This isn't about his defense during trial, no matter how much the progressives want to make it seem like it is. He had representation, and he has current representation. This is about his time as part of the NAACP that promoted releasing Mumia, or at a minimum getting him a new trial/off death row for political reasons.
You are a very smart poster, but you missed the boat on this one. Please read the prior post.
He's still trying to get a cop killer off the hook (if only the death row hook) for political reasons. They can wrap it up in the technicality of jury instructions all they want, but Mumia is a cause de celebre, and this lawyer has to stand by what he did. If we do not accept it, he shouldn't get the job, and he didn't.
Why is he trying to explain at all? If he were on the side of Angels, he would proudly BOAST he got Mumia off death row. Instead he tries to justify it with legalisms.
Debo Adegbile did his job - he exposed the fact that his sentence of death was issued wrongfully. Don't be mad at Debo Adegbile - be mad ... VERY MAD at the judge for dropping the ball.
I think that this guy was as guilty as hell, to me he deserves worse than death; doesn't matter what I think, though - there's this pesky matter of due process.
As much as I would like to prevent the Westboro baptist church from shamefully picketing solder's funerals, It's protected by our constitution. We can't just ignore the constitution and the principals of our founding fathers, just because It suits us on a particular issue.
