"My initial reaction was he's a Muslim because he's married to Mona and his own heart is still Christian. He never adopted the outward symbols of the faith — he trimmed his beard and wore American clothes," said Washburn University law professor Ali Khan in Topeka, Kan., where Mayfield attended law school.

Ain't that special. American Muslims have their own law professor -- and he judges them on their Muslimness, too. I wonder if Mayfield was ever pressured to prove himself to be true to the faith with a special test.
He wasn't raised a Christian, so why assume his heart was Christian, unless Ali Khan is a prejudiced law professor.

Also this struggling lawyer and family man paid his own airfare to Houston from Portland to represent Battle in a doomed child custody case? No way did he stand a chance in heck to win this one. This was a courier run.....

To be a "struggling lawyer" in modern America means not focusing enough on one's practice.

Our dear Mr. Mayfield appears to have been preoccupied with other, extralegal matters.
