and lost limbs. Now I watch as my money is used to support these people.
I have no problem with a law professor (who doesn’t actually practice law or operate in the real world) being appointed to defend this scumbag. I am surprised to learn though that W & L is a refuge of liberal ideology.
I would never, ever, accept a “high profile attorney” from the government, because they are often ‘ringers’, sent in to appear to put up a good defense, but guaranteeing that the defendant will be convicted.
This is done because of the “enthusiastic amateur” attorney problem. Some bright, ambitious young attorney might actually be able to derail a trial where the government absolutely wants a conviction, no matter what.
And that sort of thing happens, and not just in the movies.
And they do not want that to happen, so they fix the trial.
Loughner and Ted Kaczynski were both liberals... Judy Clarke did a good job keeping that information from the press... Oh wait, forgot - the press didn't want to know... 'if it doesn't 'fit' you must omit'...
