Re: FCPUNX:McVeigh on McVeigh

McVeigh's conviction was a given, no matter how skilled an attorney he had representing him. That's how it works at that level.

Given that he appears to have actually been guilty, and was not tried in California, perhaps he would have been convivted regardless of how much was spent on his defense. The O.J. trial should not be used as a legal standard; it was a media event, not a trial, with book deals for winners and losers alike.
