A right to a criminal defense is one of the key features that distinguishes America from the dictatorships of the world. I can only guess you would rather live in a totalitarian regime than one where freedom was practiced. Threatening defense lawyers from doing their constitutionally mandated job is the act of a tiny minded coward that has no faith in our country and system of justice. Those bangers were convicted after all, so what is your problem? That the constitution applies to all? That is one of the many prices of freedom.
