Killer ex-cop renews freak show, Nov. 18
Rosie DiManno makes a fair point that Richard Wills, the former police officer convicted of murder, is not a very sympathetic man. Mr. Wills is highly theatrical and unable to focus on the merits of his case. Moreover, the crime of which he was convicted is especially nasty.
But these are reasons to ensure he is properly represented by a sensible lawyer who will cut through the irrelevances and present the case in a simple and direct way. Only when the facts are presented can the accused and the victim be given justice. The very fact that Mr. Wills is unsympathetic and relies on trivial matters makes the need for counsel stronger.
