Every defense lawyers worst nightmare

I wonder how many people wrote the editor about the lawyer who represented this guy twenty years ago?  From The Seattle Times comes the report of a former police officer wrongfully imprisoned for the last twenty years.  Read this and tell me you think justice was done.  Children: Father didn’t abuse us.

Note that the father entered a no-contest plea “after learning his court-appointed attorney had not prepared a defense.”  This got him “two life terms in prison plus 14 years.”

Best of all, he was “denied parole five times because he refused to admit guilt and enter a sex-offender treatment program.”  Of course.
