A man who ended up on death row after the AGC appealed his initial acquittal is once again acquitted from the capital charge by the Court of Appeal, who reviewed the case because it cleared the high legal threshold of there likely being a miscarriage of justice. (Which, as it turned out, there was.)
After the decision, the man’s lawyer makes public comments saying that he felt the AGC had been “overzealous” in their actions which led to his client landing on death row in the first place, that this hadn’t been fair to his client, and that they should apologise for the suffering and distress he’s been put through, having been just an administrative scheduling away from execution.
The AGC is now throwing a hissy fit and threatening to lodge complaints against the lawyer for saying, among other things, that they should apologise to the man who spent two years thinking he was going to be hanged.
Don’t you love it when the most powerful ones in the equation also want to insist that they are the most wronged?
