I definitely see a position change from Tight End to Wide Receiver in the near future.Originally posted by UKFanForever:
I wonder if his tight end skills will carry over to prison life?

The old adage about 'can take the girl out of the trailer park but not the trailer park out of the girl' seems like it's appropriate here with a few word substitutions.
I assume you've heard the old adage that it's better to let a thousand guilty men go free than to convict one innocent person. The same premise applies with regard to the appellate process. Sure, there is plenty of litigation that's somewhat frivolous, but it's a small price to pay to protect the rights of those people who actually have legitimate complaints about their convictions.Originally posted by BBUK:
Yes, and now the appeal process for 20 or more years where the lawyers do nothing but charge by the hour to exhaust as much funding as they can, public, and private. He's in jail already and that shouldn't change but oh to be an attorney on this case...
In the words of Colonel Potter: "Horse Hockey" There is nothing EVER underfunded when it comes to attorney's. Tort reform FIRST and then punishing crimes to the extent of the law would heal more than half of this country's problems. Paint it however it makes you feel better.Originally posted by GTownJJB:

If you actually think public funding for legal aid is a serious issue, I don't know what to tell you. Defender services have been underfunded for decades, and the problem continues to get worse. The cost is miniscule compared to the vast majority of services provided by the government. Remember that the Bill of Rights specifically requires that defendants be given access to and the assistance of attorneys, so this isn't some kind of ridiculous boondoggle manufactured by politicians trying to line their pockets. Instead, it's an important part of the system we've created to protect the freedoms to which we're all entitled.
