Public Defense

Thursday Tourette?s

By Gideon

I was initially going to go with “Thursday is ‘I give you links so I don’t have to blog’ day”, but that was too long.

So here are some interesting stories that you might have missed or will miss or have already showed up in your feedreader:

• Anthony Graves, freed after 18 years on death row.
• Latinos in East Haven, CT file suit against the police department alleging discrimination.
• Hiccup girl may assert the ‘Tourette’s defense‘.
• Briefs are due at 2pm today in Martha Dean’s lawsuit against George Jepsen in the race for AG.
• Colorado prosecutor defends comments that “public defenders do not defend the public”. Gamso has some choice words, as does Greenfield.
• CT’s first (and only?) planned sex offender treatment center is the subject of a lawsuit by the town where it will open.
• Elie Wiesel, Nazi death camp survivor, speaks against the death penalty.

And that’s it. Now get back to work.
