Brad Bannon’s testimony shows how incensed ethical lawyers around the country, not only in North Carolina, became when the DA made statements such as wondering why innocent people would require lawyers. That statement, which I blogged on here and also on my lacrosse forum, is so idiotic and stupid that it would be so coming from a grade schooler. But coming out of the mouth of a district attorney, it was simply mind-boggling. Any DA with so little disregard for the U.S. Constitution’s protections and for due process should not hold public office. Let’s hope that soon he won’t.
