There are four ways for a defense attorney to defend murder.<br /><br />1. My client didn't do it.<br />2. It wasn't murder, but accident or suicide.<br />3. It was legally justified.<br />4. It was excusable. <br /><br />Number 4 is often an insanity defense or diminished capacity, about the only argument possible in this case. However, the MSM and various liberal politicians (if there is a difference) have opened the door for Loughner's attorney to claim that "the right" drove him to it. This may prevent the death penalty. <br /><br />On the other hand, Loughner's mugshot shows someone delighted with the attention he is getting. It isn't certain how he will act in a trial. <br /><br />David In TNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
