Quoted:
Friend of my dad's was a public defender and took his job very seriously. He got a guy off on a murder charge in a difficult case. After the verdict, outside the courthouse the guy turned to the lawyer and said, "thanks a lot. I really thought I was going to jail, since that time I really did it." He quit after that. Only a fool would think the accused are angles. Or that they don't play every angel. |

Quoted:
It's easy to support our rights when the righteous are the victims. The true sign of someone that defends them is when it's a shithead that uses them. You are at best a fair weather friend of the Constitution. What I want to know is how the DA screwed up. View Quote You can call me whatever you want, but a person who brags about committing murder and walking free has no place in our society and I don't care if the Constitution says otherwise. I guarantee the framers of the Constitution would have had that man strung up one way or another. |

It depends, if it was a federal case, an exculpatory "no" or "I didn't do it" is a felony if you did. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I don't think entering a plea is a sworn statement that could later be used in a perjury case. It depends, if it was a federal case, an exculpatory "no" or "I didn't do it" is a felony if you did. A plea, no. Testimony from the stand, yes. |

Simple. Federal charges for violating the civil rights of the deceased. View Quote Not sure how this would be a civil rights issue.... as I'm doubting he killed him because he was some protected class. There are "standard" murder charges under the Federal code. I'm guessing if Prosecutors haven't charged him under those yet, and are instead pursuing the possession of ammo charges they either: A. Want to see how this case goes before considering a murder case against the genius. B. Lack of witness cooperation (either they're dead, in jail, unavailable, who knows) makes pursuing a murder case difficult. 4yrs is an eternity for some in the hood. |

View Quote I always figured it was the defense's job to ensure that the rules of law were followed, and that their client was not the victim of a violation of their rights. It's their job to make sure that the prosecution proves the case within the limits of the law. It's not the defense's job to "get people off" of their crimes. It's to ensure the legal system treats them fairly. |

If one of his victims was a relative of mine, that would be all I needed to hear. |

Am I the only one who read the OP, and thought of this guy?
Richard Harrow learns Mickey Doyle a lesson!! Likely some punk wanting to seem dangerous when he thought he was safe.. |

Literal human garbage. He admitted to the crime. Screw his rights. Hang him high. It's easy to support our rights when the righteous are the victims. The true sign of someone that defends them is when it's a shithead that uses them. You are at best a fair weather friend of the Constitution. What I want to know is how the DA screwed up. By not having an eyewitness who would identify the accused. They probably just found a jury full of idiots. I'll bet that's easy to do in Syracuse. |

It's better that a 1000 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man jailed, GD says so

Huh? I don't see anything about new evidence in there. (Mind you, I also don't see anything like "unless you are found not guilty in state court, then we will go after you in federal court for the same thing by pretending it is different, but that's another topic.) View Quote Agree. Sucks the asshole got off (assuming he's not just being braggadocios to get his buddy off), but the prosecution should have done a better job at proving there was no reasonable doubt. |
