He cost us a lot more than that. Several hundred lives if I remember correctly.
You're absolutely right!
NONE of that is authorized nor guaranteed by our constitution.
It was all written and passed by a bunch of misfit useless lawyer scums only to raise their own networth to millionaire status! Just ask the john-johns.
What a gigantic waste of money after he had already been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Feds.
So what else is new?

Just another example of how our government has NO RESPECT FOR OUR MONEY -- THEY TAKE AT WILL, AND THROW IT AWAY as if it were an infinite resource. And the voters do not rebel -- just cannot figure it.
The book The Third Terrorist was absolutely fantastic. It convinced many people who previously thought it was all tinfoil hat time.
When the former director of the CIA, James Woolsely, is quoted as saying that that the world will owe the author, Jayna Davis a debt of gratitude for her research, you know it's a great book.
How do you propose the lawyer be paid then?
"How do you propose the lawyer be paid then?"
Let the FAMILY and FRIENDS of the accused/convicted pick up the tab. If the person is wrongly accused, surely they will have others who would be glad to help...after all, taxes are **all** of us helping--strangers--against our will. Used to be, those in prison pretty much had to rely on family for food, water and clothing...but that was way before our present and more humane--OVERLY humane--times and our modern country clubs for violent acts of homosexual domination....
Thought they could get a DP, and failed.
What if the person is a loner whose family has died?
Blurblogger, our Constitution guarantees everyone counsel. Everyone. And frankly I think it implies that the government has to pay for it if they can't afford it themselves. I don't think it would be constitutional to force family and friends to pick up the tab either; they are't the ones committing the crime.
I'm all with you about the country club prisons though. I've toured Alcatraz more than once and lamented that our prisons aren't still more like that.
How much has the BATF cost the us? With Ruby Ridge, Waco n’all That started this mess?
>>> we shouldn't be basing our judicial structure, such as public defense, on exceptional
cases like his.) <<<<
Soon as you change it for one. It will be changed for you!
BUMP
I want to know why they government (US or Oklahoma) just doesn't take him out back and put a bullet into his head?
Someday, I hope we see Jayna's story on the big screen.
It's sound logic, actually. Sorry you don't get it. Frankly it's ludicrous to saddle the friends with the tab in particular. I mean, immediate family I can understand, but anything past that is untenable. And what happens when that money runs out? Does the Constitution cease to apply when you run out of money?
But everyone that's not a member of his family or a friend should pay millions to defend this worthless piece of crap. Whew, it boggles the mind.
Sometimes the Constitution has a way of doing that to you. Besides, it is worth it if justice is served.
To me it is somewhat akin to our practice of presumption of innocence. Because we have set our burden of proof in this country for criminal cases so high, we have far more guilty people walking than innocent people being convicted. Frankly that's the way it ought to be, but the cost is that justice is often not served.
Refer to Post #17.
I can't argue with the emotion behind the sentiment but I'm damn glad we live in a better country than that.
