Several of my clients work in Steve and Tony's Law office in Ashland. They did the defense for Winkler pro bono. (They are also defending John Ford Jr. at the present time and not doing him pro bono). Winkler got away with murder...plain and simple. McNairy County is full of backward liberal leftist Democrats and always has been, I know because it is where my family has been for the past 175 years. The prosecutor was new and untested. Farese and Balin got to choose the jury well. I'd bet they took the case pro bono because of the notoriety and were almost guaranteed to beat the prosecution.

Are you sure that these are John Ford’s lawyer”s? The guy’s name has left me, but I don’t remember Ballin being one of them. I could be wrong.

I don’t understand that. Doesn’t the prosecution have some say about who sits on the jury? Just like O.J. had a nearly all black jury, She had a nearly all woman jury.
