Kevin, you're the king of saying you don't know the answer. I don't either. I never said this defender did a "piss poor job," I simply brought up the fact that it's not uncommon for defendants who can't afford an awesome team of lawyers to get the shaft, due to the PD's lack of resources.
I'm not sure that even the late Johnny Cochran could have exonerated this kid. How do you overcome a group of eye-witnesses going into the double digits? If such a thing could be done, then I'd *really* think the justice system was broken.
