Hey, don't forget how they use confidentiality to cover up when they screw up. I saw a case where a kid was removed from parents who loved him to prevent possible, "prospective" abuse and was then sexually abused by foster parent's uncle. DCF fought like hell to keep the case, "confidential," and refused to tell the parents about the abuse.

In any death penalty case, the primary objection of the defense team to get death off the table or if the case proceeds to trial, avoid the death penalty through a jury's verdict. The lawyers in the Rilya Wilson case did just that for their client and that must always be applauded. It is no secret that many defense attorneys abhor the death penalty and every western country but our own has abandoned it as a form of punishment. The more progressive and more educated states in our union have done the same. So I think that your posts misses the mark by a mile. These congratulatory emails were not meant to deface the prosecution or the memory of little Rilya Wilson; there were meant to congratulate the lawyers who ensured her memory was not tainted with state sponsored murder. That is what many of us criminal defense attorneys believe. <br /><br />The memory of this little girl should shake the foundations of DCF and be a lesson to legislatures are they slash funding for programs that can provide care to the countess other Rilya Wilsons out there. <br /><br />But using this tragedy as a way to denegrade the defense attorneys in question or FACDL in general is abhorrent to our common values.

It seems that people want you to listen just a couple of songs, eat, drink something and go away as soon as possible. The staff seems to be in a bad mood. The bands are always unknown and weak. It's not a place I want to go back. This USED to be a great venue for music with decent food and drinks. The service was NEVER good but it has become awful. Not only is the service slow, rude, and often indifferent to customer needs, but now they actually curse at you (and wife) and threaten you. They go as far as to chase you into the parking lot.

That is not a public forum. We are speaking to each other. I don't believe that it is necessay to temper every 'congratulations' with a reminder of the underlying tragedy. Rather, it is a time for the lawyers to let the stress subside, to feel good about the importance of their work and to celebrate in the knowledge that they did their work well under very difficult circumstances.
