Amen!!! More money was spent on McVeigh's defense than on O.J.'s prosecution. For fifteen million dollars, McVeigh's lawyer couldn't be troubled to raise his voice in his client's defense.

Funny thing is, if O.J. was, say, a bus-driver with food stamps, how long do you think *his* trial would be? Besides, McVeigh's trial wasn't about truth or justice. It was all about getting revenge, drawing blood, satisfying the bloodthirsty people of America.

There are a handful of lawyers I respect as having the skill and the integrity to properly defend me to the max, but I wouldn't give you two cents for McVeigh's government-bought schill.

McVeigh's lawyer was probably influenced (read: leaned on) by government fascists, so that McVeigh would die.

The role of McVeigh's attorney was to placate the American people's sense of "justice" without rocking the boat. He didn't upset the American people, he didn't upset the judge, the prosecutor, his golfing buddies, or the court house restroom attendant.

Very different from say, Atticus Finch, in "To Kill a Mockingbird". He defended a black man, in a place and time very against that. While this government controlled dickless loser that was McVeighs lawyer, didn't prosecute like a man, because then he'd be blacklisted and treated like shit.

He did upset me, however, and that might turn out to be a big mistake on his part.

If anyone out in this world feels like bumping off McVeighs lawyer, please do so. We need less lawyers like him.
