Who is the defense attorney to judge the client guilty or innocent? Maybe the client's insane, maybe the damning evidence the attorney's seen is compelling but incomplete or misleading. We defer to the process for a reason. And hu

it does seem strange that this case is so big and the charges against him so large. Because he was caught up in the Feds surveillance of Anonymous. It is at least worth noting that Keys says it wasn't him. FTA: ----- “Let’s be clear:
