Dear Editor,
Now that it has been ruled by autopsy that one of the men who recently died in
police custody, died either by being strangled or being smothered to death, the
family of the deceased will need a competent lawyer to defend their deceased
loved one's rights at the Coroner's Inquest.
Whether the family can afford such a thing I do not know, but in the interest
of justice and the overall stability of our democracy, those attorneys in this
country who are considered as being among the best, should rise up and offer to
provide the family their legal representation.
Just as some lawyers clamor to grab cases that can reap a lot of money, are
there any among you in our country who would use your training and abilities in
the cause of justice if the victims are not wealthy people or people whose case
could yield big money?
If this man’s family cannot afford the best lawyer money can buy, can and would
the best lawyers money can buy please stand up for and represent them
regardless?
Sharon Turner
