I thought this article was going to be about the debate the national GOP is currently having about Trump?
My first thought was, crap another story about Jenny Horne
Yeah. What’s happening with T-Rav?
Jenny Horne and T-Rav walk into a bar…..
I gag every time I see Haley, Obama, and Hillary!
And, I don’t even have to have an order to do it.
I bet. That big democrat dick you been sucking for the past 6 years must get tedious.
Seems to me that Roof’s public defender (Ashley Pennington) has already set the stage for Roof to claim ineffective assistance of counsel. Penning made his own cheap psychological assessment of his client, said Roof is sane. WTF??? Killing 9 people is NOT sanity. Being under the influence of mind altering drugs is not sanity either.
.
I don’t condone nor defend Roof, but Pennington needs to be removed. Besides, I have seen tons of murder cases in SC where indigent defendants were appointed TWO private lawyers paid with public funds.
.
Pennington just wants his name out there. That’s all. Rumors that his office abuses and misuses public funds all the time. Especially his other office in Berkeley County. Do a forensic audit of both.
They won’t appoint the two private lawyers until the Solicitor declares she’s going to seek the death penalty.
Remember the Duncan Procter case in the 9th Circuit?
Patricia Kennedy was a private attorney back then, and she and the public defender (was it Ashley Pennington back then too?) Defended the case together, but two private attorneys weren’t appointed. It’s been 23 years my brain is a little foggy on details.
I recall Kennedy was removed from the case after her disruptive behavior to the presiding judge. She was working for Pennington back then (91-92)
Pennington a competitor? Or did he get cha in court?
Columbia attorney called for an investigation into the conduct of 9th Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson and Public Defender Ashley Pennington, alleging the pair are guilty of ethical missteps that undermine the pursuit of justice.
Jealous much? lol
Berkeley Count PD is Patricia Kennedy, or was. A bunch of lawyers had her run her out of Charleston when in private practice. She could make it in private anymore. Went back to PD work.
there is a big difference between this and your “debate” of religious liberty versus discrimination. There is a difference between should and must. People should treat each other with respect and honor advertised price, service etc. People (customers, companies, employees, employers, etc) must never be forced to have black customers served at a back entrance per the law of the state (read Jim Crow) or forced to accept the patronization of anyone they do not want serve, for any reason, (read recent anti religious freedom for business owners)
Relax. Nobody said you have to quit being an asshole. That’s still protected.
As a general statement, I thought this was the procedural action taken in any high profile, vicious, especially murder case. Keep evidence out of public viewing as to not prejudice the jury pool. There is more to it, than just that, but that should be sufficient.
I know some people are curious, in a morbid, circus-like manner.
A year until Roof’s trial is really going to test the strength of any gag order against the insatiable curiosity of the public. My big question is about the body armor Roof was wearing in the surveillance picture of him entering Mother Emanuel.
Me too — doesn’t look like the act of an insane person.
Maybe he’ll do us all a favor while the guards aren’t looking and save the taxpayers money on food, clothing, and a court date.
