Ashley Okland Murder

Isn't that a requirement for his career? I mean its ****** up his job is to try and get people who are guilty of crimes off from said crimes but that's the name of the game. People, guilty or not guilty, do have rights and due process and while I find his job somewhat reprehensible it is an important part of the justice system.
Maybe. I could not live with myself if I did what he does.
 
Could alternately be looked at that his job is to ensure the state actually proves their case. Everyone hates it when it keeps someone who probably did do a crime out of jail, but if you're not protecting the rights of those people then its not a big step for the rights of the truly innocent to be violated.
I really want to see what the State has on this. That filing on top of taking 15 years doesn't give me any confidence they have the right person.
 
If they don’t have any new information in the 15 years and decided to throw this against the wall and see what sticks, shame on them. This is a person’s life they are messing with. If she did not do it, they’ve ruined her reputation, her livelihood, and likely her finances.

And forced the family to relive the whole death/burial/mourning experience all over again. If this is all they got, I’m shocked the AG’s office didn’t put a stop to it

….Or she has gotten away with murder for 15 years. Living her life without regard to the turmoil she created.
 
Second time I was in the jury pool with good ol CW. We were right next to each other so we got to chat a bunch about ISU and everything. Once they asked if anyone had any reason they shouldn't serve, he quickly raised his hand to say he was member of the media and he was dismissed. I ended up being selected as an alternate. So I had to sit through the entire trial and when it went into deliberation, I was able to leave.


Way to take one for the CF team.

Sleezy attorneys that get in trouble almost always hire Parrish. He defended two in our county. He defended the DSM superintendent. I know a detective who purposely joined the NAACP so he could have a card in his wallet when Parrish would question him about being racist. I like Parrish, I’ve met him a few times. The detective also liked him. He kinda keeps the prosecutors on their toes.

Your statement can be true. And he can be a parasite.

And challenging the Feds, but she’s not too interested in that anymore
 
Couple things-

I know Alfredo well as he is a family friend. He was a bi-weekly golf partner of my father in law who was a county prosecutor. They were joined in this foursome by the former chief justice of the iowa supreme court. I was privy to some of these convos and Al knows many of his clients are guilty. I have had the same questions as you guys about having to defend filth. Someone has to do the job though. Like a garbage man or snake wrangler, it aint well thought of but it pays damn well.

As for Ramsey, I know several WDM cops and i will just offer this tidbit. When she was questioned this most recent time it was different as she sat with her head down for 3 hours not saying a word or making eye contact. Nothing. Didnt even ask for an attorney. That doesnt mean guilt but it sure doesnt look good either.
