As vile as these two pukes are, they are according to our constitution, entitled to a defense. A lawyer somewhere would have to defend them no matter what. The lawyers did their job, maybe not even to the best of their ability because they were so outraged by the crime. Now a jury has found them guilty and for that they should die. Hopefully there won't be a bleeding heart on the jury. If found guilty I would like to see them dipped in boiling oil for a few weeks before they BEGGED for death.
True. But THESE Lawyers did not have to choose to defend them. The court could have appointed lawyers. But these guys are on a crusade to get everybody they can off the death penalty. And in so doing, they deprive victims and their families of the justice they deserve. They may not be as bad as the Carrs. But they are still filth in my book.
I understand that that is the law, but I disagree with it. Guilt in this case is so obvious and the hideousness of the crime so great that there should have been no one willing to defend these people. Let there be a mistrial and let the defendents end up on the street. Then, let the outrage of the community make itself felt. Lynching would be entirely appropriate in this case. Some crimes are so great that a person simply forfeits all protections of the social contract and the perpetrator is little better than a rabid animal who must be put down.
As it is, appeals will drag on for years, and the Carr brothers will be able to enjoy all the benefits of subsidised government housing and cable television until the nature of their crimes fades down the Memory Hole and they become the next Mumias. How much you wanna bet that they "find God" and convert to Islam behind bars?
"The lawyers did their job, maybe not even to the best of their ability because they were so outraged by the crime."
. . . and therein lie the grounds for dismissal on appeal.
