Since when are criminal defense lawyers supposed to judge their own clients and throw them under the bus if they're found wanting?<br /><br />If you think Barry Scheck "doesn't help our cause," then I'm not sure we support the same "cause."Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-44576783230882292852013-11-27T13:32:30.130-06:002013-11-27T13:32:30.130-06:00Hey Grits, have a good one. You earned it.
Thanks...Hey Grits, have a good one. You earned it.<br /><br />Thanks for the round-up.<br /><br /><br />Someone said this - Mentioning Barry Scheck doesn't help our cause. The less said about him the better.<br /><br />Honestly, I used to think very little about him but, that was due to knowing that he assisted a 100% Guilty Killer in getting off scot-free. Since then, he has embarked on a mission to redeem himself via assisting the Not Guilty. Yes, sadly, that crow diner of an endeavor hasn't spilled over to include 'All' claims.<br /><br />Of course we all know that it's about following the money cases' (DNA, Death Row and the currently incarcerated) but, as time passes and more D.As'. declare they've tested just about everything; Mr. Scheck & Co. will be forced to consider the historically & systematically ignored claims. Any & all Pro-bono hours donated in efforts to address ‘All’ claims would be both; tax deductable work products & learning experiences for lawyers, professors, students & activists alike.<br /><br />It's my hope & dreams that it's done so without any of the current loopholes or hurdles. With that said and without knowing exactly what the commenter's cause 'is', we can't simply ignore him. Instead, we can and should acknowledge him and his Team's victories' in the fight to right a minority of wrongs and, continue to ask them to consider vetting them ‘All’ and letting the: ignored, hidden & faked ‘evidence’ speak for itself. <br /><br />*NOTE: Regarding the criminal justice system reform movement - I predict that in 2014, we will learn that the Innocence Network will announce the end of an era dominated by Cherry Picking for Justice & Evidence based Discrimination. 'All' wrongs will be considered as worthy of vetting vs. just those that show them the money and / or were lucky enough to have exhausted appeals. Until then, give ‘em hell and often but please don’t hate ‘em for ignoring. Thanks.Thomas R.
