Attorneys contracted to do defense work are way underpaid. The quality is horrible.
You think the prosecutor is going to tell the defense that they were paying some of the inmate witnesses or giving them other favors, even if they are required to do so?
Let me see if I have this right. You believe that people were bribed to testify against guy, a man convicted of the murder of a 12 year old, because he says it happened. His lawyer, who's job it is to muddy the waters to avoid execution for his client say so?
Forget the fact that the prosecutors office, police who were involved, prison officials etc ALL say it never happened?
Yep, that is a world I want to live in where the word of a child murderer is more accepted than the word of everyone in the justice system.
