.[Judy]Clarke is a well-respected public defender who led the defense of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and assisted in the case of confessed al-Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui. Though she is not admitted to the Arizona bar, Clark, who is a member of the California bar, said she will file the appropriate paperwork this week. Anderson formally appointed her and a San Diego colleague, Mark Fleming, to the defense team.
Clarke wore a white knit sweater and seemed to act almost motherly toward her client, rubbing his back and patting his shoulder several times. When Anderson adjourned the hearing, she patted him one more time, then turned in the opposite direction as the U.S. marshal took her place and pointed the way for Loughner to his new life in federal prison.

Top lawyer to represent accused Arizona gunman
FILE - In a Dec. 3, 2007 file photo, attorney Judy Clarke leaves the federal building in downtown Boise, Idaho. Public defenders are asking that Clarke, the attorney who defended Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Timothy McVeigh and "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski, defend Jared Loughner. Loughner is charged with one count of attempted assassination of a member of Congress, two counts of killing an employee of the federal government and two counts of attempting to kill a federal employee. He is scheduled to make his first federal court appearance Monday afternoon, Jan. 10, 2011 in Phoenix. (AP Photo/Troy Maben, File)

Nice make-up. If I was looking to score with a pasty-faced legal hag who looks at least 20 years older than she is, this would definitely be the babe! Hey, I thought those female bow-ties went out with IBM’s dress code in the 70’s!
Am I the only one that thinks Judy Clark being “asked” by other public defenders to defend Laughner is strange at least and a set-up at best?
