The fact that one party of a dispute gets to select and enforce the rules of adjudication is absurd. Even the agents of the state know that this is absurd, they would never let me select the rules and the enforcement of them for a trial in which I was a party.nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-34691893337623031872011-01-10T14:58:29.833-05:002011-01-10T14:58:29.833-05:00I don't think you know many criminal defense l...I don't think you know many criminal defense lawyers. At least, not many good ones. <br /><br />I have practiced criminal defense law for nearly 15 years, and serve as a Director of the Criminal Defense Lawyer's Association for the most active death penalty state, Texas. Your characterization of the criminal defense bar is groundless.<br /><br />Clay S.

I have been in jury waiting rooms with 'death qualified' potential jurors. It's very chilling. No way is this a random sample of the population. Wouldn't you say there has to be some screening for IQ and understanding of the english language? I don't think I'd ever get on a jury unless I kept my mouth shut or lied.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-47344077622398531072011-01-07T20:26:30.788-05:002011-01-07T20:26:30.788-05:00To "do you support to the death penalty"...To "do you support to the death penalty" I would answer "yes". The full and complete answer, which they didn't ask for is, "The criminal justice system is so unreliable that it would be unethical to convict anyone on a capital murder case with anything less than videotaped evidence of the murder and a signed confession, however I do support the death penalty for tyrants and other officials who have openly abused their authority."Scottnoreply@blogger.com
