Hey Aimee, check out the ethics on *this* dude... McVeigh's Former Attorney Willing to Testify Against Nichols Jones said he believes usual attorney-client privilege - which prohibits attorneys from disclosing what defendants tell them - no longer applies in the case. McVeigh had a falling-out with Jones after the 1997 federal trial and last year sought a new trial on grounds that Jones was incompetent and unethical. Jones said McVeigh gave up the right to confidentiality by making the attack. http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGAVY1AESKC.html

Eh, the attorney-client privilege has a good many holes in it. Some circles of folk are of the opinion that attorneys are very talky, perhaps second only to marketers. It seems that in these circles, lawyers are not known for being paragons of confidentiality, in stark contrast to their ethical principles and their personal beliefs. The moral? Well, let us just say that it extends beyond the "shithead federal public defender" context. ~Aimee
